I’ve seen lots of Author Reviews on this site so I decided to do one as well. Overall I like to think I’m doing a good job and most of the comments I’ve received have been really positive. There are a few valid criticisms, the first being the MC will be overpowered, I want there to still be stakes and for the MC not to drift aimlessly, but in my mind she will have to be strong for a student to actively impact the wizarding world. A second valid criticism is the way that I write. I am a few credits from an engineering bachelors, I don’t have a minor in English or anything of the sort. I use AI tools to fix my mistakes and edit for me. I am still trying to figure out a good balance between keeping the words I put on the page and using the words that the AI likes. If something looks too Computery and you think it detracts from the story please make mention of it and I’ll try to fix it. Finally I am a little loose with canon, I’m going to reread the books when I get to each of them in story beats, I am trying to avoid “future knowledge” showing up in the story, but the preventative measures could be leading to me misremembering names and specific spells. I also sometimes just add stuff that I think could be interesting. Tldr: Author has a few errors I plan to work on. Criticism is more than warranted and please continue to give it. Author snorts glue professionally and therefore should be treated with a grain of salt.

TA is a teaching assistant. In most colleges the amount of students is too many for a single professor to grade, so a TA or group of them is needed. They also answer student questions and usually hold office hours in my experience. Some are incredibly helpful and grade kindly. There are also quite a few who have the modicum of power they are given go right to there heads.

You are correct, I'll make sure to make mention of it, there will be a few lines about magically increasing bone density and strength in the next physical focused chapter. I was thinking of talking about a variety of magical animals whose by products have heightened nutrients, like a cow like creature's milk having insane amounts of calcium and/or a fat fish creature having unearthly amounts of vitamin D. I would then mention her increasing the amount of osteoblasts post damage and osteoclasts to create that damage.

So real, not everyone can be that cool or even approach that level.

There is a “little” blind faith in Snape, a lot of students trust a professor to stay unbiased, and a lot of us think very positively on our role models.

This is going to be the last of the "I do something no one else can do because biology awesome" for a bit. I like trying to add something science-like to explain why something works but the brain is very much not my forte.

I promise to put antics like this in as the twins get older.

Jumping off the deep end, she doesn’t know the HP books or that they existed, I’m just going to say they never existed in wherever she was but other media stayed broadly the same.

That's Completely Fair, I was initially going to go with Ceres after the dwarf planet, but I didn't like how that sounded so I chose a similar name. Hellsing ultimate is also peak.

Trying to decide whether or not she read the Harry Potter books, right now I’m thinking no as a lot of stories have a future seeing protagonist and I’ve already made her broken as is.

Thanks for telling me, you are a real one for that

The only real problem is that there isn’t enough, one of the only pieces that seem to nail Tanya’s personality. The multiple POVs work well to show how Tanya reads situations differently then “the normal” characters.
