Recommend to crosspost on writing forums. If you are gonna keep it kids friendly I suggest posting it on SpaceBattles or SufficientVelocity. If not QuestionableQuesting would work. There people could give you a better feedback and help you with grammar and sentence structure.
I hope you don’t take take it as nitpicking, Author but a middle aged woman (attractive one at that) blushing at honestly bad flirting attemps from a 12 year old? I feel like I am reading a **** script not a story. Cringworthy to say the least. Second thing I wanted to say, is that you made the MC overly narcissistic (imo). My humble words, my good looks, my awesome magic, my super rare wand. I think you should tone it down a little. There is wish fullfilment story and there is “bow down peasants”. After reading a bit MC is closer to the latter.
I’ll be honest, there is not much to say about this novel (up to chap 70). It’s neither good, nor bad, a bit bland but that’s alright. Considering that half of all novels on this site are straight up garbage, it is already ahead of its competition. Don’t expect anything truly intriguing or new and exciting, this novel doesn’t have that. But it does have a solid beginning.
Dude thanks a bunch btw looking for recommendations on MCU (or Marvel) Either SI or Oc or X-over as an MC is fine, as long as they were not in canon. Btw no M/M (male/male relationship), no OOC (out of character) and at least 40k+. P.S. haven’t seen much of black widow as a pairing with MC (and still be a story not a plotless smut)
It seems that there is not as many good marvel and mcu fanfics as I would’ve liked (nor they are particularly diverse). Would love to see if you had any recommendations. I’d recommend Hancock Initiative myself. Different from the rest and decent quality. P.S. I prefer OC or SI or X-over character as an MC (basically MC that wasn’t present in canon) so pool of available fanfics is limited (discounting extreme OOC and M/M relationships makes it almost non existent)
To the Author. Decided to put a review simply to give what I consider a good advice. Dialogue and interractions between characters of Ancient One and MC feels very artificial. When you talk to someone you do not explain everything, give answers to everything and say everything you know. Your dialogue feels like a rehearsed scene with overly detailed explanation, preemptive answers to all possible questions and structured like legalesse or teacher trying to explain slightly challenging topic to young kids. People even if they wish to say everything and anything that’s on their mind cannot do so simply because some are not articulate enough, some are too emotional and most do not know what whoever they are talking to are thinking or feeling. Or it could be because they don’t have the time to think and formulate their answers ;) People do not have time to think like you do, in front of the computer to reply. It’s dialogue, it’s spontaneous, even if both parties came to the discussion with their own script.
I have no clue why this story receives so much praise. Besides an interesting premise it has nothing that I would find appealing. The world is your everyday copy of xianxia template (incompetent and greedy goverment, MC is strong and unique but hiding it, 2 warring factions, souls weapons, rigid power levels) with regular game interface stuck to it. Characters are one dimensional. It seems as if author before writing the story said “I want MC proud, cool headed and mysterious” and stuck to it like a mantra. That “template” is the whole character. Everything MC does is just for progression of the story, his newfound ability doesn’t put things into perspective for him, doesn’t affect his thinking or his ideas. “I need to suck blood and I am a Vampire” doesn’t make him stop and think a bit whether or not it entails something, whether or not he is ready to be viewed as a monster if people find out, he just rolls with it (besides the initial hesitation). The plot doesn’t seem special either. If it weren’t for the fact that the story is fast paced and chapters are so small with minimal exposion it would have been glaringly obvious.
