A string of shorts. This review is part of a review swap and valid as of chapter seven. We have one, or possibly two stories told through a few short stories stringed together. Stories is maybe too much. They are mostly one scene each giving the reader a snapshot in time. With a structure like this it's a bit hard to speak about a plot progression. You land in a new situation whenever you move on to the next chapter. Give the format I'd expect the language used to be tuned to perfection, but sadly enough it isn't. While I'm assigning the stars just as if this was any other story, in truth any deviation from top notch quality detracts more from a short story compared to a novel. Now for the stars. Writing: Four stars including the standard extra star I assign to anything written for this site. Shaky English and wavering use of tenses detract from the reading experience. Updates: Five stars. Too few chapters for me to have an opinion. I'm just handing out the full five stars. Story: Four stars. Plot is seldom the backbone of a short story, and this collection is no exception. Character: Five stars. As is usual short stories tend to be character portrayals. We have them here as well. World: Four stars. With the little space available for a short story an author is usually forced to concentrate on one of the big three; plot, character or world. The choice here was character. Lastly this collection needs a thorough edit. It doesn't need it to become equally good as other stories on Webnovel -- it needs it to become a lot better. That's the price paid when you write short stories.

LIKEThanks for the review! This is my first time in writing and sharing my stories in public, plus still too young to have much experience to write a good one so I would expect to have so many flaws on my stories. I'm grateful for you pointing out my mistakes, I'll surely try to grow and improve more so I could par with my readers' expectations English is not my first language so I'm sorry for any wrong grammars and the typing errors
