I am happy that you left a review. About the side-characters like Jason you mentioned...I know that I had not introduced him that well. Actually I was planning to focus on the Main-characters before going to the others. I kind of wanted to write flashbacks so that the others would also be highlighted and you would be able to get to know them better. Like Jason's case, I was just planning to write about him in brief and also about Felix when Jennifer is trying to find more about his death. This is slow paced and I know that but I would be sure to write more about the side-characters as you have mentioned. Again thanks for your honest review.

I understand where you're coming from, but what you're mentioning is a backstory; there's more than one way to flesh out a character. For instance, introduction: in the first chapter, when Jennifer meets her team at the airport, you could have Jason asking Jennifer about Felix. Something along the lines of "How's Felix? I haven't heard from him for some time," to which Jennifer would state he's fine and you could just add a paragraph detailing some stuff about Felix (Jason was referring to another member of their team, Felix. The latter had gone through many hardships with Jennifer since they were children; in many ways, he was like the brother she never had.). This doesn't only work as foreshadowing, it also informs the readers while showing more dimension to Jason (who's asking Jennifer about someone close to her, indicating how he feels). You could also do the same for interactions, like - for instance - "Jason's eyes turning soft when he gazed at Jennifer's back" chapters before you reveal his true feelings for her. Then there's description, that plays a big role. When you read my novel, you'll notice I describe the characters' features. For instance, let's use my MC, Jason. I describe him as having "short, messy hair", "onyx eyes that shone like black opals", a strong jaw and squared chin that's covered in a stubble, "sunkissed bronze skin", and a perpetual smirk. This description not only allows the readers to imagine his looks, but also his personality. His messy hair and stubble show he's carefree and doesn't care about his looks, while his smirk says he has a bit of a rogue personality (shameless etc). Almost every character was missing this, the description that brings a character to life. Then there's the third, one that sometimes overlooked even by me: personality through dialogue. Every person has a different way of speaking and it symbolizes their personality. Again, I will use my novel as a reference. The supporting cast each have a different way of speaking: Alina, the MC's sister, speaks frankly and is also free-spirited like her brother, yet there's a hint of melancholy underneath. Her classmate, Asami, is bubbly and cheerful, the heart of a group, which is shown when she's the first to speak with Alina, who is considered op by her class and possibly arrogant. Michelle is stoic and barely speaks, resulting in many assuming she's cold, but that's cause of her nature and the fact that English is her second language (I also added French dialogue in her sentences showcasing this). It all gives a character the personality they need. But in your novel, it's a little hard to differentiate; you could switch Jason and Zavier's dialogue and it'd sound the same cause none of them have a unique way of speaking and interacting. And it gets a little bad at times: I really thought that Jennifer's team was composed only of yes-men (and a girl who is more of a fallgirl for Jennifer) due to this lack of characteristics and personalities. It's not all bad and all, and I'm in no way criticizing your work, but I'm looking to help you improve it as I believe it is truly a good book worth investing. I hope you don't mind.

Thanks I will work on it. I am planning on editing my previous chapters and I am really thankful that you have helped me a lot. Thanks once again ❤️❤️.
