As I wish to be entirely honest, I must say that this review may appear rather negative. I focused mainly on what - in my best opinion - has the most need or potential for improvement (in the hope to help you progress rather than simply sing you praise). The very start of your story has the potential to be immersive but fails to grasp my attention. I think this is due to the fact that there is an absence of rhythm in your writing, something I noticed as well further throughout the rest of your work. The characters feel rather flat and I fail to imagine them. Although I believe they have the potential to become compelling and appealing personages. Sometimes the dialogue sounds forced, although you do show to have the ability to write engaging dialogue, but it gets buried under the more stiff conversations. As for the chemistry and romance; it is slightly entertaining, but it does not thoroughly convince me. The chemistry appears very obligatory and just doesn’t seem natural. Although as a reader I need to get a secondhand infatuation with the love interest. Grammar wise there are a lot of mistakes but I‘m aware English isn’t your first language and you are trying to improve. I know the difficulty of this myself. I do appreciate that you clearly put a lot of effort into your work. I applaud your enthusiasm and truly hope that my harshness did not dissuade you from continuing.

LIKEFennecYeou:Not really I appreciate it! ^.^ Thank you! I'll improve my writing by a lot ^.^
In the knowledge that this is quite hard for me as well, I can only tell you to read. Read good books. Read stories from good authors - and, pardon me for saying so, webnovel authors don’t classify. Read and learn from Hemingway, Woolf, Fitzgerald, Twain, Dickens, Orwell, Wilde, ect. They will show you how good writing is done.
FennecYeou:If it is possible, can you advise me how to make my characters and dialouges not dull? Im having a hard time bout the dialouges ;•;
I apologise were my concerns to be unjustified, but I was wondering whether you might have forgotten - as this review was part of a review swap - to read and review my story ‘A brief journey’. If this were to be the case, don’t worry, such things happen. I look forward to your feedback.
FennecYeou:Thank you again for the very hard critique! ^•^
