You are not smart enough to read this! If you take machine translation to the extreme opposite side, this is what you would get. What I'm saying is that rather than too little English, there is far too much! You'll need a dictionary or thesaurus handy for the large words and transliteration. Be ready to experience "the abortion of a rainbow", and "divorce" yourself from beautiful scenery. (actual descriptions from the novel) The metaphors are hot and heavy and plentiful. The story itself is genius and multilayered, but you may have to be one to catch all the nuances. You may notice I'm not a fan of excessive flowery language. But if you are able to absorb and understand complex writing, this ultra descriptive story will entrance you.

Now that you mentioned it... the descriptions you mentioned. Now I just realize if that sounded so... weird >< You're right, I was overdoing it >< too many "weird words" I've used in those old chapters. That must be incredibly frustrating experience >< because It's almost two years since I wrote those, that's why btw I'm currently rewriting a few beginning chapters. And for the latest ones, I try to minimize the use of "weird words" In spite of that, I wish you had a great enjoyable time when reading this story. Thank you for reading this story and pointing out its issues through this review of yours as my self-correction to improve the story. Thank you. Thank you very much ><

I realize that this is a pretty late reply but rather than the use of advanced vocabulary, it is your grammar that is the real issue. I do not mean any offence but the way you build your sentences is just horrible and makes it terribly difficult to read. we can't really immerse ourselves in the story because we have to stop and reread like every second sentence. those with poor English comprehension will have a very hard time even understanding a dialogue or monologe. despite that, for those with advanced English comprehension, it is a very good story. its very original and unique. if only the grammar was a little better, it would be easy to lose oneself while reading. I heard there is some kind of program or application for Gramma check purposes. it will kinda point out any grammar issue and provide a possible correction. don't know what its named tho. I suggest you try and contact other authors. most are pretty easy to talk to. they might be able to help you, might even provide some inspiration.

I apologize for a late reply. And apologize for my very bad grammar, because English is not my native >< But eh, that's not a reason to justify my downright bad grammar, and not to improve it... I've read your suggestion, and I really appreciate it. About the grammar app, I think it's called Grammarly. Many authors already mentioned it, and I heard many cons and pros surrounding it as well. But there are still many grammar tools out there other than that which I haven't tried yet. Honestly, I do use grammar tools, but only to check typos nothing else unfortunately, then edit the grammar mistake by myself. But since my grammar still suck, well... maybe I do have to do more communications with other authors... And yeah, I'll try to do what you just suggested... thanks again for your suggestions ><

It's very rare to find a book that implements philosophical reference, these days. Right after I noticed the title of the first volume, I instantly knew if it was based on a work of René Descartes. He was such a great philosopher indeed. As the synopsis says, "The crimson thread will begin to roll... casting its shades of gray." My guess this story would not lead into your typical good guy vs bad guy. No. It would become more complex than that. "Moral Dilemmas" as the author first mentioned in the 21st chapter, and the more chapters will be brought to us, the more it became blur and obscure. The border between evil and virtue will become vague. The MC really fit into this belief. A demon girl who is somehow contradicting to her born-nature. An angelic demon, you could say. But the thing is... not that simple. She seemingly has a helpful, kind-hearted manner, not because she is a demon on the outside and an angel on the inside, but because she thinks... simple as that. Then again, all of it are related to René Descartes works. You'd better read this story firsthand to comprehend what I mean. It's really worth it. As I really love the plot, the written narrative and characters description - from what the characters are doing, body language, behavior, their way of think and et cetera - are perfectly served, especially how the author put his/her own thoughts in some chapters. The grammar however, yet I can understand since the author isn't the native english speaker - so am I - nothing to complain. Despite a few mistakes, the story is still easy to understand. Then last but not least, the author seems worried about the low upload rate compare to other. Here's my little note for you, the author, "Don't compare yourself with others. There's no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when when it's their time." In conclusion, keep writing at your own pace, do it at a speed that is comfortable for you. I don't mind waiting a week or so for a single chapter because I know it will going to be ripe. A good chapter and a great story take time after all.

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up! Find it at -> https://linktr.ee/Garessta Updates: 2 chapters/day, right after the reset (with a 5% chance of running late). Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions. Also, although I realize the futility of this aim (at least right now), if this novel reaches top 15 golden ticket ranking (and stays there for a few days, obv), I will mass release 10 extra chapters! (within 30 calendar days)
