Write Quality: basic with no flare or anything original in it - 3 stars Story development: slow where it shouldn't be and fast-paced where more could be included - 2 stars Character design: plain and basic with everyone cut from the same card - 2 stars World background: Basic fantasy - 3 stars Personal opinion: led around by the nose from the start by a child, the main character doesn't show the emotional intelligence of an adult who has had dozens of physical relationships and instead acts like pre pubescent boy who has seen a naked body for the first time.

May I ask how far you got into the book? I believe I explained that the book started slow; I don’t know what else to do on that front, as I wanted all character development, relationship building, and exposition to be done in the beginning rather than dropping huge bombs of info on people. As for the world itself; yes, it’s fantasy. I don’t know why that was a sore point? Kind of hard to reinvent the wheel, and I wanted to write about a typical fantasy world when I started the book; large medieval kingdoms and empires surrounding, or having, areas that created or ‘spawned’ monsters. May I also know how the characters are all the same? Are they not fleshed out enough or do they all fall under the same umbrella of being ‘evil’? I felt that they were all different enough to be there own characters? Was that not the case? What exactly was my problem with writing style? Repetitive? Bland? What ‘Flare’ am I missing? The main complaint; the personal opinion where you state she doesn’t act as like her ‘age’ and is embarrassed by bare skin, is explained in the book. Was that explanation not good enough? Thank you for the review, but I want to know why it was so low so that I can improve upon it in the future.

For some reason, I didn't see the entire comment, so I'll reply again. I don't dislike fantasy. The reason for 3 stars is that it was a basic fantasy filled with your dungeons, demons, empires, and magic power systems. There wasn't really anything unique that you added to push it to 4 stars or a totally new idea that would push it to 5. For the character. It not that they all seem evil but because they all speak and act the same. There is no distinction in position or education; there is no difference in their attitude to the main character, and there is no difference in their personalities. To me, they all feel like elderly mothers fussing over a child or snapping at ruffians on the street. For the writing, It is generally bland to read with no creative descriptions or actions, and repetitive actions like "followed her gaze" "looked in that direction." Things like that can either be said differently or not said at all. The 3 stars are for the high grammar and readability of your writing. For her embarrassment. Maybe I didn't read it well, but for me, it just felt like you made a problem out of nothing and over explained to the point that it just seem like she was genuinely embarrassed by looking at their bodies instead of an indecisiveness on whether it was appropriate or not for her to be there given her mental age. I re wrote my reply because you asked for genuine feedback and were so polite about it. So, I hope this helps.

NOOO my beautifully written comment, down the drain cause the page reloaded... Not writing that a second time so sorry if this sounds crude, but I'll just note it down. 1. Most of the characters before chapter 50 ARE mothers, so that point kind of feels.... meh. 2. The dungeons and monsters are 'basic', but coming up with a unique array of creatures for your story takes a lot more effort than most would care to think. 3. Children will act like their parents to some extent, but with all the characters feeling like they are the same, I have to disagree. They all act in their own different ways, and I can distinguish their traits for myself. 4. The magic system is far from 'basic' from what I've read in my life. It is a nice breath of fresh air, and while I have watched a movie with a similar concept with regards to runes and the magic tattoo's I've never hear of a magic system such as this one. It blends a bunch of ideas together that mix well. 5. Grammar mistakes are a product of not rereading the chapters post writing them/not having an editor or both. 6. The dialogue point is fair, but you can note differences between the main cast. I know I had a few other key points to mention but bleh.

But why was that Alpha King father of mine perfectly safe, while I was hated, scorned and blamed for everything instead? Why did I have to be my father's bargaining chip, used to achieve his goals? Why could I not get a rejection like everyone else but was instead murdered by my own mate? Why was I killed before I even had a chance to live? I had a thousand questions and yet there was no one to answer and this was exactly how I died... So why then did my eyes flutter open to that day, a month before my death? Was it because of my little secret? A secret I will tell no one else but you... From the title of my tale, you must think I am an omega wolf... No, you got it wrong...

The Dragon King's Chosen Bride

What exactly does it mean to be his bride? *** Every year, in each of the seven villages that made up the great Kingdom of Ignas, a Choosing Ritual was conducted. During this Chosing Ritual, one of the ladies in the village would be chosen to be the dreaded Dragon King's Bride. No one knew exactly why the ritual was being performed every year or what happened to the brides that had been chosen in the past. Was he turning them into slaves? Feeding them to his dragon? Or was he... feeding on them? That couldn't be ruled out. After all, there were rumours that the king wasn't like them, that he wasn't human. Yet the question relentlessly troubled the people's heart. What was he using them for?! But they dared not question the King, afraid of what fate daring to go against him would be. Anyways, none of these was Belladonna's business. Although it was her village's turn to produce a bride this year, she was certain she wouldn't get chosen. Why? Well, because she had a plan and she was absolutely certain it wouldn't fail her... or would it? *** Note - This novel contains mature content. - Cover isn't mine. Full credit to the artist.

Hellbound Heart

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] - Izabelle had underestimated the fire she thought she was going to play with tonight. But how could she ever have foreseen that the man she had happened to come across with does not play with just a small fire, but a whole inferno? ___ Excerpt: "You going through this marriage with me might as well be like you digging your own grave. Because the moment you start to want more from me, I will divorce you. And the moment you break your promise and try to fight me… I will ruin you and break you apart completely. Mercilessly. You will regret ever meeting this devil tonight." His threat was given in the same soft but cold voice. But Elle did not even flinch. Her gaze never faltered either. This man was ruthless, and she knew that clearly. His eyes that moment promised nightmares and darkness without any promise of respite. But no matter what he says now, it would still not change her decision. She truly had no other choice. "I understand now…" she said quietly, steeling herself. "Since you don't trust that I will keep my word, how about we do this? You prepare the divorce documents beforehand now and I'll sign it. That way, once you decide to divorce me in the future, the papers would already have been signed and there would be no way I can trouble you about it. You would just need to send it to the lawyers and have it notarized." A heavy silence reigned before his quiet disbelieving laugh broke the silence. "I'm at a loss for words, Princess Izabelle." He looked wickedly amused. But then he started nodding in approval. "Fine, princess. I will marry you." ___ Instagram account: kazzenlx.x facebook page: author_kazzenlx Discord server: https://discord.gg/UGTA3A4 Cover is mine so don't use it.
