I loved TGV(the author's previous work). Sure, many took it as NTR coz they had 0 braincells fueling their brain, many had problems with other parts of the story, but to me, the story itself was a masterpiece. What brought TGV down was the instable update rate, and the subpar writing quality. So yeah, I openly blame the author for ruining my experience with TGV. I was apprehensive to start this, worrying it would just be a repeat of TGV. Well, partly, no. The updates are stable(tho it doesn't say much since there are only 15 chapters out rn), and the writing has improved. What is a problem however, is the POV. The novel is written in 3rd person POV, since a majority of WN seems to dislike 1st person POV for some incomprehensible reason, this works in the favor of readers. However, the author decides to use first person pronouns like 'my' more often than not while narrating. It may seem like a minor issue, but while reading, a sudden disparage in the POV like this can be extremely immersion breaking. That aside, the story itself, along with the characters is very good. There isn't much to say seeing as how there aren't much chapters out yet, all I have to say is that give this story at least 7 chapters before you decide whether to continue or drop. The intro is done by that part, and you will get an idea of what to expect going forward. Since this novel managed to pick my interest, I will be looking forward to reading more of it while hoping the author doesn't mess up again. And hey, imo, the story is worth the chances.

LIKEThank you for the review. I can understand everyone's frustration concerning the update schedule but there were a lot of things going on in my life, like sickness or simply you know blank page syndrome so I do take some days off to not force myself to write otherwise it won't be good at all. I can at least promise that I will definitely end TGV despite the blank days. It's easier for me to write my new novel since it's in its early stages compared to TGV which has more than 400 chapters and planned. I have to be careful and slowly with this one to fill the blanks between all the main points I've planned. I suppose only fellow Authors could understand what I mean by that....
Yeah, it is understandable. I will try to give TGV another try sometime soon. Keep cooking.
