The story has a lot of potential, but there are some issues that really bother me. First, every chapter starts with “Location: X.” It feels like the author is against naturally setting up the scene. Instead, each chapter begins with a note about where the scene is happening, which gets annoying. Every time a new chapter starts or we switch to another characters POV, that location note appears again. Another issue is the POV choice, the author doesn’t seem to have settled on a perspective, some chapters are in third person, others from the protagonist's point of view or another character’s. In some chapters, the narration even switches from first to third person, this doesdn’t make sense, especially since this constant switching of POV doesn’t add anything meaningful. Third-person narration doesn’t reveal any relevant information that would justify the shift, it just seems like the author hasn’t decided on the best approach. The story is confusing and moves too quickly, with multiple battles starting without a clear reason, and the heroine is always on the front line, meanwhile, the protagonist feels like a secondary character because we see more of the heroine’s actions, it’s interesting that the protagonist is weaker, but I don’t understand what the author is trying to explore by focusing so much on the heroine's battles. To be honest, the heroine gets far too many battles for her own sake, after all, shes just a child. Okay, all these battles are because of future plot developments, and there’s a reason why it’s all happening, but there’s no need to force the plot like this. It makes it feel like this story revolves around this single significant event, with everything and everyone bending to it. There’s more to a story than just a good plot, develop the world, the characters, their quirks, relationships or anything beyond just the plot. We don’t know anything about the protagonist, what she likes to do, wear, her tastes, nothing, other than that there’s always another fight waiting for her.
It's a very interesting premise, but executed in a mediocre way. While reading, don’t worry, you can skip the entire section on the film production process, as the most important events that happen in the films created by the MC will be highlighted and commented on by the audience in over 20 reaction chapters with secondary characters' POV for each released film. You also won’t miss any significant interactions with characters that might occur in these scenes, because as soon as they are introduced, they’re quickly forgotten. This happens because these characters aren't really memorable, they merely serve to show how incredible the MC is. But be prepared for the cliche that all of the MC achievements will be seen as mere luck, no matter how many times he succeeds.
