Anarchy of the Mice - jeff_bond

Interesting concept, especially regarding how the organisation "Blind Mice" actually operates. Love the character development as well. It was a great pleasure to read this book; well done!

Crossing The Silver Thorns - Quillworks

This story talks about the consequences of human actions on not just the environment but also on the families that live in the wild. This story tells a tale of how a single father would do anything to rescue his family from the hands of human poaches and reading it just made my heart clench and made me cry on his behalf. A truly heartwarming story. A great story for all ages; no amount of words can explain how great this story is. Keep up the great work!

I Am Not A Damsel - typewriter12160

A really hilarious and fresh perspective of a world with superheroes and villains alike. Great job!

These Godless Sands - -geenie-

Overall, a nice story with decent character development. Keep up the great work :)

Betrayal Of The Guardians - DianaTheThird

I like the concept of how the author uses the word "guardian" ironically and how she redefined the word "guardian" in the readers eyes. Great book to binge read :)

Game of the Gods: Rebirth - mountainlion2

Characters-the main characters personalities are unique especially when she slowly changing as soon as she got her memory back. I also like how the main character interact with her love interest as they slowly gain each others trust.

Grammar: The grammar are readable and good

Plot-The plot are twisty but able to keep up and well described the situation to avoid any confusion.

Enjoyment - the story full of action and thrill. The more I read it the more addictive it can be.

Overall- I could see some references in the story but the twist made the story even more exciting which captivate the readers. The suspense may be less but the action are real

The Summoning Stones - DragonGirl_97

Characters : The main character are well described as a traveller who feel first time alone in adventure.

Grammar: good descriptions , readable and nice use of big words.

Plot-The plot was unexpected, at first it was calm then suddenly became dark! I freaked out by the sudden intense. It's like it's spring then came the hurricane.

Enjoyment : The story are very enjoyable and very suspense as if it's Pokemon but more realistic situation.

Overall : A Pokemon adventures but more realistic and mature theme also twist.

Wicked Sands - (AUTHOR MISSING/NO LONGER ON WATTPAD)

Character : The main character is a strong-headed badass girl and I love her personality and her sense if justice but I don't see any developments as if it was stunt or vague.

Grammar : The grammar are totally excellent and well described the situation and background

Plot: the plot at first play strong but eventually it becomes predictable but the way you make the story flow smooth especially the actions part are good eventually people draws in.

Enjoyment : It's predictable but since the background are from ancient Saudi Arabia, I think for those who love historic action will enjoy the story very well.

Overall: The story are nice, well described and fascinating yet predictable but still able to have that strong plot going on.

Silver Scars - liljasolveig

Character : The main character are okay and perfectly portray the damsel from old century which is fine.

Grammar : The situation well described, the words are beautiful and perfect fit with the story

Plot: The beginning is a bit weak and from how the story goes, it can be predictable but somehow simple but not so bad.

Enjoyment : the enjoyment depends on the chapter. Sometimes it's nice, okay and there's a times its a bit turn off. But from how the story goes, it's like a fairy-tale, fast but good.

Overall: The beauty of the fantasy is there but the make it more intriguing especially the characters

Force of Nature - RiverHyland

Character : Please describe more about the characters. I feel like I'm skipping 4 chapters when I read the first 2 chapter

Grammar : Readable and okay. But please more detail descriptions.

Plot: Too fast like a racing car, full of confusion. The canon pairing, where's the canon? But i give a point to the danger she got herself into.

Enjoyment : It's good but the more I read it it's getting more confusing so it depends.

Overall : It's not wrong if the plot too fast but make sure it's described fully especially the characters romantic interest. It's good but not enough.

Good Girl Gone Bad - ValentineJ7

The cover is simply made, not much effort is put into the cover but overall the text and the image is easy to see, so points to that.

The summary is fairly short and it seems like a typical 'read to find out' kind of summary. Not enough details or any plot about the book. It will be great if the author conveys this book as an action/adventure, right now it doesn't seem like one. Also, the use of an emoji will come off as unprofessional and often readers, like me, would click away. Some helpful tips would write a summary that shows who the main character is and her motives and a brief introduction about her.

Chapter 1, an interesting chapter so far but I couldn't help but see the amount of author's notes appearing in the middle of the chapter and onward. It really cuts the story flow and narration. It's really unnecessary information but if the author really wants to keep that character information, make sure to include that within the story. Like, show that through the main character's inner monologue, instead of writing that on author's note.

Quite readable but there are errors in the punctuation.

The characters in the book don't stand out for me since their speech and dialogue seems like they are all the same character but with different names.

Again it didn't stand out to me and it's confusing as to whether this book is supposed to be action/adventure and I feel like I'm reading a whole different genre.

Stalker - DeathSD

I like the cover so far. I can tell the overall premise of the book just based on looking at the cover without reading the summary.

Great start so far in the summary, liking the dreaded feeling that the main character is experiencing.The dialogue is easy to read and seems pretty believable. I enjoy the flow and prose so far but the only thing that threw me off is the POV in front of each chapter.

It's decent to read punctuation wise.

Right now the characters seem a little flat from the start and onwards. As of now, the plot seems to move very fast. Not to the mention the chapters are very short, especially how the author could easily put several chapters into one scene without spreading them throughout the book. Also I'm not entirely sure where the plot is heading and stopped reading after I finished with 'Information' chapter.

Fallout: The Hunt - A_Sinful_Writer

Feels very apocalyptic, though I don't know much about Fallout, I know for a fact its set sometime in the past. I can't see what the bottom black text on the cover is but it feels it's a movie poster which is a cool idea.

The summary. That's where it starts to fall apart. Again, I may not know much of Fallout but it doesn't give a lot of information of what the premise of the book, especially what the powerful beings are. Show the motive and more of the plot but still don't give much away.

The first chapter is short but a very good introduction. It's solid and one can tell the author put effort into their chapter with great prose and conflict. It's enough to get me to read the next chapter without hesitating.

Again, I loved the characters, they aren't one-dimensional or flat. I can clearly tell their conflicts, both inner and external, as they weaved and travelled in this grim world.

It has great amounts of action and suspense, great prose though the chapters are short. I can't complain much since I'm actually enjoying the book a lot. Though the last chapter (not to mention it's a short read so far with only 4 chapters), I can see it gets longer but still it isn't something I would take points off.

The Descendant - JamieMelki

I really love the colour theme on the cover and the drawing or design of a dream catcher. The font invokes the feel of what the book is about as well. Overall a great cover!

The summary has everything but kept it simple to the point. It made me curious to read on and find more of the prophecy, the evil shaman, and the main lead Ayita.

Normally I don't like this set of prologue but I have to give it to the author, it feels fleshed out and interesting concept as the main lead (Ayita, hopefully) is retelling her past experience and know for a fact it is going to be a weird but great adventure. Though I wished the chapters are longer!

Great set of characters and original. I enjoyed learning about Ayita and her culture, as well of her interactions with the others.

Beautiful description and plot in general, the pacing and the narration is very believable and the author understands where and how to end each chapter.

The Shameful Past of Mistress T - VoiceOfAlasais

I won't say much to the summary but I have to put in that I like the way the author crafted the summary, it's very interesting to read on.

Love the whole fantasy feel with adventure and action. I really love the prose and it's crafted very carefully and distinct.

This by far has the original concept of the main character Talia. I feel the connection as a reader towards Talia and her characterisation and interactions are shaped perfectly and the style of the book. I love every aspect of the character and would love to read more of her.

I can't seem to find a good place to stop because it's just so good. It took me days actually to forced myself to stop rereading the book and couldn't get it off from my mind. The author executed the plot without blaring errors or does it disrupt the characterisation and the narration. The book has great pace and the story easily unfolds to the next.

Infiniteum - Rinkou

A very gripping and exciting book filled with humour, drama and hot mysterious super heros. I absolutely adore this book. I love how adorable completely normal and relatable the main character is. This book is extremely underated

Too Hip - m3gan_nicole

A funny and very entertaining book with a daring and spontaneous main character who takes charge. It's a good book but grammar needs to be looked at. E.g the word 'drug' as past tense for the word drag on incorrect; instead use 'dragged'.

Rise Of The Mafia Brothers - JaguarLove135

Here's the thing: your plot/idea is actually really good, though a smidge cliche, but the way you present it needs work. The flow is a little flat, a lot of showing, not telling, and though there's definitely action and a good back story, it was hard to stay hooked. Your grammar was good, though your dialogues should be with "..." not '...'. I did enjoy reading, but the multiple POV's and switches kept it a bit confusing. Good luck to you, I encourage you to work hard and keep it up, you've got a good storyline here!

The Rainforest Experiment - Livtoread3

I think you've got something really good here! Your paragraphs need to breathe, I suggest skipping a line or two and separating ideas to make your story easier to read. Also, consider changing some of your longer paragraphs into dialogue - it'll help the story flow. Otherwise, your characters were good, though I'd want to see/hear more of Daniel (his physique and body language) a little earlier on. Your grammar was good, no mistakes that I saw, just structural issues. It's an intriguing adventure, and I felt like I was there with them. Good luck!

Ocean's Tale - AllAboutWordz

Your story is sweet! I like your idea but there are a lot of repetitions and punctuation erroes, as well as typos that made it a bit tough for me to navigate. I did like your main character, and his dynamic with his friends - they were charismatic and funny. Your dialogues were a bit robotic though, might want to revise that a little. Overall, for a brief moment I felt like I was on an island, surrounded by a mysterious, deadly sea: I felt like I was there, your descriptions were good! Good luck to you!
