I'll read a couple chapters of your story and give feedback best I can [No Submissions Temporarily (I need to catch up on everyone)]

If you don't mind, I would love any feedback you can give. Thank you!

I like the cover art. Getting into the story, we're met with a really fast paced prologue. I think I'd complain that it was too fast, but it actually segues quite nicely into the protagonist "waking up" in chapter 1. But, we also pretty much immediately toss him through time after a single paragraph. I think the scene in which he gets time-travelled needs a bit more meat on it maybe, right now the transition is just "I suddenly felt dizzy" without any more physical description.

Again, I enjoyed the description of the area, it's very immersive. I'm a bit surprised by the fact that the protagonist is relatively cool-headed, makes me wonder what kind of person he was back in the 21st century. Now, Whitechapel in 1888 means Jack the Ripper, so, looking forward to that. Your fight scenes are definitely good, btw, and fun to read as well.

Overall, it's pretty good. Very likeable cast, though I feel like the MC is a bit lacking? Maybe we'll know more about him later into the story. Good stuff

Thank you so much! There is more character depth later on but I do agree that it it needs some more descriptive meat.

hi! i'd love some feedback, i'm only starting out as well so i'd be grateful for any reviews


The synopsis is definitely attention grabbing. This isn't a genre I typically read, but I think the prologue does a good job giving you some romance as a hook, though I think it could do with a bit more information on the siege conditions before we get into the tent with them. Leksa and Demyan are pretty likeable characters, the whole "my wife" thing is pretty funny ngl. I'd like to read Chapter 4 of this to see the two leads interactions (there's a bit in the prologue, but those are under special circumstances). Good character description here, especially for Leksa.

My advice is just to keep going, not a lot has happened yet but it looks pretty promising.
Hi! I am new here. I will love a feedback. Thank you. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/2125209/the-warring-epoch/. This is the link
The synopsis isn't very good. The "Welcome to Balia" part is slightly redundant because that's just how our world works, too. I'd keep the "world favors the bold" bit because the next part of the synopsis builds off that. Another problem is that the synopsis doesn't really tell us what we're getting out of this. Do these three characters have any relation? If so, to what end? I think that should be hinted at.

I'll read to Chapter 5, like Chapter 1 instructs. About chapter 1, it's mostly good, but the mercenary's part is weak. The main problem is really the dialogue, which isn't written very naturally and doesn't flow well. For example:

"No offense taken. I am Maja, although the pronunciation goes something like Maxa, call me however you want"

I mean, these guys aren't speaking with textboxes, so who is she saying this for?

The plot is pretty interesting, but there's a problem with the narration. I find it a bit long-winded, you could easily trim down a lot of excess without taking away anything from the plot and simultaneously improving the style.

Also, for some reason, Chapter 5 and Chapter 4 are identical. Did you accidentally overwrite Chapter 5 with Chapter 4???

Hi! Thank you so much, I hope you know you're doing god's work entertaining so many authors, even when the genre is not your thing:)

With the siege logistics in the prologue - I was a bit afraid to go into full military description since, well, my target audience probably doesn't care much... but I feel gratified knowing I could've been more descriptive, so thanks! If you ever read to the next chapter, I hope the interaction won't be disappointing:)

What it says in the title

I'm pretty new to this, but I think I can still be of some use

I'll try to give meaningful and constructive feedback
Here's my story!
Thanks!

Don't want to burden you, but would you read mines if you have the time?

Just a couple days in here at ScribbleHub and I'd really appreciate if you'd give my story a look. Thank you.

Thoroughly enjoyed the prologue, especially the ending. I don't understand the bio-engineering stuff even a little bit, so I don't know how accurate it is, but it reads pretty nice. Whenever I read "Hedi Slimane" I think of that one account on TikTok and get a smile on my face. But, when we get into the actual story, I feel the transition straight into the apocalypse is abrupt. We spend all the time before that being told about the main character, then there's a sudden boom and the plot kicks off. Even after the boom, we're still getting infodumped a bit. I'd rearrange the beginning to get the stuff about the radios and his sabbatical before that happens, maybe include a bit of him just doing forest stuff.

Overall pretty enjoyable and the main character is interesting. The highlight so far is the man on State Route 49. This is a sort of story that relies a lot on its characters, so I look forward to seeing more characterization and differentiation out of the rest of the MCs

Thanks a lot - its great feedback, too, and it means a lot to me that you read it. The genetic engineering dump was an attempt to make the catastrophe plausible, and it takes place a couple of weeks before we see the MC - the idea is that shit was sideways while Rob was just decompressing in the woods. Cell service down, etc etc....so yeah, I can see how its an abrupt intro inot apocalypse.

The SR-49 guy was an add-in on my editing re-write. Its hard to conceptulize what a society would look like if 75% of people had teired psychopathy, but he's got it. Tier-2-ish.....Ted Bundy-esque.

It is character driven, for certain - partly because the writing is a therapeutic exercise for myself. But its also a little tough because they don't have really any idea about what's going on. The prologue is stand-alone...but it does play in a bit later.

Thanks for reading and I hope carry on with the story as it unfolds.

This is a slice-of-life comedy about an overpowered dad who tackles parenting dilemmas with excessive force.

Sure, I’ll bite:
I always find myself forgetting to give my thoughts on the synopsis and cover image, so I'll write this first. Cover art is neat.

And then there’s the little detail that she’s developing feelings for her feral companion who’s showing signs of being more than a simple wolf…

Interrobang, but the synopsis does inform me well as to what to expect.

Moving onto the story. Chapter 1 is a decent introduction to the main character. Her day is comedically bad and it's pretty enjoyable to read for that reason, and we get her whole wolf thing set up well. Side cast seems relatively bland and stereotypical, but I like the MC and her dad too as of chapter 2. The atmosphere and the description of places is nice, I get a very "grey" feeling from all of it.

Now, overall, the story is written and told well. The dialogue is a bit cheesy at times (Candice and Sophia confrontation) and the side cast I don't care about as of where I'm at. Slightly put off by her being turned on by wolves but I'm not exactly the target audience here so that doesn't matter much I guess. I can't really tell where the plot is going (she's definitely going to be pursuing the wolf but idk about the human side of affairs), but this may be a skill issue on my part. Solid work in general.

Thanks! How far did you read if I may ask?

Also, as the synopsis hints, there's a bit more to this particular wolf. :)
