Hello folks! May I have some feedback from the lovely people here? I will also do my best to review your stories if you post them in this thread.

The title of my story is 'The Way of the Shaman.' You can be as critical as you want. I will thank you if you do. Lord knows I must have missed out on a lot of things while I'm editing.

Synopsis:
It’s more than twenty years after the new millennium. Amid the rising skyscrapers, recent housing developments, public transport modernization programs, and new generation of influencers and vloggers, are constants in the Philippines’ society - the shamans.

In this alternate world, Filipino mythological creatures intermingle in peace with humans. A tiyanak is a child star. A sarimanok the mascot of a popular channel. A manananggal is a sought-after model. Even diwatas and sigbins are leaders of their own partylists.

But even in this highly inclusive world, there are those who tiptoe beyond the line - be it humans or mythological creatures. The shamans who wield sigla, also known as spiritual energy, are responsible for keeping the peace between the supernatural beings and humankind.

Within this chaotic setting, Billie, a tired, depressed young woman, tries to get back on her feet together with Puddle, the duwende. Maybe life in the country is not so peaceful after all?

Is it just me or does the cover look like they're just sitting on air? ?

It does kind of look like the elf-kid is standing with one foot on the bike rack and someone forgot to install a seat...

As for the chapter, it is kind of cool to see a folklore/mythology that is not either completely made-up for the story, or based on one of the Big Five (Slavic, Japanese, Chinese, Norse or Greco-Roman)

Lol, yeah, I agree. That aside, I also agree with your other point. I bet OP is cooking something real good.
