Please guide me through my first novel!

[GetThat]

Hey there!

So far, this is my first novel. It needs a lot of work and sure there are a lot of mistakes.

Any constructive criticism is welcome and helping through linking an article or any media form that can help with improving is really appreciated.

Thanks in advance everyone!

I've written you a substantive comment on your first chapter. I hope you find it helpful. =)

Oh, I forgot to add this. You might want to ask for first chapter feedback in this thread: https://forum.scribblehub.com/threads/free-first-chapter-feedback.4018/

Be warned that this reviewer is generally quite blunt, but the advice is usually in-depth and useful. I do caution you, however, about listening too much to criticism: It can be really discouraging, for one thing, and for another thing, a reader might not "get" what you're trying to do as a writer. So please take any all criticism with a grain of salt and use your own judgement on whether it's worth listening to or not. =)

Good luck with the rest of your writing endeavors! =)

The synopsis goes over my head. I have no idea what the story will be about. Does the familial dynamics make an appearance? Is it generic with some feels? Was that a prompt and the mother and sister will be ignored after he gets isekai'd? How does the title related to the story?

I see the tags mention [non-human protagonist]; how about a spoiler/hint as to what? Is the betrayal before or after being isekai'd?

The title is connected to the story strongly; it just didn't make an appearance yet. And the betrayal was supposed to be after getting isekai'd. Though, I may remove it since it will not be present anymore. I'm planning to write a complete draft first, then revise it and publish it along the way.
