"The Sun of the Wolf"

By: Special-nay

 

Reviewer: Gtoprenaissance

 

 

 

 

 

 

1-Title: “The Sun of the Wolf” is an interesting title, a bit mysterious and intriguing. It exhibits a puzzling sort of fantasy, so the readers may have something to work with from the beginning, like an enigmatic introduction, instead of the common dramatic, theatrical titles.

Rating: [10/10].

 

2-Description/Foreword: The description was very brief but in a creative way, it draws attention from the characters to the general theme of the story. It specifically declares the outlandish feel to the story rather than surprising the readers with unspecified fantasy. There’s not much to be said here, I really like it.

Rating: [10/10].

 

3-Plot: The very first element I’ve noticed is the social difference between the two characters, which can be a tricky matter considering it is a common theme in literature. The layout of the introduction is clever, and might I point out the obvious, the writing style is tremendously elegant, almost too elegant to be portrayed as a three-chapter story (Please consider writing more, you’re brilliant). One thing I’d like to point out as a start is the repetitive mention of multiple events and ranks which some readers might find difficulty in understanding. For example, when mentioning a rank of some sort, make sure to carefully illustrate the prominent task or mission of said occupier.

Like, “The Duke of so and so, has been keeping an unmerciful eye on his province…” and “The kings-guard, whose wrathful sense of leadership nominated him as the enemy’s biggest threat.” Phrases like that help engrave the name and position of a character in the readers’ minds.

The first major event is supposedly the battle between the houses. A brief background information would have supplied this event with a grander importance because it was introduced in a rush, which I think is disappointing because the idea behind the plot itself is incredible and creative; I’ve never read anything like it on this platform. Regarding the houses, the introduction was brief, yet adequate, which I salute you for. You should consider doing the same regarding the major plot points, such as first encounters or conflicts.

There’s really not much to be said here, you’ve put my stories and I to shame. I can tell that your story w

Chapter 81: Hello, thank you so much for taking your time in writing this very thorough review! There is a lot that I can learn from this that would help me improve not only for this particular story but for my writing in general as well. The discussion on the story's setting and how to deliver the characters' situation and thoughts to the reader are pointers that I needed to hear. Thank you for also giving me clear examples of those pointers. I'll read the review over and over, and make sure I improve from this.

I've credited the shop in my foreword already. Again, thank you and take care!

Chapter 78: i love how you spelled out every detail on where the goods and bads in the story as well as what kind of improvements i can work on. well, especially on the characterization and the plot! and yeah i never thought i didn't do proper character introduction since im too focused on the haha and when you mentioned that i did tend to leave the rest of imaginations to the readers! i'm actually very excited to include more of what's happening in the surrounding of the characters and to show more of their personalities and develop their characterization (this is going to be tough since i think my skills are lacked in this area)

i really appreciate the amount of information written in this thorough, super insightful and honest review on my story! thank you so much for taking the time to read and give me feedback!😍

Thank you! I read the whole thing and I took notes on how I can further improve my writing. There's a lot to learn and I'm glad I requested from you. I didn't even know what a Character Cluster is! I would love to talk more about writing with you, but I do not know if you're busy or not. This is just a hobby of mine that I picked up and am trying to hone (A measly med student here). I would be interested in what I could further do to improve (except read books 'cause I do that daily). On another note, my favorite book is called "The Lies of Locke Lamora". What's yours? Agh, I've been rambling. I better stop. Once again, I thank you for your work, and as per the rules, I gave credits in the Foreword.

Happy Holidays!
