《Astral Reviews Vol. 2》Review 23- The Divinities of Navalok
Advertisement
Plot (10/10)
I really like to plot and what you have done with it. You have a unique plot for a wide array of audiences to view. It was good to see a unique idea in play.
Grammar (9/10)
There is a few minor errors here and there that I noticed but they are more errors I see untentionally. They don't still out much but I'm extremely sensitive to these kinds of things. I would just say through them through a system for missing punctuation.
Characters (10/10)
I see everything you need to have great chacters. I not only understand them but I see thier growth. They aren't just characters in a book but real people that you have brought to life. You have made dynamic characters for all to see.
Cover (9/10)
I like the cover overall. I would only suggest reducing the size of the badges you have. Your cover is amazing and you shouldn't let the awards you got take away from the main source of attention. The format is well done other than that.
Title (10/10)
For one, I can say nobody has the same title as you. Although you are using a mythology of a specific religion, I have yet to see many stories use Hindu mythology as a basis. It adds a new fresh flavor to the pot.
Detail (10/10)
The attention to detail is impeccable. I was able to feel the setting as if I was there. You invoke my senses with figurative language which is extremley important in the story's growth.
Originality (10/10)
I can honestly say although there is ideas of other stories at play, you have made something completely new. There is unique ideas that I haven't seen before and I looked forward to reading them. I was glad to see your story wasn't a generic one where everything was exactly guessed correctly.

Prologue/ Introduction(10/10)
There was a strong entrance into the book and it was done correctly. As a prologue or first chapter should encourage the reader to read more, you did that. I was able to continue reading and want to see more as it went on.
Writing Skills (10/10)
I can see the attention you payed to your writing. I see the sentence construction and diction is done very well. I can also say that your word choice for specific things is done well. The writing skills are amazing and if you can, add more figurative language. You want to have as much as you can because it brings the story to life more.
Overall story(10/10)
Sometimes when people introduce thier culture into a book, it doesn't quite turn out well. It's even worse when people write about other cultures and end up getting things wrong. The way you displayed everything in your writing was impeccable. I even looked up things so I could give the best possible review. I really liked the story overall.
Overall Score: 98 (A)

Just Don't Shoot the Quartermaster
Aliens are real! And monsters! But that's racist, don't call them that. And there's magic too! The life of humble, hard-working Carioca*¹² Rafael Barro is thrown into disarray when the interstellar Multi-Unity Alliance comes knocking. During the negotiations to take Earth in as a Protected Member-Planet for the glory of our AI overlords, the aliens ‘accidentally’ break the Veil that keeps the mythics protected from humanity’s knowledge, revealing the creatures of legend and myth that were hiding among us for millennia — from the doorman to global leaders. After a series of mishaps in his ever chaotic Brazil, our intrepid hero decides to join the Unity's Army, where he ends up as a inglorious… quartermaster. The Unity takes all recruits to make matters worse, including the mythics! And the cherry on the damn pie is Rafael Barro’s extra assignment: writing this historical first-hand report on the wonders of Earth’s diversity, the seamless adaptation of all its members, and on his gallant units’ first stellar expedition ever to defend another precious*³ world! Are we talking about the same planet? (Reader discretion is advised; Contains Graphic Language and Potentially Excessive Swearing) *¹ Carioca = demonym of someone from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. *² humble and/or hardworking Cariocas = not necessarily mythics, ordinary ones actually exist. *³ precious = inasmuch every living planet is precious. Editor's Note: Someone disable his permission to edit the draft on UnityDocs, please! Hello, I'm McKing and I aim to write an original story with elements I've never seen put together before. Feel free to point out any mistakes you see — I'm not a native speaker, so I'm sure a few will pass me by. Sci-fi; Humor; (Brazilian) Urban Fantasy; faint shades of LitRPG. **Be warned it has a bit of an (absurd) slice-of-life beginning though the story is being subtly (I hope) worked on and eventually shifts gears (a bit). I planned to say that from the beginning, but I forgot to add it.** I hope that you enjoy it and that I can grow as a writer with your contributions. No Fixed Update Schedule. My inspiration comes in bursts and so will the Chapters. Sorry if that displeases you (I love regular updates too), but I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Keep in mind that it is a work in progress and things can eventually change a bit - I'll try to always note the changes. Sorry for the bad cover, it was the best my sorry skills could do! I hope you enjoy it,Mcking

I do not own nor claim any sorts of rights to the incredible game Bethesda has created! I’m writing this for fun. [WARNING!!: Contains beheadings, backstabbings, murders, lots of gore, mild swearing, drugs, and the use of alcohol. Content may not be suitable for all audiences.] This is my first book, so please don’t judge the grammar too harshly. I’m leaving all the editing for when it’s done anyway. Note: I am writing on Webnovel, Scribble Hub, and Royal Road. IMPORTANT!!: I will be working mainly with the user Lyric_Drake. I give credit to them, because they have helped develop the story and what will come afterwards. They also helped with lore and character design. And they came up with the title! So great job Lyric_Drake, and thank you!
