My feedbacks mean no offense to the author and it's story. These are solely intended for the betterment of your work. You may find some words offending, so feel free to pm me for any concerns. I am only trying to point out your mistake based on my perspectives.
This contains spoilers, Beware.
Typos and errors ahead as well.
▪ The title was really unique, and catchy for me, wala pa akong nakikitang may ganitong title na kaparehas mo. Also, good job for not capitalizing the word 'the' in your title. All I could say is, simple yet good!
▪ the cover was also beautiful, kitang-kita at mababasa talaga ang title. Though for me, it is not catchy enough since the genre of your story is teen fiction. Parang general fiction lang ang nakita kong vibes sa cover. It was sort of, lacking the main genre of the story.
The way you delivered the blurb was really nice. And it actually made me curious of why is Jack like that towards Calliope? The way you leave some questions in the blurb pushed me to read the story and know why does Jack treat Cal like that.
▪ You said that the genre of your story is teen fiction, well of course it is since the characters are still students. Though I think the story would fit in the romance story since nagpo-focus siya kina Jack at Cal.
▪ I also kinda find the plot cliche but it's good, the way you narrate their thoughts and feelings, excellent I must say!
▪ You described the characters well in the story, especially the mains. They were so vivid to imagine.
▪ My first impression of her was just a normal girl who focuses on studying, but later on, will fall in love with the male lead. I honestly like her personality, I could literally relate some things to her. Nagustuhan ko rin ang pagiging palabiro niya, at close sa mga kaibigan niya, namely Sof and Ham.

▪ Since it was all Cal's perspective, hindi ko alam kung bakit talaga ganoon ang pakikitungo niya kay Cal. Ang alam ko lang is cold and flat-faced siya pagdating kay Cal. Na-imagine ko rin talaga kung ano ang itsura niya thanks to Cal.
▪ I was okay with Val, he is very protective when it comes to his sister, Cal. He was my ideal brother!
▪ My only concern is, medyo nakulangan lang ako ng pagkaka-introduce and describe sa mga kaibigan niya. Though they are not the main, it is important to describe and introduce them.
▪ Medyo nalilito lang kasi ako sa mga voice nila. Parang pare-parehas lang silang lahat ng tone and rhythm of the voice kaya naguguluhan ako kung sino ang nagsasalita.
Use "rin" if the word before it ends in a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) or a consonant that sounds like a vowel - "w" and "y". For the other letters, use "din".
▪ The reason for "w" and "y" is because they can produce sounds like the vowels "u" and "i", respectively, as word endings. For example, "araw" may sound like "arau" and "bahay" may sound like "bahai".
❌ palang
✔ pa lang
❌ na lang
✔ na lang
▪ When we are using the words nag, pag, and mag, + the english word, do not forget to use dash (-). (From what I know)
❌ magsosorry
✔ magso-sorry
❌ magthank you
✔ mag-thank you
❌ magjejet ski
✔ magje-jet ski
▪ Also the action, and dialogue tags. Nakakaligtaan lang ito minsan sa ibang chapter. We use period (.) If the sentence is indicating an action of the character. And comma (,) if it's only a dialogue. We could use exclamation points, question marks, et cetera in both tags.
▪ I like the way how you shift from english, to tagalog. I could also see how you are fluent in english. And you used formalities in writing every chapter kaya hindi boring basahin ang kada chapters since kaabang-abang sila.

▪ I've noticed that you also used the five senses when it comes to writing the setting if the story, it seems so fresh and very imaginable.
> Your story has great potential! Just take time to edit the small errors so that readers could see how hardworking you are when writing every chapters.
Ken'nichiwa! Congratulations, your story really reached my liking! I was at awe when I'm ready every chapter. It's very joyous and splendid!
Kindly pm me after on my main account so we could discuss more about this.
Again, thank you for letting me criticize your story although I didn't see any major errors as such. If you have concerns regarding this critique, kindly pm me so I would know.
Continue shining, and writing until you've embraced the precious and luminous future that's waiting for you.
Thank u!

Grinning Enigma
Freddy is a very bad boy. Meets some people that know what he did. He tries to escape punishment, makes it [Redacted]. Freddy might be a mass-murdering troll, but he isn’t a bad person, right? Right? Disclaimer: This is not an instruction manual. If you want to be a horrible human being, go figure it out yourself. Autopsy: Writing this story gave me some degree of insight into how much I've managed to fuck up my own personality by suppressing basic needs. Now I hate myself even more. It started as a story where the MC was supposed to be a blend of the NZ-land shooter and other cancerous personalities. That way I wouldn't feel bad about torturing him. Instead I ended up witnessing all the worst aspects of my own personality, or lack thereof. I'm a horrid person, I can't even bring myself to do what's the only right thing at this point.

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)
