《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'What We Left Behind' by stxrkissed

In this Science-Fiction story, a girl called Fei Hong leaves Earth behind with her grandmother; the planet has been doing badly for a while, and Fei Hong wants try and start a better life at a planet called Erisua, where there are more opportunities for her. However, when a deadly virus that had already taken its root on Earth reaches Erisua too, our heroine finds herself threatened.
I'm always a bit sceptical about stories set in space. I guess it's a matter of taste, but I seem to like the idea of stories set in space better than actual stories set in space (if that makes sense). I thought the story started off a little slow, but when the virus became apparent, I found myself growing more interested! The plot takes some getting used to, but I feel like the readers will be pleasantly surprised.
I liked the diversity of the few characters I've been introduced to, and they feel well-rounded. It will be nice to see how they develop, and I hope their interactions will continue to feel authentic.
The GPS is all okay, and I like the style in which the story is written, though the vocabulary, in my opinion, edges on the very thin line between 'well-thought out' and 'downright pretentious'. No offense to the people reading this, but if any of you makes me read the term 'sun-kissed' again, I will spontaneously transform into the Duolingo Owl and carry out a triple homicide. No pressure, just a warning in advance.
All in all, a very decent and interesting story. Nice job!

Summoned As A Fake Hero: Why Am I A Demon Lord Now?
“I'm cold and hungry.” That single thought of hers ignited the beginning. The beginning of what, you ask? Haha, how innocent. She was great— No, no, no, that was an insult to the utter majesty she possesses. She is perfection itself; academics, beauty, ability, she had them. Yet perfection has problems in and of itself; not even she can escape the cruel irony of life. That's when things take an odd twist. On a fateful day, she and her classmates transferred over to another world! A tale as old as time itself, no? It was the stereotypical setting; the king and his knights welcomed the bewildered heroes in a grand room. Unlike her companions, she was an exception— She was starving, furious, and observant. Who wouldn't be? But their objectives were clear; slay some form of a "Demon Lord". Somehow, whilst on her quest for knowledge, she obtains the privilege of obtaining power that causes the collapse of the relationship between her and the kingdom, leading to the chaotic aftermath of a disaster. A vendetta forms inside of her; one that would shake the world to its core ... "How unsightly." Who is she? What are these terms? Why is this happening? How will she squash the balance of power? Questions upon questions. Simply read to understand What to expect; > Hunger and thirst for the flesh and blood of the innocent (Light-hearted 'eating' scenes.) > A fantasy world which is basically a cut-out of Europe but with more fantasy > Working in the fantasy version of Germany (someday, in the later chapters) > Many cliff-hangers >Gore >Blood >Some more blood > Dungeons > Cutout HRE Also available on;- (Webnovel) https://www.webnovel.com/book/unsightly-gluttony_21831197806131605###- (ScribbleHub) https://www.scribblehub.com/series/396385/unsightly-gluttony-revised/

The Cosmic and the Fair
When magic comes crashing into the world, humans are swept away. When they come trickling back, they are changed. Many of them have been transformed into elves, dwarves, trolls... and now one succubus. Magic is wondrous, dangerous, and inextricably linked to all living things. But succubi have to take it from other people, and for a succubus dropped far away from any communities big enough to sustain her, that's a problem. Luckily for Persephone Evans, she's got help. She has a fancy unique class and a companion. But both gifts come with strings attached, and why did she have to teach the succubus on her shoulder what 'consent' means? This is my first story! Note: The prologue differs wildly in tone from the rest of the story. I'm playing it safe on the tags. I don't think the story really deserves the profanity or gore content warnings, but the main character does swear and get hurt. That said, the main character is a succubus. Sexual content is a given.
