[Open for Swaps] - That One Isekai
#1
Hello,
I'm looking to do some review swaps for my new story, That One Isekai. It's a madcap satire of all of the worst Isekai, LitRPG, and anime tropes, and has a title so long that I have to put it at the start of every chapter, since it won't fit in the actual title field.
If you like the sound of a story that has sicknasty skateboard tricks, a nihilistic hedonist doggirl, and an entire chapter dedicated to a 5000+ word [Artes Catalogue] including Culinary Artes, Sword Artes, Actuarial Artes, and Nekomancy Artes, then let me know!
As far as what kind of stories I'm looking for, I'm open to mostly anything. I'm not a huge fan of hardcore Cultivation, and I'm mostly just looking for well-written stories. I tend to rate on the lenient side, and if I have any specific pointers or critiques, I can message you to discuss it first.
10k words in my story is roughly up to ch. 7 (Season 1, Ep. 7). Thanks in advance!

Yes to both! I'll read yours and review it once you finish with mine.

This sounds like a story I definitely want to swap with after I get through my current review swap backlog.

Good idea, my story is in my signature, 10k should be the first three chapters

Thanks for the review! Not sure if you were just reviewing to review or if you wanted to swap, but if it was the latter, I think RR still requires 10k words read before doing a review swap, which should be about chapter 7 in my story. If you wanted to update your review once you've gotten to 10k words in your story, let me know, and I'd be happy to do a swap with you as well!

So far my queue is:
Duty, empty dreams, and trying not to become a monster by Rookie12 [DONE]
I Suck At Titles by Ellen Taylor [DONE]
Daggers, Dames, and Demons by VRHolmes
The Twilight Zone by hanami574 [DONE]
Gemstroke: Dream Garden by Max Lake Enix [DONE]
I Got Trapped In a Fantasy World As A Literal Anime Girl And I'm Really Not Taking It Well by PizzaPizza [DONE]
Dreamland by nerodotus [DONE]
If other people are interested, they can still post their stories, but they'll be queued until I can get through the above.
The actual reviews will be fair and will touch on what your stories do well and what needs a bit more polish (if anything). However, if you would like me to kick your ass, please send me a private message after I review your work and say "Be Brutal", and I'd be happy to absolutely tear apart every flaw of your work, if that's the kind of tough love you'd like.
Thanks!

I prefer to avoid reviewing fanfic as a general rule. I also know nothing about the band, so I'm not sure that I'd be the right target audience.
But, if you can give me an enticing 3-sentence elevator pitch, I might bite.

Hey Mezzo! Just got to 10k words, and I'll make sure to redo my review. I'm so new to RR I wasn't sure how to really do a review swap tbh! If you're willing to do one for one, my 10k lands in chapter 6!

Sounds good! I've still got to finish up a few from my last batch, but I'll open it up again here in a bit. 10k words for my story is about chapter 7. If you want to keep it a regular review or do advanced, I'll match whatever type you do.
