I'll trade reviews with you!
#1
I'd love to read more of your stories, and I need more reviews on mine, hence the thread.
There are a few things that you should probably know, though:
-I will not read anything with explicit sexual content, gay romances, gender bender, harem, or anything that goes against my personal beliefs. I'm sorry about being so strict, but I will only go so far. I have the right to back out if necessary.
-If you would like to review mine, that would be great, you can find it in my signiture. But if you don't, no problem, I'll review your story anyway.
-When replying, please specify what you want the review to be centered on, be it your characters, motivations, plot, or whatever. I'll do the general review style (going through style, grammar, story, character, and overall scores), but specifications would be nice so that I can know what to look out for.
Looking forwards to reading your book!

Just wanted to bump this and let y'all know that I'm still here. I didn't review Lily's because (as I explained in a private message) some of the things in there didn't sit well with my beliefs. But I'd love to review any of yours. :)

What do you mean by the term Litrpg romance?
Is that when the focus is on slice of life romance in litrpg, or that the MC has a love interest at all?
I'm about to try yours out, but don't feel obligated to read trough mine if it conflicts with your convictions.
My MC has a non human love interest, although I have foregone to do any explicit sexual content. I just suck at writing it and would rather score less on the cringeometer, than earn brownie points for kinky sex. It's also not in the forefront of the story, since her role is to strengheten the MC, and not be a fanservice object.

here's mine. It does contain sexual stuff though but its used as a plot point and very scarce. I even had a review tell me to NOT use the SC tag because it almost doesn't exist. I'll review you even if you don't review mine ^^

Okay, I have to apologize, because that was a really dumb typo that I really didn't mean to type. What I meant was 'LGTP romances or gay romances'. So that was my mistake and I'm sorry for any confusion it may have caused.

When you first asked I thought you didn’t quite have enough for a full review. I’ve been following it now I think you do, so I’ll try to get one done today or tomorrow.
Ironically I didn’t have anything sexually explicit in the story when I first replied I was game, but now I do. Those sections of my story are clearly demarcated, can be skipped, and have PG summaries so that anyone who would find them objectionable can continue on the narrative.
I always appreciate the review swap, but don’t feel compelled if you feel it would be upsetting or violate any personal convictions.

Thank you so much, Volos, that would be really good. I'd love to review your novel, but I don't think I can conciously read that one part, so if you tell me which chapter it's in, I'll read it up to that part.

Chapter 27, but you can’t miss the warnings. There’s another somewhat objectionable section in an earlier chapter, abuse rather than something clearly sexual, but again there are clear warnings in the pre chapter notes (you won’t be able to miss it and read by accident). My design is to deal with misogyny, abuse, and the tendency of men to overstep when in great power, not traumatize readers with obscene for the sake of being up obscene.
It was one of the things my wife actually pointed out to me when we started looking at a few of these light novels together. There’s a horrible levity and disregard given towards what is clearly sexual abuse in a large number of these—they’re just toned down and with comical anecdotes that make them easier to swallow. Thus, one of my initial plans with the work was to show what would an un-whitewashed version of such abuse look like. It’s not a cornerstone of the work, and a little dab will do you, but it is one of the aspects I struggled with the most.
I just double checked, the other chapter is 19. You should feel fine reading 19 up until the asterism. I don’t really know that you would find the content objectionable to your person, though most should find the actions within the narrative objectionable, but I would just as soon stay on the safe side.

Thank you for letting me know all of this, it's really clear that you know what you're doing and have given this a lot of thought. I'll read up to chapter twenty six, but if I'm not up to reading chapter nineteen, I'll let you know and review anyway. Your story looks amazing- I'm looking forwards to it!

Hi God_is_Good,
I'd be interested in trading reviews if you have time in the future. I've bookmarked your story for later reading and should be able to get to it in the next week or so.
I've read your concerns above and fully understand if a trade review is something you might not be willing to do. I respect your beliefs and limitations that you've set in place. I've glimpsed your story and don't see anything that would set off any of my convictions, but I understand if something in my story might do so for you. If you decide my story isn't for you or might offend in any way, please let me know. I'll leave a supportive anon-star review if you decide a detailed review trade isn't worthwhile.
The story I have is: The Vorrgistadt Saga.
The good, the bad, and the comparative elements (are within the spoiler tag).
I look forwards to reading Terminal, and hope you can find something non-objectionable in my own work.
Thank you for your time.

Wow, thank you for the time to write all of that out, your story looks fabulous. I understand your concerns, and thank you so much for being so upfront with them, I find it really helpful to be prepared from the beginning. I have several books that I'm trying to read right now, but I hope it won't be more than a week before I can get your review done. I will focus on those details and get that to you ASAP.

Hey, just finished reading and reviewing Terminal. I set out my honest thoughts about the story in my review, as well as areas I thought could use improvement. If you'd prefer that I take it down, just let me know.

God_is_Good,
Thank you so much for the amazing and gracious review of my story. It really means a lot that you gave it a read and found it worthwhile. I hope there wasn't anything objectionable in it despite some of the themes I mentioned above.
I posted up the review for Terminal a few days ago. I hope it does your story justice and brings in more readers for you. Your story deserves all the exposure it can get. Thank you for writing such a profound and emotional story. Your story is very solid. The only thing I can think to mention is just one more sweeping revision to catch just a handful of misspellings and one or two fiddly sentences. You've set a high standard with your grammar, your spelling, and the overall tone of your work. I'll be keeping up on upcoming chapters as you go.
If ever I can provide anything in the future, just let me know. Thanks, again.

You are definitely welcome, it was my pleasure! Your story was fantastic and I look forwards to reading more of it in the future. To be honest, your review was probably my favorite review that anyone has ever given on my novel. I think you're idea of what the story is about and the themes present in each chapter is really accurate. I really enjoyed the way that you reviewed it, especially for my own novel, not just doing the usual run through (which I did) of style, story, grammar, and character, but really taking the time to examine what the story is really about. Thank you so much for your time and honest review, it really does mean a lot.
