(Note: No one’s required to read this portion, but I’ve got a massive penchant for analyzing things. This is especially true and helpful since breaking things down can help me as a writer.)
The novel’s major flaws explained further:
1.) [The barely-there connection between Jett Harland and the readers.]
Did you ever notice that you may have felt more towards Ren Hille than the main male lead, Jett Harland?
Sure, those feelings may not have been positive for most of you. Most likely, they were feelings of annoyance, rage, anger, or disgust. However, it’s undeniable that Ren has most likely left a more significant impression on you than Jett ever has.
Perhaps, at the time, you didn’t overthink about it—but there is indeed a reason for that.
Even though Jett has been very vocal, open, trustworthy, and honest, it probably still felt very lacking.
He’s as impressionable as a thick, dull-colored wall. A wall that no one can see past or through.
While I tried to be more descriptive about his actions, there was still an absence when it came to the emotional component of it all.
I mention this as it’s crucial for my readers to feel immersed in the story.
It’s probably why I did not end up writing his POV yet. I, myself, felt like I didn’t get to know him enough either. Ironically, that’s coming from the one writing it! ME! … Haha. 🙂
‘Aight! Onto the next one!

2.) [IMO, Chapter 1~10 was unbearably slow. Despite my clear intention to avoid this, most of those chapters STILL felt like they were full of info dumps!]
Yeaaaahhh, I know! These ten chapters were the worst. I know it’s what deterred others from finishing this already short novel. Guys, you’ve no idea how badly I wanted to fix this—but I didn’t want to spare the time to do so back then.
Anyway, I want to redo the first ten chapters and make it flow a whole lot better. I do want to add better transitions into the rest of the story as well.
Oh! And for the sake of transparency, I don’t plan to increase the polished version’s length substantially. The original (the one that’s uploaded here in WN) is already around 43k+ words. It’s just not meant to be a super long novel. Nor have I ever felt compelled to write for one story for too long.
This author of yours has severe ADHD, and if I get bored as I’m writing my novel… that’d… be… uh… bad—very, very, VERY bad! LOL! Good luck ever seeing the completed version from me, hahaha!

3.) Uhhh… I completely forgot what my third point was. Oops. LOL! I think I’ve at least made sure to list all the major flaws. Of course, if there’s anything else I could think of in the meantime, I’d make sure to correct it myself right away.
