A great story with an amazing world! I love the main character, she has a clear personality, motives and flaws. I love how you've both compared and contrasted between the training facility and the orphanage, and I also like how you're pushing the character out of her comfort zone. However, a lot of the information about the world and the species inhabiting them is given to the audience in large chunks - info dumped to be informal. I would think about more interesting ways to share the really creative details you've placed in the world!

FEEDBACK;
THE NAME IS SO CATCHY, EVERY READER WOULD BE CURIOUS OF WHAT DOES THIS WORD MEANS OR WHAT DOES THIS BOOK ALL ABOUT. HONESTLY, I MYSELF TOO, FIND THIS TITLE SO MYSTERIOUS THAT MAKES ME REALLY THINK SO HARD. THE WORD ITSELF IS MYSTERIOUS, HOW MUCH MORE THE ENTIRE STORY? THAT IS WHY I HAVE READ THE ENTIRE BOOK 1 TO FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTEXT AND THE MESSAGE IT TELLS TO US READERS. I DIDN'T GAVE A PERFECT SCORE WITH THE COVER BECAUSE HONESTLY FOR ME, IT IS PLAIN AND FOR THE DESCRIPTION, I AM NOT SATISTIED BECAUSE I AM LOOKING FOR A MUCH DEEPER MEANING OF THE WORD ORYTRON AND THE INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT ABOUT THE STORY OR WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT. HOWEVER THE CHARACTERS ARE PERFECTLY FIT TO THE STORY AS WELL AS THE WRITING STYLE, I LIKE IT. IF YOU LOVE READING CELESTIAL STORIES I SUGGEST THIS ONE AND FOR THE AUTHOR, KEEP ON WRITING AND KEEP ON INTRODUCING US TO THE CELESTIAL WORLD, GOOD JOB AND CONGRATS. I will support you all throughout.

Although your grammar and structure is fairly good, it is clear that a lack of research has gone into this story. The various descriptions of the protagonist disease almost always contradict each other, and it doesn't seem plausible. The plot doesn't appear to have a clear direction, and although I only read the first five chapters, the characters don't appear to be anything more than stereotypes.

FEEDBACKS;
From the title itself, I can say that it seeks attention especially its cover which I find simple yet elegant. But, I didn't found any short description about the story because it directly started with an aesthetic photo of the names of the characters but nevertheless, the named fits to the attitude and behaviour needed to portrayed by the characters. I love how the story was written, the words that was used by the author are not that difficult to read and comprehend that is why it is so easy to understand the flow of the story and what the author wants to tell to its readers. So, over all the story is good and I suggest to all the readers out there, read this book because you will surely love it. To the author, keep on writing beautiful stories. I will support you all throughout.

I love world you've created and the characters within it, it's a super interesting concept that I can tell you've thought through. However it could have been improved if you included more emotion and allowed the reader to come to their own conclusions, instead of just stating all the information relevant to the world.

FEEDBACK;
I was astonished upon reading the description of the story. I was not expecting that the title has so much unto it. I thought it was just a simple two words with a simple meaning but I was wrong. As I go beyond the chapters I have loved how the author narrates every single details. I felt like five chapters are not enough that is why I've read beyond the given chapters to be read of. The story was almost perfect except the cover, I have found it not so catchy and somewhat not suitable for the title. And speaking of title, it's so beautiful and the story is so much more than what I have expected. So all in all, the story is great and I can say that this piece might serve as an eye-opener for those aspiring scientist and is a great book to be read of by those who loves reading Science Fiction. For the author, you did a great job on writing such a wonderful story, keep it up. I will support you all throughout.

First of all, I really like your title and book cover. Para sa akin, akmang-akma siya sa genre nitong story at ang lakas maka-curious ng title. Siyempre, ito ang pinaka-hinahanap ko sa story, ang maku-curious ako sa title pa lang. Ang suggestion ko lang sa book cover ay medyo lakihan mo ang font size ng title mo at ang subtitle po ay hindi ko gaanong mabasa, palitan niyo po ng mas clear na color na nababasa sa mga dark backgrounds.

Pagdating sa blurb, nawala 'yong anticipation ko. Hindi effective 'yong nailagay mong blurb, pwede mo pa siyang i-revise kung saan mas maku-curious ang mambabasa. I like zombies, kaya no'ng nabasa ko 'yong blurb ay medyo tagilid. Iyon na kasi ang pangkaraniwan kong nababasa sa ibang story.

Characters, Felis, I love how mysterious he is. Kaso, hindi ko nagustuhan ang naging behaviour niya sa isang guro. Pero, the last part, sa chapter 5, feel ko nadurog puso ko. Nando'n 'yong eagerness, 'yong love, 'yong regret niya eh. And boy, he is damn crying. Boys doesn't always show their weakness and tears to anyone kaya nga parang hinahaplos ang puso ko. Tho, he isn't perfect character but at least related ang personality niya sa reality. And that's commendable.

Lastly, I really love your writing style. Kahit na may napansin akong typo's, mga awkward constructions of sentences, mas marami ang comma hindi naman iyon naging hadlang sa magandang narration mo sa story. Since may action scene ang nangyari, kailangan talaga maging detailed tayo sa pagna-narrate, at nagawa mo naman 'yon. Kaso, sa sobrang focus natin sa ganito, may tendency na nauulit natin ang mga terminong ginamit. Mga pangungusap na may kapareho namang thought sa sinundan nitong pangungusap. Siguro, iwas lang sa mga redundant na pagna-narrate.

Hi there, author! First of all, I want to congratulate you for a job well done! I know how hard it is to write, concoct and build ideas, that's why pat yourself on your shoulders for being able to create such story! I really like that you research a lot of terms and scientific names, for this book to be believable. Alam ko na mahirap ito and it requires effort and time to do that kaya congratulations. You got a plot and an idea on how your story will pan out which is commendable, knowing how hard it is to write sci-fi stories. All in all, kudos to your work and I hope you still continue to write stories! Goodluck and God Bless.

The way you perceive things can be your strength. Maganda na may moral lesson ang isang story. In that way kasi, may sense kung bakit ka nagsusulat. Not just for entertaining your readers but also learning from you is very remarkable.

Book cover, although the font style for the title is readable, I don't think the portrayer is relevant to the story. I mean I am expecting more science fiction vibes but I couldn't get it. Siguro, doon ka pumalya. But, since kaunti pa lang nababasa ko, it's early to judge you for that.

Blurb/description: I love your description. Precisely, hindi masyadong nagbibigay ng details to the exact story content and in that way, it catches my attention.

Characters - I love that you give twist to your characters. Not a typical one. Brilliant but chooses to be a criminal. Not just for satisfaction of committing crimes but voicing out her owned opinions about the system in their world. I love how you crafted Maria. And I am really looking forward to know the guy she just met disguising as Ortega. Also, this seems to be unique for me, your characters and the story plot. Now, I am expecting more.

Lastly, your writing style. For me, saying all in a science fiction story is too boring. Let your readers discovered what the character feels, seen, heard, felt, etc. What I mean is, show don't tell. May ilang technicalities din akong napansin, which is your dialogue tags and din/rin, ditto/rito, doon/roon application. I just pointed it out but I know, napansin din 'yon ng iba. I don't know if nasabi na ng ibang judge ito kaya hindi ko na e-explain. Message me na lang if they didn't. Also, some of your English are off. Use grammarly to correct your tenses and preposition. Tho, I am clearly not good at English but I used that app to correct me grammatically.

Hi there, magnificent writer! Una sa lahat, gusto kong i-congratulate ka for being able to pull off this kind of book. Your plot kind of reminds me a YA Dsytopian books that I've been reading and that's a compliment actually, since at such a young age, you are able to create and build a very complex world of imagination. I like your story as it starts off with a moving scene which triggers the readers to be curious about your book. Other than that, I like your story and I hope you continue on writing! Goodluck and God Bless!

The title is common, for me. Siguro dahil sa university. But, if you will give an interesting title to a story, might as well use, kung ano ang pinaka nakaka-curious sa story mo. Like for example, the name of the cure to immune system disease. Example lang naman. Book cover is very remarkable. Nando'n na kung sino-sino ang karakters. Clean and readable ang text and it is giving vibes that there is some action pack in your story.

Blurb, medyo tumagilid. Sabi nga nila, if you want to attract readers, give them a taste of your story. Some sort of appetizer to be exact. Huwag ilahad lahat nawawala kasi 'yong anticipation ng mambabasa sa kwento.

I want to commend you for building up good characters. I mean hindi mo sila gaanong ipinakilala sa mismong story, but you used another way, sa may book cover. Hindi ko lang sure kung acceptable ang gano'n karaming characters in a story na nasa book cover. If they aren't acceptable, used a separate part kung saan mo ilalagay ang picture nila. And choose your main character to be in your book cover.

Originality, nang basahin ko ang story mo, some sort of scenes from the anime I watched played. From highschool of the dead and kabaneri: the iron fortress, not quite sure sa spelling. If it's inspired from that, and mentioned it, put a part for disclaimer or note, parang gano'n hehe.

Since action pack, hindi ako nauhaw sa vivid narration and description. Natural na natural ang way ng pagna-narrate mo na siyang nagpahanga sa akin. May ilang technicalities and typo's akong napansin. Hindi rin siya boring basahin. Nag-enjoy nga akong basahin, dahil siguro, nai-imagine ko mismo na nando'n din ako sa story at nanonood sa nangyayari sa kanila.

Hi there, awesome writer! First of all, I want to congratulate you for being able to create such a wonderful story! Alam ko kung gaano kahirap gumawa ng libro lalo na't sci-fi ang genre mo kaya pat yourself on your shoulders for a job well done! First thing I have noticed, I suggest you change your book cover to a more appealing and intriguing visual aesthetics that will persuade readers to read your stories. Second, I have noticed the inconsistency of punctuation marks in your dialogue tags and I suggest you furtively look into that. Third, I like zombies so that's a plus. Other than that, all in all, I like the idea of your story. So, keep it up and I hope you continue to write stories that will inspire other people! Kudos! God Bless and Good Luck to you!

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! YOUR CERTIFICATES AND LOGOS ARE ON THE WAY.❤️❤️
