name: The Last Philosopher

author: NickfEast

genre: fantasy, attempted comedy

- book cover/book cover quality - [4/5]

at first glance, it seems simplistic. but it doesn't go off the topic of the title nor is it highly excessive. it's excellent as it is now, but in the future, consider adding more detail to it so it also tells more of a mini story of its own.

- the title and its ability to relate to the story - [5/5]

there isn't much to say on this part. It's also simplistic, but ties well with what the story is trying to tell. It simply is about a philosopher and while it also seems generic, it's not something too fancy. I can't say I've seen a book of the same name.

- the blurb - [5/5]

the blurb/description of the story is straight to the point. nothing too fancy nor does it seem like you're trying too hard. you managed to tell us what's going on without telling us too much. many people try and fail to get this right, so well done.

- the first few chapters - [5/5]

as you mentioned in the form, your book is attempted comedy. while i will say, heavy on the attempted, it is actually quite humorous. i think even the grimmest of genres should have a sprinkle of comedy here and there, so well done for taking that initiative.

it's a genre I'm not necessarily used to, so at first, it was a bit hard to read. however, your writing style kept me even the slightest bit interested. let's say the comedy for me started at the 'Richard, Long for Dick'. 

i doubt there is much to nag about actually. the flow of the book is maintained through each chapter and this is good because consistency is always key. 

- spag (spelling, punctuation and grammar) - [4/5]

is there even anything to correct? your spag is outstanding. great grammar skills and minimal to zero mistakes. the only thing i will say here though is the complexity of the sentences. your book itself is amazing and I'm sure you have a great story to tell with the layout of your planned plot but if the sentences are repetitively too complex, it, unfortunately, becomes a bore to read.

for example, in the opening sentence of Richard, Long for Dick, its at least two and a half lines long. that's not too bad, but its quite complex. in any other case, this wouldn't be a problem, but i did have to re-read it a couple times. ( hashtag embarrassing).

- uniqueness - [5/5]

your book has a lot of potential. you have a story to tell and you're doing just that. it's clear that it's something that's been planned out properly and i think that's a very admirable quality to have as a writer. when i say this, I'm especially highlighting the little maps you input at the top of the chapter to aid your descriptions of the settings.

your book is great quality as well. if you aren't already, consider having it published.

- overall: [28/30]

keep it up! ;)
