Monillas: A Human Garbage

I love the amount of details during the gamble. Even though it took a few chapters to cover. But I think it's important to the story plot such that it adds a realistic point of view of what makes us human. Human by nature are curious creature, but we are also very greedy. Only a few are able to control that. I love how the author shows the danger of wanting more (greed) using gambling as the beginning centerpiece to the story. While reading, I feel the emotional and physical toil that jose feel. It's very personal. Yes, even if you have a job it's doesn't guarantee one's success. As for boss yanlei, damn, I wanna smack so bad! I really hate him! The author did a good job in making his character (thump up) However, with the main character being Allaine Monillas I feel like not much of him is being shown yet. But the first few chapters so far does set a good foundation (setting) for the plot. Will be expecting more of him in the next coming chapters.

(￣▽￣)"..........Read it......that's all I can say....................................................................................................

The author's description of the scenes were splendid!
It was a good read, I am instantly hooked in cahapter one!
As a fellow country men, I really know what the author tells.
Hope you will check my book called Lumia: Other World and leave a review!

The book tells about the reality of life........ The struggle of people living in abject poverty.......... I commend the main character's struggle for freedom from such a depressing life......... Honestly I'm really liking this book. Good job author

First of all, hello fellow Filipino writer! You made a very realistic and vivid world here. The plotline is intriguing. This story is one of those that stood out to me the most on this website. It's not a crowd follower in a way that it doesn't center around lavish livings and romantic endeavors. It depicts reality, and has a well-written interaction between the characters. Overall, it's a gem of a work.

You deserve a five-star author, the story is so realistic about a teenager struggling in poverty and how desperate he is to overcome it, you are truly a commendable writer, I don't usually read this kind of stories but this one was truly touching because this is the reality about the demon called money. I am glad I found this one. And this tells so much about the Filipino culture too. In my country, there are people who live like that and hope you will grant us with more chapters!

This story was definitely interesting, but I feel like there needs to be some work on the pacing.

The chapters are a little too short imo and the overall story progression feels very slow.

I feel like before we were going into such a long arc we should have spent more time with the original setting.

A lot of the initial flare kinda got lost. I wanna go back to who I assume was the mc and continue his story.

Also (and this is very personal...) I'm not that into gambling so a lot of the future chapters kinda lost me.

THAT SAID!!! I do feel this is very well written and that the characters are well developed and charming to follow. I just wish the direction went somewhere different, or at the very least went somehwere faster.

The novel is from the psychological type, just my cup of tea. The author spends time to unravel concepts and explain how "misfortune" accumulates in one's life - which also can expand beyond and catch in its web other victims. One can think of consequentialism. This is a very realistic story. People may see it as slow-paced, but I'd like to say that good stuff comes slow. (;

The only thing I dislike is the overuse of exclamation marks.
