    Hi everyone, I'm the author of True Essence.

    I'll use this review to specify what my goals are with this novel.

    First of all, this is my first novel, so bear with me a little bit :)

    Let's follow the review grading.

    Writing Quality 3/5 : It's the best I can do right now but I'm trying to improve myself day by day. I'm open to criticism, if you think it sucks, please tell me why, so I can try to fix it.

    Stability of Updates 5/5 : Well, till now I never failed to post at least one charpter a day :) , I plan to post more as I get more used to it.

    Story Development 3/5 : There's almost nothing right now, but I have some ideas in store. I hope you like it.

    Character Design 5/5 : I like the main characters vey much, there's so many new ones to appear to, sigh, I really need to up my writing so they can enter the story.

    World Background 3/5 : well, for now there's only a desert, but I plan to build a big world. If everything goes right the desert will be nothing more than a very little part of it.

    Kinda weird to rate myself.

    Now a little about why I'm writing this novel.

    I love reading and the feeling it gives me when I immerse myself into a world. There's many stories that I love, but without a doubt my biggest inspiration is One Piece. I've been watching it since I was little and without a doubt I would not be the person I am today had I not watched it.

    I just hope this story can bring someone the same feelings I have when I'm reading One Piece.

    I really hope you'll give it a chance.

    Thank you for reading :)

    Your oddly specific with height. Trust me the story doesn't need it. Also focus more using words efficiently. I'd try some power verbs to punch up future  chapters all in all its not bad

    This novel is really intresting at the first chapter, the first scene take place in some sort of a bar it did gave me some wild west vibes except no shootouts, when it comes to the fight a scene the writing is very discriptive to say the least.
    overall this got me hook.

    190 + chapters and an amazingly committed author. A well-written story so far.

    10 Chapter in and I'm invested. I think the story is well planned and I like how it progresses. The earlier chapter's pacing is not bad but I do like a faster pace overall I enjoy it.
