Faded
IEscapist
Romance, Adult, Mature
I'm not sure how to feel about it. I get a punk rock vibe and someone is a mess. If this is not how the character is/feels like than yeah...Also the cover doesn't look like a cover for adults, more for teens.
I actually really like it. After I read the summary though the top part made sense.
If this story is going to be in third person, put what the character is saying (I, me, my) in Italic. There is also some run on sentences with the use of too many commas.
When a character is talking to them selves use (') since (") symbolizes they are talking to someone. Because your book is Adult/Mature don't skip over little details. As I said above there are some run on sentences. I didn't understand the part about a speech?
Since you are in Third Person you can switch between POV's without saying, NAME pov. You only need to use that when the whole story is going to be in first person. You are missing a lot of 'the's. You might want to read this over by saying it out loud. Also if the machine gun a metaphor? Since you know someone wouldn't have a machine gun on campus in America...Unless it's a different country...But...oh wait Paskisten......hmm.... I just googled guns aren't allowed on educational institutions.
Hold the phone. When she goes to the speech comp. is that the present or past. Also is Musa the girl from the prologue and chapter one?
I do like how you ended this chapter.
Is the speech a really big thing in this school or country?If so you should state that. Missing 'the's. It dose feel rushed try adding some descriptive details.

As before you're missing a lot of 'the's. Also I was confused who was talking through most of the dialogue. With the first paragraph you dont have to say every little thing she does.
2 💙💙
Most is said above. I gave a two mostly due to sentence flow and it's not smooth. My main concern though is choose between third or first person. I really like first person when you switched to first. I see potential. Keep writing.
Rate from 1-5

The Devil's own sins
Writer updates available for free on patreon. The following account, dear reader, is a recollection and retelling of the story of the first imp. The last devil born from the original primordial pit at the dawn of time, and the lowliest speck of that first generation. It recounts the tale of Thozronnath the pitiful and his steady rise from obscurity, perpetually stuck as a punching bag for his betters until the day hell itself spat him out. The information presented here is pieced together from eye-witness reports and second hand hearsay, sometimes from creatures with more than two hands. I can not tell you with any degree of accuracy how much of it is true as it begins long before our time and it's true ending lies far unto the future still. I can tell you one thing though, it was confusing as hell. Cover: Illustration for John Milton's Paradise Lost by Gustave Doré (1866), a thankfully public domain image. Currently on hiatus.
