《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》#2: 'Obsession' by shaukai
Advertisement
Second review is here, this time with the book Obsession by @shaukai
This book is a mystery/thriller kind of book, about a guy who has this girl who loves him a lot and stalks him.
If you're familiar with Anime, you possibly know the term 'yandere'. That's what the girl is. It's basically Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai from Mirai Nikki, but then in a non-anime book.
Even though it has been done before, I think shaukai has done rather well. The story has correct grammar, which is very important to me, and the characters are... interesting.
Jacob Grayson, the main character. Tia Boise, the stalker chick. Mona Rivera, the slightly neglected best friend of Jacob who is seen as a villain by Tia.
I like how the characters are written. I think I liked who I was supposed to like (ex. Jacob, Mona) and hated who I was supposed to hate (ex. Tia).
But the parents.
Those. Damn. Stupid. Idiots.
They are literally so dense to what is happening in the first chapters and it's just so FRUSTRATING
I haven't figured out yet if that's a good or a bad thing, but interpret it in any way you like.
As for things that could use improvement...
The first few chapters were a bit... boring at times. I understand that those chapters are mainly for introducing characters and storyline, but I felt like they moved at a slow pace. In the later chapters, around the part where the family got kicked out of church, things started to get more interesting in my opinion. If the first chapters were as well paced as the last chapters, I bet more people would stay interested!
On a sidenote, I recommend you read this story. It may be a little boring in the beginning, but it only gets better and I think it deserves more than the 900 reads it has. So I hope shaukai decides to keep writing it, because it's good!
On a scale of one to ten, one being lowest and ten being highest, I give this story a 7.5!

Viscount's Rise
With his father dead and his brother inheriting the earldom, Braydon sets out to inherit the family’s neglected title, Viscount of Cliforge, the only land of the Kingdom on the other side of the Brimstone Mountains. His new lands are on the border that is held peaceful by an uneasy truce and the same lands that claimed his father’s life on the battlefield. With no reputation in noble society and no military might to speak of he will be a long way from challenging his brother whose land is some of the most prosperous in the empire, and has the backing of their younger brother, who has the smarts to raise their position even further. Will he become another casualty to the lands that have already claimed his father, or become something more as he climbs his way to prominence? At least he can be sure that his brother would never see him rise peacefully, and the neighbouring Grand Duke desires the last territory of the kingdom on the eastern side of the mountains. His position is anything but stable, he will do anything to change that and build his realm. Chapters are posted every other day at 11am and pm (gmt).Basically just selecting Gore and Traumatising Content to cover myself, profanity is guaranteed though.
