《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》#5: 'This popstar story' by JustRunawayFox
Advertisement
This is the story of Frans King, a famous popstar who lives a fake life, a lie. It's written by JustRunawayFox and has 27 chapters so far.
I like it. This book is good. I like the characters I'm supposed to like (ex. Frans, Thea, Victor, Fredrick) and I dislike the characters I'm supposed to dislike (ex. Timothy, Martha). The characters are well written!
It was interesting to read about the downsides of life as a celebrity for a change, so that's a plus too
The grammar/ word order isn't always spot on and there are some recurring mistakes, but JustRunawayFox has an extensive vocabulary, which is a good thing. I think the good use of words kind of makes up for the previously mentioned mistakes, but please look at this:
Oblivious: means someone is ignorant/doesn't know things
Obvious: means that something is very clear
These words are easy to get mixed up, but it was pretty annoying when the word oblivious was used when it was so obvious that the other word should've been used.
So maybe edit a little, okay?
I also liked that there were song lyrics at the beginning of each chapter, because I thought it helped set the mood. (But maybe include the titles of the songs? It would be easier for your readers to find it on the internet in case they want to listen to it. Or you can put a youtube video in the media, that works too)
There was something else I was going to mention, but I forgot. Guess it wasn't that important. I might edit it in if I remember.
I rate this story: 7!

Overgrowth
I never thought I'd be killed by butterflies. But here I am... Edmon Valli was a smuggler, before a freak storm threw him off course and stranded him on a desert island smack in the middle of an uncharted monster zone. Trying his best to survive, or possibly even escape, he stumbles across the find of a lifetime: an unclaimed dungeon crystal. This is a dungeon-ish story, but without reincarnation or transmigration. I started it as a whim for NaNoWriMo so I may drop it any time after that... or I might not. My current plan is to write until I can reach some sort of conclusion and call it 'volume one'. I hope someone enjoys reading it for now! All comments, corrections, and criticism welcome.
