《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'Life Line' by xxInAHeartbeatxx
Advertisement
So what is this story about? Well, it's got a bad boy and a self-harming nerd with a dark past and dead parents.
I mean… it sounds familiar.
But lets elaborate for a bit. Charlotte Lewis' parents have been murdered for reasons yet unknown, leading to her being placed in foster care; she's gotten a nice new family who she doesn't connect with and is being bullied at school. Fun. Then one day she runs into Caleb (literally), a hot ray of sunshine with plans to get closer to her.
Yeah. Definitely sounds vaguely familiar.
Kind of a cookie-cutter plot, to be honest. However, plots like these can work if they find that one thing that sets them apart from the rest. For this book, I think the murdered parents thing and Charlotte's relationship with Rachel have potential. I'd like to see more development in that direction; it might help the story to become more original.
The characters are decent enough, though also rather stereotypical. Self-harming bullied girl with a dark past meets sunshine boy who wants to help her and calls her a weird nickname? Yes, we get it now, Wattpad just loves that trope. What I'd also like to mention is Rachel; the story went in an interesting direction with her introduction, but then she just sort of… disappears. What's up with that? Don't introduce characters if you're just going to forget about them.
The GPS is… hm. Punctuation and spelling really do seem difficult here, but I promise, it's not a promise. I'd recommend some major editing, if I may.
Let's say the story has some untapped potential that needs to be brought out.
Rating: 5.5

This is the Trial by Conquest — a battle-royale, civilisation, build-off. Lose and you die. Win and you rule over your new fantasy world as king! Maximus Rum would rather not die. In fact, right now what he’d most rather is find his pants and figure out what the hell is going on. The beach he woke up on is empty and quiet. But he’d better get a move on. The Trial has already begun. Note: I am not intending to write this as a harem story. However, if you believe that a man knowing and having sex with women constitutes a harem, and if that is not your bag, please consider this your warning. Genre: A village-building, dungeoncrawling, LitRPG — taking inspiration from games such as HoMM, Civilization, ANNO, TotalWar, Warcraft, and others. Tone: Mostly 'hell, yeah!' fun with occasional dips into darkness. May contain: Violence, combat, fights, etc. Sexual humour, references, descriptions, and debatably non-explicit acts. Moral ambiguity and occasional sophistication. Nuts.
