Sorry, have to take this down, as I'm finally done editing and will begin submitting to agents and such. Hope the viewers who didn't comment enjoyed it! |

It's really hard to make a review based in just one chapter and I am not a professional reviewer, just a person who reads a lot (books and reviews), but I will try to say my point of view. Don't be mad at me if I say something you don't like. First, after reading many critics reviews, I know that writing in the first person is dangerous, because you will need much more skill and a really good character to keep readers motivated. Second, I think that it is better to spend the first chapter describing the main character or the setting, rather than going straight to the supernatural without any explanation. Third, a transparent body is a really hard thing to miss. It really kills my interest, however it may appeal to young readers though. |

Thanks for reading it! I've got thick skin, so be as harsh as you want So it's not clear that Hisoka only became ghostly when the sun rose? |

It seems he was transparent since the beginning, but she only noticed it later. At least in my understanding. |

Getting the first 4 chapters workshopped tomorrow. Should be interesting. |
