Review
This was quite the read. I enjoyed the twist and turns embedded deep between the lines. Description was well done, the scenes came across as immediate and almost instantaneous. Characters were narrated skillfully with pin-like precision. Themes and Conflicts were intriguing to say the list, setting hit and settled in words spoken within dialogue and exchange between characters and not entirely from narration, it was interesting seeing the level of work and skill that went into this. Again, we appreciate your patience and understanding. Thank you for participating, we wish you incite and more skill

HIS RENTAL GIRLFRIEND
Writing Style(17/20): The writing style is good and clear but somethings are a little repetitive, like when you try to show direct speech you use very common reporting verbs/phrases
Plot and Storytelling(18/20): The plot is really good, the storytelling however is a little off, just the slightest bit, few stumbles in the flow that’s all.
Characterization (18/20): The characterization was really good, although I was looking for more depth and more 3rd character development it was fairly well done.
Themes and Messages (8.5/10): The theme was nice and unique, I didn't see any big significant message but The theme of love shone through
Emotional Impact (8/10): I feel like the angst went past too quick, there could have definitely been more emphasis if we didn't have the 2 month time skip, but I saw all of them evolve and grow which was good
Setting and World-Building (9/10):There was no world building needed really, but you explained the setting well, which is really good.
Dialogue (8/10): the dialogues were good but there were some small mistakes
Overall Enjoyment (4/5): I enjoyed reading the story and it's very intresting.
Total : 90.5/100

REVIEW:
It was fascinating to read this book! I have to say you’ve truly got pure talent up your sleeves. The grammar and punctuation is absolutely flawless and doesn’t break the flow of the story even one bit. Even though you’ve kept the writing so descriptive, anyone can still read it and decipher the plot well, so good job with creating decent readability. However, I do have to say that with the skills you’ve got you could have used more professional and expressive words to add effect to your writing along with using creative writing techniques like personification, similes, or even oxymorons. This can be one of your goals to improve your book!
The creativity in this book is efficient and wonderful, yet it does remind me of many of those other fantasy novels in the beginning due to its characters, but I still respect it. The plot is just as great, but I do have to say due to the amount of description you include it does disrupt the pace of the story and often make it slow, so please try to work on that because in all honesty, it can also decrease reader engagement
You’ve created characters that are actually pretty relatable regardless of some of them having such high statuses. You’ve all of them including the side characters with such attention and a believable back story that I don’t even know what to say!
Everything else in this book from emotional impact to world building is impeccable (specially the way you describe each setting, utterly remarkable)however, I do have to say that I was a little disappointed with the character dialogue. You’ve used such nice words and tones to describe the setting yet the character speech seems a little bland and robotic. So I recommend that you try to add more tone to character dialogue with things like adjectives and facial expressions to add to that emotion. Ex. He exclaimed with a grin stretching to such length that his face could rip apart.
Overall, I’ve quite enjoyed reading this book, yet I do recommend you try to lessen your word count for each chapter, because often I had to scheme read, but I really appreciate your hard work. Good job!!!!
