Output Examples

Short excerpts representing one tool from each of our three review categories. Each shows structured, actionable feedback you can apply immediately.

Selected Tool: Line-Level Clarity & Rhythm Diagnostic

The slab moment needs an explicit cause–effect line (what triggers the event).
Impact: 9/10.
Labyrinth lingers; compress ~10–15% and merge repeats to preserve momentum.
Impact: 8/10.
After transport, give a crisp micro-goal within two lines (hide, water, find help, get back).
Impact: 8/10.
Dannon’s death hits; keep him present via a promise or token so grief sustains motive, not just mood.
Impact: 9/10.

Clarity

Spatial terms blur (“grate,” “crawlspace,” “passage,” “shaft,” “vent”). Add one orienting line and stick to one primary term; re-anchor depth once they’re looking down.
Impact: 8/10.
Key world nouns arrive without quick context: Djin, Gaia, Veriya, Temple. Add one natural clarifying clause each.
Impact: 7/10.
Time-in-tunnel is slippery; add a concrete anchor (oilcloth count, torches, hunger/water).
Impact: 6/10.
The slab moment needs an explicit cause–effect line (what triggers the event).
Impact: 9/10.

Stakes (goals/risks)

Prologue tag intrigues; seed one hint tying the discovery to the future cataclysm.
Impact: 7/10.
Post-fall stakes are strong, but after transport his immediate goal blurs; give a clear micro-goal within two lines.
Impact: 8/10.
The barrier gust/clean zone implies an active system; nudge the threat (lens/drone/status chime).
Impact: 6/10.
In the plaza, people collapsing is potent but ambiguous; give Hector a fearful inference so we understand perceived risk.
Impact: 8/10.

Pacing

The labyrinth section lingers on similar beats; compress ~10–15% and merge repeats to preserve momentum.
Impact: 8/10.
Vary the wandering with one purposeful task loop (splint, ration, mark walls).
Impact: 7/10.
The star-box approach repeats “awe/unease”; either accelerate to the slab or add a proximity response.
Impact: 7/10.
After the portal, ground the scene with two crisp, era-signaling details before the mass emotional wave.
Impact: 6/10.

Emotional Resonance

Dannon’s death hits; keep him present via a promise or token so grief sustains motive, not just mood.
Impact: 9/10.
The belt memory is lovely but long; tighten and make it functional (tourniquet/splint).
Impact: 8/10.
The plaza collapse scene is chilling; let Hector voice one raw, instinctive line to crystallize guilt/fear.
Impact: 7/10.
The final “not heaven” lands; add one sensory shard of dissonance to sharpen it.
Impact: 6/10.

Overall

Overall: Lush, immersive, tense. Clarify a few mechanics, tighten the mid-labyrinth, and sharpen post-portal goals to carry the reader eagerly into Chapter One.

Selected Tool: Cold Beta Reader Simulation

Tighten the first two lines into one vivid beat of dare + motive.
Impact: 7/10.
Clarify the air-barrier moment with a decisive cue; it reads as a threshold.
Impact: 7/10.
Use one definitive metaphor for the slab’s pull to avoid diffusion.
Impact: 7/10.
Make the “wake” others see a touch more concrete (e.g., shimmer/heat-haze).
Impact: 7/10.

Selected Tool: General Chapter Assessment

Sharpen the market-facing hook and category (YA-crossover vs Adult SF); compress setup to reach transgression/fall faster.
Impact: 10/10.
End the prologue on a clear micro-goal after the jump (e.g., water, someone who can explain, a way back).
Impact: 9/10.
Trim repetitive sequences by ~10–15% to keep velocity.
Impact: 9/10.
Offer a logline-level promise to declare stakes/arc up front.
Impact: 9/10.
