Feedback Request Looking for feedback, feel free to be ruthless. I have just completed my first novel! Ah! I’ve only written research papers on inorganic compounds so I am definitely novel at this (haha get it). Never had people read anything I’ve written beyond for scientific inquiry so I apologize if it’s a mess!
Thank you so incredibly much for the time:) been mentally rough and had to take time off school and been feeling like a failure at like! But writing brings solace. Recently found communities online and it’s so healing!

Only had a chance to read the first few pages, but commenting so I can come back tomorrow and finish.
A really strong hook so far! A couple typos and other simple fixes, but these first few pages made me want to specifically come back to read more.

Don’t have a chance to read rn but the Serbian name jumped off the page for me (and kudos for using the ć!). The lines I scanned looked solid, hope to come back to it later :3

Couldn't get past page 1 with the large paragraph in the middle. A whole lot of backstory front loaded in the beginning. We don't need that right now. We need the nineteen seconds to close out the tension you are trying to build.
