    I'm torn. On the one hand, the report missed a lot of details. The novel's protagonist wasn't mentioned once, and some of the plot events/mechanics were either misinterpreted or misremembered. The report doc itself seemed to be a speech-to-text transcript and was not cleaned up or formatted in a readable...

    One of the best breakdowns of my entire story from start to finish hitting all categories from pacing to characterization to how things could be worded to strengthen the manuscript. I would give 6 stars if that was possible. Great communication as well and very adaptive! Highly recommend!
