Review Detail of Hamzable in Star Crossed: The Idol King & Empress of Evil

not a big fan of romance tbh. but still, i will try my best to be impartial. The descriptions are plentiful and generally well-placed, though many are generic and some are cliched. There are also a few choice verbs that get on my nerves, like 'thundered' as a said bookism. There's also a section of dialogue that starts with "'Wang Shina…' There was a hint of sadness and regret in his voice..." and ends with "'Emperor,' Shuri said with tears in her eyes..." that has the same structure of dialogue tag in the middle of the dialogue. Try to vary where you place them, and if possible remove dialogue tags or opt for action tags instead. Plot is also rather generic as of the first chapter, which is more of a prologue than anything else. A well executed cold opening with tone promises, character arc promises, and perhaps a glimpse of umbrella plot promises. The characters are pretty good, and I guess the step-mother is a subtle inversion of the cliche that stepmothers are always evil (though that remains to be seen). But well, I'm supposing those characters aren't immortal, so I'm not sure how they will be transposed into the modern-day story that follows.
