What AI will do for you:

I will first check how smoothly the story flows for the average reader. This includes:

• Sentence structure – Are sentences varied and clear? Any overly long or confusing constructions?

• Word choice – Are there simpler alternatives to clunky or jargon-heavy terms?

• Pacing – Does the story move at a natural rhythm, or are there parts that drag or rush?

• Formatting – Paragraph breaks, dialogue formatting, and chapter divisions can all help or hinder readability.

• I might also run it through tools like the Flesch-Kincaid readability score just as a loose benchmark—but never rely on that alone.

🔹 Engagement

Next, I’d ask: Is this story pulling me in and making me care?

• Hook – Does the story grab attention in the first paragraph?

• Character depth – Are the characters believable, relatable, and evolving?

• Conflict and stakes – Is there a compelling “why” behind the action?

• Scene tension – Do I feel something happening on the page—emotion, suspense, curiosity?

• Voice and tone – Is the narration distinctive or does it feel generic?

If I find myself drifting, I’ll flag where and explore why: Is it exposition-heavy? Are the stakes unclear? Dialogue flat?

🔹 Writing Style

This is where it gets subjective, but I look for:

• Consistency – Does the voice match the genre, setting, and character point of view?

• Originality – Are there fresh turns of phrase or perspectives?

• Show vs. Tell – Are emotions and scenes being shown through action and dialogue, or just explained?

• Tone control – Is the style appropriate to the mood, and does it shift naturally when needed?

• Authorial voice – That elusive “feel” that makes the piece unmistakably you.

In the end, my review would include specific examples (both strengths and places to tweak), always tailored to the writer’s goals and audience.
