Beginning
It’s terrible. The narration is only good to sleep to. no emotional inflections. bad editing and the voices of all the characters are just grating.
Story wise you can guess the big surprise early on. The author really makes it obvious. The main plot point of the main character being a selfish bad person just isnt true. He didnt do anything bad or selfish and helped and saved his friends. the fact that he didnt keep playing with some people he grouped with isnt being a jerk. They are different levels.
Middle
You get used to the narration and it becomes slightly less grating.
Story. The plotholes and bad writing become normal and you enjoy the story and characters more.
End
Story is still terrible but your invested now and just go with it.
To summarize change the narrator and your ratings will go up. If this is meant for 7th grade and below great job. if this is the authors first book its a solid start. If not, well dont change your name so I dont have to waste my money and time again.
