my first work is called "Illusion-the deepest corner of the soul"
Genre: Mystery, Psychological, Detective Fiction

My story follows Detective Tom Shaw, a man haunted by a personal tragedy—the unsolved murder of his parents, a night he can't even remember. For years, he's been stuck, unable to move past his own grief and trauma.

For the moment it has only three chapter, obv the goal is to finish it. I think it can be a solid story (with also the details for the future) but it really needs feedbacks to improve and i will be greatful if you can help me with that. Thank you for your time and attention.

Detective story? My narrative protagonist is also a girl detective who prioritizes conscience in solving mysteries and crimes. But the story's main protagonist is a young mother and a bloody executioner greatly feared by corrupt nobles.

That sounds really interesting. I've added it to my reading list and I'll definitely check it out. Thank you for the recommendation, though!

You're welcome, I'll read your novel when I have free time. By the way, my novel is also still in the process of being perfected, reviewed, revised, and edited. I'm even rewriting Volume 1 while trying to finish Volume 2, which is approaching its climax, and preparing for Volume 3. What I want to say is, write first, revise later. Even a novel with good content doesn't necessarily mean readers will like it. We can only write as best as we can.
