*Title

🏅Pagkabasa ko pa lang ay na-excite na akong basahin ang story.

*Cover

🏅Simple yet refined

*Description

🏅Ramdam ko na kaagad na serious and malungkot ang tema

🏳️For me, I'll settle with the phrase, "Have you ever wondered sometimes about your dream funeral?" Kahit walang ibang nakasulat kundi ang phrase na 'yan lang. It's intriguing enough. Pagdating kasi sa description, mas pabor ako kapag nakukuha nito ang curiosity ko kaysa sa technical aspects. Malalaman ko pa rin naman kasi ang characters and plot while reading the story. But, okay lang din naman if may overview. I just thought that utilizing a single phrase is more appealing.

💤 The structure is just a little bit off. You confuse some phrases into sentences.

🏳️ Just a slight fix 👇🏼Suggestion ko lang naman. The decision is still yours.

*Language & Style

🏅Love the aesthetic and other visuals provided throughout the book

🏅Wala masyadong technicalities. Very minimal and they did not affect my reading experience

🏳️Proofread sentences having the wrong position of words, wrong usage of linking verbs, wrong contractions, redundant pronouns, a few wrong verb tenses, nakalimutang word na i-type, etc. I think you'll notice them naman when you proofread and edit your work. Base na rin kasi sa pagbabasa ko, I think you know your grammar - English or Filipino man.
