Rising from the Ashes is my first try at writing a book, so I'd appreciate any kind of feedback regarding the story or writing. Note that the first few chapters might be goofy, but i hope it get's better as i become more used to writing. My story starts out a little bit slow, as reincarnation stories usually do, but it should pick up relatively quick.
The story and writing have been pretty decent so far. Avoids some of the major tropes we see in such stories where the MC becomes OP really quickly. Certain side plots haven't quite panned out or were dropped seemingly pretty quickly such as the step mother and half brother. Perhaps enhance the plot here, introduce relatives from all sides paternal and maternal.
The father's character is too one dimensional as well where he is always stern and buried in paperwork. The author really should avoid character tropes here. Rich and powerful people delegate. A CEO and president isn't buried in paperwork like Japanese anime suggests. They socialize and mingle to increase their standing and engage in politics through courts, balls, and parties.
The MC's personality is also a bit weird where she sometimes acts as a child and sometimes an adult seeking attention and validation. This seems inconsistent so author needs to address this. Perhaps clarity on MC past?
World building so far is slow and steady which isn't bad, plus I like the whole show and not tell approach thus far.
So far been happy with story despite the minor flaws. Hopefully author keeps the pacing right and avoids expositions or slowing the story plot pacing to that of paint drying.
