    Aah, it's been quite a while since I last read/seen a story like this. Music, romance, too much guy talk... White Album 2 memories intensify xDD

    The premise is pretty good, and the way the events are turning out is interesting too!
    I've taken quite the liking to the characters themselves: Yoichi is resorting to music because of his (I assume) monotonous life, Danzo and Koutarou are the hilarious sidekicks that comment on his every move, Akari is mysteriously intriguing AND a musical genius, but most importantly, Sacchi...can we pretty please treasure this precious girl? xD

    As much as I did love all these aspects of the story, I reckon that it still needs a few amendments to portray its true charm. The descriptions feel weak and give out minimal imagery, making them seem rushed. It's obvious that you have a very clear image of what you want to portray in mind, so I'm sure you do have the potential to turn this into something jaw-dropping! You could, for instance, spend a couple lines on the appearance of a character to help create an overall image of him/her for the viewer, or maybe some more lines to describe the landscape or the music room, to be more specific. That way, the story won't feel rushed, the imagery will be more vivid and easier for the reader to imagine, and subsequently they will become more immersed into it!
    Other than that, I haven't noticed any other issue apart from small syntactic ones (i.e. a lack of commas in a couple parts), but that barely affected the reading experience!

    All in all, while there are some issues I believe should be fixed, the story is incredible so far! I really hope to see another chapter soon, so good luck working on it, and happy holidays as well!!

    Chapter:2












    Nov 02, 2017

    I have to say, the summary itself doesn't hint that the story would have such an interesting twist to it, and this is one reason why I was hesitating to read this novel at first, but I'm glad I persuaded myself to sit down and binge-read it!

    I want to point out a couple things that I didn't really like though.
    First, despite the chapters being short, I feel like the pacing is too fast for their length. That doesn't go to say that the story doesn't flow nicely as it is, but I do find myself a bit wondering if I missed anything important after reading one chapter.
    Also, kinda related to my first point, the story lacks detail to a certain point. For instance, in the final two paragraphs of Chapter 2, I believe you could have described the staff a bit (maybe size, shape, color, etc etc...) and therefore it would make the chapter a bit longer and with more vivid imagery. But in the end, this is something you yourself will get to decide if it's suits your style and if it's good for your novel to use or not!

    As I mentioned, your story feels really unique, and even if I've personally seen/read similar stories, this one has this...thing that makes it different from the rest. I can definitely say that your characters have a lot of potential and so does the story, but even so I'm not entirely sure what this unique aspect is as of now, but I'm speculating it's hiding somewhere between the two! Or maybe it could be because I sense that there might be a dark twist later on (compared to the story's current mood of course), who knows! I'm leaving it to you to surprise us! xD

    Either way, I know I'll stay until the end as I want to stay and find what that thing is for sure and to see how the story and you as a writer will develop! Best of luck on writing the next chapter!
