Editors’ Feedback:
The heroine’s backstory should be shortened, condensing all her goodness into one sentence; making the sudden turnaround all the more impressive.

Blurb:
She is strong and powerful. Ever since he met her, his life has turned into a living hell or has it? Dickson hated himself so much for being a weakling and he hated her for being so powerful.

Editors’ Feedback:
The content of Chapters 1 and 2 seems a bit too repetitive with a lot of overlap.
When choosing the “Chasing Her Apollo” mainline, one should focus on the plot of how the female lead takes the initiative in chasing after the male-lead.
From this kind of story, readers can see and relate to her dominance and her courage even when faced with great adversity, she takes charge and pursues her lover, despite a difference in identity, social status, occupation, and family background between them.
In this story, it isn’t clear how the female protagonist pursues her lover and how, in fact she’s the one in charge, with the power.
It will be better to modify and make it more apparent how she’s the one chasing him to conform to this mainline for the contest.
