Hi! So, I am going to attempt to finish your book this review day... it kind of amuses me. I usually review your chapters when it is either review day or I am sleep deprived... well, today is both! So hopefully I can make sense, lol.
"Okay, I don't think it's just pear, but it tastes amazing." The sauce was sweet and tangy with a hint of pear, but the parentheses were the real standout— they were flaky and complemented the pancakes perfectly. Sunny closed her eyes as she finished chewing the bite.
Okay, so this is going to sound bad, BUT. If Sunny is stuck here, she can totally make it as a food critic, lol.
This was what she was talking about! One of the great parts about questing was the opportunity to try things you wouldn't usually get to try, whether that be new foods or places.
... my characters are questing wrong, lol.
For an instant, Sunny even wondered if staying here would be so bad. Sure, she didn't really know anyone in Javaland, but here, she wouldn't have to go to school, and if she succeeded on her quest (as she surely would), the Javalandians would probably be grateful enough to allow her free food to last a lifetime.
I mean... since it seems like Sunny is kind of reflecting on things and being slightly sentimental, it might be nice for her to reflect on the people that she had met and how kind they were to her. She is such a happy person, I think she would love to kind of reflect on how grateful she is to have met these people. You know?
But then the faces of her family and friends swam into her mind, and Sunny shook her head. No. She had to get back.
When you flash this story out, you probably need to flesh out her backstory and who she left behind to increase the stakes of your story!
The pair had just started to walk towards the exit when the door swung open again. But this time, it didn't let in hungry customers.
Honestly, given the way that your story has gone this far, I was a bit confused. Like, how did Sunny know that these people weren't hungry? Was it that obvious? She didn't really describe how she came to that conclusion or any gut feeling or whatever. So I think you need to describe your villainous minions' entrance more and how Sunny came to the conclusion that she did.
Hello, world. Hello, world. Hello, world," the right one repeated. Streams of red text moved hypnotizingly over its face, like some kind of error-based helmet.
LOL. This... is just... perfect, lol! Love the reference...
Come with us," the left one commanded.
Sunny risked a glance back at Robert, but the robot just shook his head, keeping his eyes on the right one. In a blink, the right newcomer was standing right next to him, and with a single touch, the robot froze. "Error" flashed across his face.
Okay... first, why isn't Sunny looking at the patrons' reactions at this moment when they are basically coercing Sunny? Are they trying to hide? Ignore this whole confrontation because it doesn't have to do with them? Describe!
Next, you want to draw out this moment and fragment sentences a bit for dramatic effect. (Also, clarify your pronouns because right now they are a bit confusing.)
Like... this would be better...
Come with us," the left one commanded.
Sunny risked a glance back at Robert, but Robert just shook his head, keeping his eyes on the right one.
In a blink, the right newcomer was standing right next to Robert and touched him.
With a single touch, Robert froze. "Error" flashed across his face.
So something like that to draw out the moment!
Sunny breathed heavily. She looked at the rest of the café, who looked frozen as well, then lowered her head and stepped towards the doorway. There was no doubt about it; confrontation with the final boss was near.
Okay, yes it might be, but why is this the only inevitable conclusion??? Why is Sunny willing to follow these guys? Why isn't she demanding that they fix Robert now... or else? Why isn't she asking questions like her curious, bubbly self normally would??
More than that, I want to see her logic as to why these characters aren't the big bad guy. Because, for all Sunny knows, they could be the evil guy. I mean, they just disabled Robert! So what does she recognize in them that makes her think she has a worse foe ahead to face?
As Sunny left the café, the being who'd frozen Robert pushed the robot along, bringing him with them. That was some small comfort, at least— maybe the frozen thing was only temporary, and Robert could be fixed. He was an ambassador; the villain would want to keep him alive for useful information, right?
Wait! This seems to imply that Sunny's gut reaction was that the henchmen DESTROYED Robert!!! And she is only now thinking that maybe there might be a way out of this.
This is a very real important thing that you need to emphasize, because DRAMA!!
Sunny shuffled along between the two beings, who she now suspected were errors. That red text was unmistakable.
I probably would have her recognize them as errors when she first saw them... it would give us a better idea of who they were and give us a better mental image.
Well, at least that's where she'd been planning on going.
I would probably expand on this more... maybe have Sunny express more of her reactions and emotions of finding herself in this strange situation.
Sunny bit her lip and silently promised to do everything she could to fix him. Because she was a hero. And heroes could fix everything.
But like... does she have ideas off the top of her head? Is she slightly worried? Or is she just committed to stay positive because otherwise she should succumb to despair?
Sunny's only answer was, "Hello, world."
LOL.
At this point, Sunny was wondering if making her climb the mountain was a strategy to make sure she was too tired to effectively confront the villain.
Also, the annoyingly constant "hello world" would make me want to crack as well, LOL.
It seemed like they'd been walking for days when Sunny finally saw something that wasn't rocks or scraggly trees.
Wait... were they walking for days or was this an exaggeration? I can't tell...
Because there was no way there was an In-N-Out here.
LOL.
IN-N-OUT??? XD
I lived in California most of my life, and I must admit... I am amused. XD They are unmistakable, aren't they?
