About me
Hi, I’m Jamal. I review novels with a primary focus on web novels.
I've been reading web novels for over 15 years now. The scene has gotten a lot more saturated since then with all types of novels showing up.
My hopes are that I can help people save time by giving them an idea of a novel before they dive into it.
I love stories. I love reading.
Throughout my years, I’ve had lots of different hobbies and interests, but the one that never left is reading novels. I’ve always enjoyed being able to bury myself in a book at a moment’s notice. Any time spent waiting around is time better spent reading on my phone. For years now, I’ve been saying I would review the things I read and always dragged my feet on it. I’m finally ready to start reviewing things, so I’ve been reading with a more appraising eye lately.
I spent the latter part of my school years egregiously ignoring everything happening around me in favor of reading. I hung out with friends while glued to my phone, trying to finish the latest arc of Coiling Dragon, Mother of Learning, or whatever else I could find. Eventually, I graduated from UT Austin in 2020 with a degree in English Language & Literature. The years I’ve spent reading novels, along with my English degree, have qualified me to review any novel.
My years in college made me a fan of the classics, so expect to see an occasional review in that direction. Web novels will be the primary focus here, though. We live in a time of AI dependence and reduced reading rates, but I think reading can be fun for anyone with a story they’re truly interested in. I hope I can help people find those stories.
