Hello, and apologies once again for the delay. Without further adieu, here is my feedback.
Pros: I think this is very easy reading, which is always a plus. It's easy to understand and quick to read which is nice when you're on the go and fits the Tapas format very well. I also like all the cultural references to china. I think you are very good at setting scenes and I like your descriptions of the environment. I enjoy the interactions between our main character and the prince so far as well! I think you do a fantastic job building up their chemistry and personalities, and I like the slow pace at which we're getting to know them! Keeps me wanting to keep reading it. Weird compliment, but I enjoy that the story doesn't feel like... horny? XD It feels genuinely romantic which I love. I like the backdrop of politicial and war things going on in the background of the story, too.
Feedback: I honestly don't have much so far! I think you're off to a fantastic start! There are a few grammatical errors here and there along with sentences that could flow a bit better, but that's totally normal and nothing a good round of editing can't solve. If I were to be nitpicky, I guess something I could say is consider adding in a little more punch into the story to make it feel really unique? I don't know how to describe it, but something we don't see very often in fantasy stories? Maybe like a unique magic system or a cool version of a dragon or something LOL. Just something to really set it apart and make the audience say, "Wow. Never seen a fantasy story do that before. That's cool."
But honestly, it's great so far! I noticed you edited it really fast and efficiently before I gave this critique so I went back to re-read and your edits were amazing! Nice work!
