Review by Scribe After Five
FriEnchantra had so much potential—but it honestly read like an early draft of Phantasma… or just a draft in general.
The real saving grace? Vivi and Rowen’s banter. Their dynamic had sparks, and it’s what kept me turning pages.
But beyond that, I wanted more. More from the trials. More depth to the premise. More layers in the worldbuilding and the magic system. Everything felt surface-level—especially in the later chapters, where the pacing rushed ahead and the payoff fell flat.
It left me wanting more, but in all the wrong ways.
