[{"type":1,"text":"The author's writing style is very entrancing as the MC is somewhat talking directly to the reader (or at least it's conveyed that way). It makes me feel like I'm in the setting with them, which a lot of authors fail to do. In terms of writing, their sentence structure could use some work, but it seems more like a language gap issue and it really isn't a problem.\r\n\r\nThe dialogue is very riveting and it doesn't allow me to stop. Knowing what all the characters are thinking and doing is so gratifying!\r\n\r\nThis is an excellent start and I can't wait to see where this is heading. Awesome job, Author-sama!"},{"type":2,"text":"https://media.tenor.com/images/b4ff3bf9c8693fe84641b3cd569e215c/tenor.gif","height":218,"width":220}]

This is a gem; the author has done a good job presenting this story to us, giving us a smooth reading experience. Clarifying that, the story is easy to digest, making for a clear and concise reading experience that doesn't leave you scratching your head out of frustration like some other stories do. There are a plethora of characters, diverse and leaving a lot of room for favorites to be picked. It's a setting I don't see explored much with stories on this site, so its refreshing to see--give this one a read.

Chapter 1: PLEASE READ
First, let's quickly imagine certain scenarios:
[MYSTERY]
1. What if you found out after many years past that your entire life was a lie and there was more to what you were told by the ones whom you love the most—family? #half-truth.
2. What if you ended up having an encounter with your doppelgänger and the baton of saving another man's life rested on your shoulders from then on, what would you do?
3. What if you realized that the battle before you wasn't as easy to conquer as you thought it would, and in the process of doing the saving you indirectly put your own life on the line, what then?
[PASSION]
4. What if you realized that the one you thought you loved, was no longer the one who held the key to your precious heart, but instead, you'd fallen head over heels in love with a woman with a Neptune dark past who happens to be the daughter of the one-time notorious Nosa Castro clan leader of the Italian mafia, and who had headed the Mafia community for a period of years after her dad had fallen by the gun? Would you push through with your emotions or subtly relent?
5. What if this villainess you've come to love is one whom you are withholding a dark secret from, and whose greatest law holds that In her kingdom, forgiveness was a SIN? How do you break it to her that you're not who she thought you were the entire time?
6. What if because of you, she's vowed to take vengeance on the woman you once loved and a one-time fling you had when you were drunk and vulnerable, and this villainess pushes through with her threats, would you love her still after she's placated herself of her fury for feeling betrayed? Or would you crush such deep-rooted emotions of love?
...
The book "LOVE AND DECEIT" is a book that depicts an Italian mafia-themed deceitful romance saga.
Remember lovelies that this book is tagged accordingly and is rated 18. So, when you come across scenes that are action-packed and gory, or highly sexual explicit scenes, or use of bad language occasionally, please remember that it is strictly R18, and I have that much freedom to express the scenes however it becomes relatable to you, my readers and me as well.
Also, even though the book is centred in Italy, with splashes of other countries mentioned here and there, it is purely a work of fiction. As such, some ideas may not correlate with the environmental setting(although so far I've been doing a lot of research to broaden my scope of experience), also you'd notice a little Italian(with English translations of course, for clarity).
Names and likeness to any character in this book are clearly fictional and unintended if it coincidentally relates to anyone living or dead.
Also, some chapters may be slower than some, but I feel it just about works for this book if it's written that way. I'd do my best to re-edit so if peradventure you read along and notice some grammar errors, please kindly point it out, and I will work to rectify it as soon as I can.
Lastly, for now, this book is published:
@Two chapters a day(2 chps/24hours)
@6:00 am / GMT+ 8
The number of chapters published per day will increase with reader interest.
PS. The chapters are locked at a number, a little too early but the good news is you can still unlock daily with the Fast Pass Unlocking System[FPS]
How?
By signing in to the app @Webnovelapp, and logging in every day as well as participating in daily missions, you get qualified to receive a minimum of 1FP at least every day.
So, that is an option to enjoy your read.
The bad news is as an author, I won't earn from that approach. 😩So if you have coins(bought with actual money), you can help me earn by unlocking chappies to read, gifting my book by clicking on the gift icon below every chapter you read, and being a part of my privileged readers. Yay🎉🎉
If you've read up till this point, thank you. You are the true definition of amazing. Also, it'd be nice if you'd use the comment section to share me your thoughts and I will be very happy to know that you actually stopped by, taking minutes out of your precious time to read through my book.
I love you.😘😘
