BOOK COVER

The front cover rings perfectly with the book title. It has a dark, cyber-attack vibe to it and the cover is aesthetically very appealing. It draws a lot of attention. I noticed that it was created by _Ratchet and she's done a great job on that. The title and author's name are both very well-written and the contrast between the dark background and light text is attractive. However, the text saying 'Wattpad Orginal' at the top needs to be changed to 'Wattpad Original'.

I will be treating your prologue as the first chapter.

CHAPTER ONE

The opening lines are one of those dramatic scenes that start the book with a dose of action. I like the great attention to detail you have here and the names of Lexami and Project NetEye are unique. I always admire authors who can play around with new original words. 

When you start the chapter by using the name 'Lexami Cybersecurity Corporation', I would suggest adding a bracket saying LCC after it because in the next paragraph it has been referred to as LCC. The reader needs to know what LCC is and although 'Lexami Cybersecurity Corporation' uses uppercase letters at the beginning, it's best to use brackets the first time.

I love the attention to detail here. Every programme and message displayed is right out of a tech-world and it's as though an experienced tech expert has written it. The chapter introduces suspense at an early stage and it's a good beginning. It was also grammatically satisfying, with no errors.

CHAPTER TWO

This chapter had a few details that confused me. When Quinn prints his results, it seems as though he is reading his results for the first time. If so, he could have got his master's degree only after his results had been approved. However, it is indicated that his degree is already on the table in front of him. That part needs to be revised. 

In the line 'Cecil Destron started the "conference"', the word conference need not be in quotes as they serve no purpose. Again, I like the original names you've used- Cecil Destron, Quinn Lark etc. It breaks away from cliched names. When the people in the conference rooms have been named, there has to be a brief description of who each one is. Unlike with Cecil and Mike, the reader has no information regarding the identities of Miranda Aster and Jack Portract. That needs to be edited.

 The building up of suspense and building the foundation for some action has been done well here and the chapter is also grammatically well-written.

CHAPTER THREE

The technical details are mind-blowing. I just love the way every piece of hardware and every bit software has a unique identity and the way they've all been brought in to fit together is perfect. The conversations in the chapter are also highly-engrossing and there's a considerable improvement in conversation style compared to the previous chapter.

Also, in the part where you talk about FlashBack and the change activation between  Sigmoid to Relu, could provide a brief explanation of what they are, in layman terms. In the midst of such amazing detail, you wouldn't want people to give up reading because of the technical terms, would you?

 Apart from the technical details that have already been perfected, a new focus should be placed on the descriptions of the immediate environment. Not much is said about the room Quinn is standing in or about RXER-4's physical appearance. If those details can be added, the chapter will be even more entertaining to read.

CHAPTER FOUR

Okay, a description of the surroundings has been brought in here, so it's definitely an improvement. I love the unique idea of the 4-D printed grass FlashBack creates to form a trail depending on what the person feels. It sounds like it's straight from a sci-fi movie!

The conversations here were engrossing too and there's more detail in them than the previous chapters. There were no grammatical mistakes at all and I consider this a strength that every author must possess.

In the last paragraph when Malcolm ends the conversation, he says "But we've come to an agreement." "Your mission is now live."

It appears that both the lines are different dialogues due to the separation by the quotes. However, it is clear that both the dialogues are said by Malcolm so there shouldn't be a separation by quotes. If you wish to give a pause between both those sentences, simply bring both sentences together and separate them with a full stop. You could also write the second sentence after a continuation mark (...) for a longer pause.

NOTE: Since the book has only four chapters at the time of critiquing, only four chapters' reviews have been published here.

FINAL NOTE

'HackerGo: Invasion' is a book for everyone out there who love technical details. I guarantee you won't miss them here. For those of you who have in-depth knowledge about technology, this will be a great book to read. It might seem a little confusing for those who need the layman terms for the slightly-complicated details, but if the author can fix that, it'll be a great work. It's interesting and entertaining and I'm sure there are many readers out there who will love this book.
