AI Beta Reader steps up to V2.
The goal this round: take reader feedback beyond “vibes” and into professional editor-grade structured analysis.
6 dimensions / 104 questions
V1 reader reports felt like a reader’s afterthoughts — five-star rating, why they liked / disliked it.
V2 reorganizes that into 6 editorial dimensions × 104 structured questions:
| # | Dimension | # Questions | Sample area |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pacing | 16 | Opening hook, mid-section sag, climax tension, chapter-end cliffhangers |
| 2 | Characters | 22 | Motivation consistency, character arc, supporting depth, dialogue distinctiveness |
| 3 | Worldbuilding | 14 | Information reveal pacing, rule consistency, visual sense, sensory detail |
| 4 | Prose | 18 | Sentence length variation, rhythm, filler words, voice, figurative density |
| 5 | Structure | 16 | Scene structure, causal chain, setup / payoff, POV switches |
| 6 | Emotion | 18 | Empathy points, emotional layering, reader emotion curve, peak emotional moments |
Each question returns three things:
- Current rating (1–5)
- Specific quoted paragraph
- Improvement suggestion
Transparent USD cost
Every V2 report displays an estimated USD cost at the top (e.g. “This report cost ~$0.42 USD”).
Why disclose this? Because writers should know how much each piece of feedback costs.
Slima’s subscriptions include a quota; overflow runs on metered billing. Knowing the cost lets you plan deliberately:
- How many readers to run
- Which reader to use
- Which chapters to send
Mobile reading
V2 reports get a fully redesigned mobile layout:
- Six dimensions as swipeable card sections
- Quoted paragraphs tap to jump to source
- Ratings rendered as visual star bars
- Summary / Full mode toggle
Reading reader feedback on your commute — smooth all the way through.
