    What do you think of my writing style, content etc...
    I want some reviews:
    There are no true saints, neither are there true villains. People act upon their own interests, and seldom lend a helping hand to others out of purely altruistic motives; but neither do they kill and maim and slaughter for their own amusement. You shall learn that one day, and when you do, you will be able to control them more skillfully and serve your own interests in a better, more-suitable manner.

    Good grammar, beautiful vocabulary, pleasant to read but I partly disagree on the content. But I guess that's irrelevant.

    Nice paragraph. Continue with the sentimentality for your whole book and it should turn out alright
