I have a short fantasy light-novel excerpt—about 2,100 words split across four chapters—that has already gone through translation and a first correction pass. What I now need is a final native-level polish so every sentence feels perfectly natural while the playful mix of action, humour and drama stays intact. Your task is straightforward: read the piece, smooth any lingering bumps in grammar, punctuation or flow, and flag tiny inconsistencies in tone without flattening the original light-novel flavour. Character names, invented terms and world-specific spellings must remain exactly as written. Please work directly in Microsoft Word and return the file with tracked changes enabled; that single document will be the sole deliverable. If you spot anything that deserves a brief remark, feel free to leave a comment beside it, but the primary record of edits should be the tracked markup. Because the text is already clean, I’m not looking for a heavy rewrite—just the confident touch of a native speaker who loves fantasy fiction and understands how it should read. Turnaround is flexible yet prompt; let me know your availability and any questions you have before you begin.
