A full-manuscript scan.
Issues by severity.
Hit Review and the engine reads your entire manuscript, every chapter, every scene. It returns a structured report on a dedicated Review tab: issues flagged by category, ranked by severity, with direct passage references you can click through to fix.
The scarf Elena finds in the attic is described as "her mother's blue silk" in Ch 2. In Chapter 4 it is referred to only as "the scarf" — the color and material are lost. This is a cross-chapter continuity break that a reader will notice.
Thomas is described as arriving at the house "Tuesday afternoon." But Ch 1 ends on a Wednesday (Elena checks her watch: "Wednesday, 4:12 PM"). Thomas cannot arrive the day before Elena unless the timeline is non-linear here — and nothing signals that.
Elena uses contractions 14 times in this scene ("I'm," "don't," "wasn't"). In Ch 1 and Ch 4 she uses almost none. Her established speech pattern is precise and formal — this scene breaks it without apparent emotional justification.

Full-manuscript scan
Every chapter at a glance.
One click scans the entire manuscript, not a single chapter. The Review tab shows issues grouped by chapter, so you can see where the problems cluster. Some chapters are clean. Others need work. The overview tells you where to focus.
Severity levels
Not everything is equally broken.
Issues are ranked by how much they would confuse a reader. Fix the criticals first. Warnings are judgment calls. Info is for the perfectionist.
A reader will notice this. Factual contradictions, timeline breaks, characters in two places, objects that change description across chapters.
Worth considering. Voice shifts, pacing anomalies, scenes without movement. May be intentional, but the engine flags them so you can decide.
Things to be aware of. Unresolved threads, characters who disappear for long stretches, setups without payoff. Often deliberate, but good to see listed.
How it works
Scan. Review. Click through. Fix.
One button scans the entire manuscript. Every chapter. Every scene. Every passage.
Results appear on a dedicated Review tab, not in your editor. Your writing stays untouched.
Filter by Critical, Warning, or Info. Navigate by chapter. Each issue shows the exact passage.
"Go to passage" jumps you to the editor, cursor on the line. Fix it, mark resolved, or dismiss.
What it catches
The things a human editor finds on a second read.
Story Review doesn't judge your writing. It looks for structural and factual inconsistencies, the kind an editor charges $3,000 to find on a developmental pass.
Objects that change description. Dates that don't add up. Characters in two places at once. Details that contradict across chapters.
Voice shifts. Motivation gaps. Relationships that appear without setup. Characters who vanish for 50 pages.
Chapters that run long relative to their neighbors. Scenes without movement. Dialogue-heavy stretches that might benefit from a break.
Plot threads introduced and never resolved. Setups without payoffs. Questions raised that the manuscript never answers.
