What a real review should do that an AI summary cannot

A real review does more than summarize a premise and pronounce the book readable. It notices choices. It reacts to scenes. It shows that a person was actually present while reading.

That is why this explanation of how the IndieReader AI review problem was caught matters. It reminds authors what to look for when a review feels overly polished, strangely generic, or detached from the texture of the book itself.

If a quote could fit a dozen novels with only the character names swapped out, it is probably not the kind of review you want representing your work.
