I can't give a genuine review as yet, since it doesnt work on a certain site I use, which is webnovel for reasons I don't know, please fix if possible.

I just can't figure out how to use it and see no instructions for use. Could you make it more clear how to use it?

The best free option available. It;s not ram hungry like Grammarly or prowriting aid. Catches spelling, writing style and concisness. Good for writers.
