I like your new, more personal approach to reviews a lot. It's taken me too long to realize it, but what I personally want from a review of a hobby product is not whether it's awesome or terrible against some lofty scale of Platonic-ideal quality. I own too many "bad" game products (that I got lots of use out of) and "good" ones (that gathered dust on my shelf) for that kind of review to be very useful.
In TTRPGs, your use of and relationship to a game product is going to be particularly idiosyncratic and personal, so it's helpful to read a fellow hobbyist (who ideally shares some of my gaming goals) depict their own relationship to it... that may be highly subjective but it's more useful than somebody trying to decide if "Keep on the Borderlands" should have four stars or five.
Hello James, yours is a completely understandable position!
My question for you is different though: would you accept a comp copy of my revised game and/or my last two adventures just to have your comments/opinion on a private base? I am not looking at all for public reviews, I would be both honored and happy to get an educated feedback though! Thanks in any case and may the fun be always at your table!
I'd be happy to receive them, though I'm not sure how quickly I'd be able to read or comment on them. So long as time is not of the essence, go ahead and send them to me.
Thanks for accepting my works, James! Later I will send you via email the digital copies! If you like printed copies, I can send them as well however it'll take some time. Neither time nor the need of a public feedback are a constraint, therefore take all the time you need and once you've done, pls send me the feedback via mail. Thanks again and may the fun be always at your table!
Honestly, really appreciate the more personal reviews. Nothing is quite like “I bought this with my own money and have to share it with people.”

All that to say: I appreciate your approach!
