I am in the final stages of writing a sequel to my novel, (130,000 words) and need outside eyes and perspective for its development

I have had some phenomenal experiences with freelancers, and some horrible experiences.
I have learned a lot, and I have been surprised; sometimes, the most insightful advice / suggestions / reviews were from people who love reading, and stories for their own sake.
And sometimes, I felt the most cheated from those who had the most impressive CV's concerning literature.
Not because those with more experience/education are more critical. But rather most have some inability to say little more than "your writing stinks, read (insert author) they are better." No direction for growth, specialists in critical analysis; able to point out flaws no one but the most intelligent and refined minds could notice... and have seemingly left imagination and dreams beyond reach and desire.
And so, here is how I want to try this job posting.
Attached, is a document that asks the Freelancer (you) a few questions.
Answer them however you see fit.
These questions are geared to gain insight into how (you) the freelancer thinks. And mastery of English.
Please note; It is highly unlikely that I will hire a freelancer whose first language is not English. To date; I have yet to receive a positive experience from a non-native English language freelancer concerning literature.
Of the applicants here, I will give no more than 5 individuals a PDF of the book I have written.
The job pays $50 for a read/review of the novel.
However-
After all individuals complete the read/review; only those individuals will have eligibility to win a (guaranteed for $800) contest for the best analysis/suggestion model of the novel.
The other analysis/models that have genuine effort shall be purchased for $200

TL;DR

Answer the questions provided.
Those with the best answers receive a PDF of the book.
A read / review (approx 75+ words) of the book pays $50. And gives the freelancer exclusive access to a contest (book analysis and suggestion model) that is guaranteed for $800.
Chances of winning the contest = 1/5
Hi there,
I am definitely more a reader than I am a writer - I have always loved to read, and go through several books a month. My favorite genre is mystery (cozy mysteries - I'm not a fan of blood and gore) as well as historical romances, some fantasy, books on nutrition and wellness, etc. I have many interests.
I am also a Christian, and am intrigued by the genre of Christian fantasy. I'd love to read your book(s).
I am currently working as a Human Resources professional but am hoping to transition to freelancing very soon. I proofread/copy edit, and I write a little.
Please message with more information.
Thank you for taking the time to read my proposal.
Regards,
Donna
