Same blanket response as everyone else. I wish there was more specific details on what to work on.

"Thank you for the opportunity to see your pages. Unfortunately, I don't feel I am the right agent for this project, so I'm passing. Just because I wasn't quite drawn in, however, doesn't mean there isn't another agent out there who will love it. I encourage you to re-work your query so that the plot points, obstacles, and character(s) attempts to overcome them are more clear.

I wish you the best of luck on your writing journey!

Best,
Kiki"
