For My Future Self

Story Title: 5/5
The title of you’re story caught my interest, although the words were simple they brought in a strong aura for me to be curious enough to read it. Daebak author-nim! ^^

Graphics: 7/10
You didn’t have any posters or background images but you did have a character chart introducing your characters and that was a good thing since you have a bunch of them and it gave the reader an idea on what type of person your characters are like.

Description and Foreword: 10/10
I absolutely fell in love with your description. It had a tinge of sadness but in the end there was a little light of hope growing and I knew immediately it’ll be a good story.

Characterization: 8/10
Your characters were portrayed in a realistic and non-superficial way. I really understood them and there weren’t any of those cliched like characters that everyone seems to be writing these days so kudos to you for originality!

Plot: 38/40
Your plot for “For My Future Self” was an original and it had a very personal feeling towards. I actually read your prequel to this story to get a general idea of where this story was to be headed. Too be honest I was actually a but surprised with the plot, I originally thought there will be something between Baekhyun and Eunji but there wasn’t so that drew me to surprise. The reason why you didn’t get full marks for this section is because I felt at some parts of your story it was a bit dry and lacking something at some moments. But I know that this story’s main theme was friendship and it was still awesome but just maybe for next time add a little twist of romance in between just to keep things interesting.

Consistency: 5/5
I could see the consistency and continuation from your prequel to this story. Your paragraphs and sentences also flowed well from the beginning to the end.
Grammar and writing style: 9/10
You’re spelling and grammar was perfect! No mistakes!!! (YAAYYYY!!)
I really liked your writing style, it had this very mature and calm feeling when you’re reading it and it was easy to follow.

Readers’ Response: 5/5
Judging from other readers responses I can definitely see that you have engaged their interest and had their empathy. Well done! 🙂
Grammar and writing style: /10

Over-all enjoyment: 9/10
I really enjoyed reading your story and it felt nice to read something different for once in a while. You did an excellent job with your character development and plot line, I felt the connection to Baekhyun in every sentence I read and you totally deserve every mark you got.

Total Score: 87/100

Can You Keep A Secret?

Can You Keep A Secret?

Title (9/10):
You changed your story title during the time I was first reading it, but it’s fine. Anyway, I found the new title better, in some sense, it gave a more complicating and mature feel for the story line and it opened up my curiosity to read it. Well done!

Description & Foreword (10/10):
I absolutely loved your foreword and description! You used simple words but yet made it sound complicated and gave a dark and sad aura to the storyline. You even put in a little extract in the story and trailer was amazing! And the character chart was a good idea for this story since well, I found that it was good of you to introduce your characters first since you did tag this story under “twist”. Also yeah, great job for crediting all the peoples you hired! ^^

Graphics (10/10):
Your poster matched with the theme and tone with the story and definitely set in the mood and atmosphere to make the story effective! Your trailer also gave a very dramatic and nice touch. Whoever did your graphics did a brilliant job capturing the essence of it.

Character Development (10/10):
The characters are portrayed in a realistic way, they don’t sound at all superficial. I really admired how you developed and chose the way you created your characters. You did an astounding job with your character development, there were a lot of twist and turns plus unexpected changes in your characters. Daebak author-nim!

Appearance (10/10):
The font that has been used fits the story very well, it is very convenient to read the story. It’s not too large or not too small that it could bother the readers to continue reading. The story is very well structured and therefor easy to follow. I also loved your layouts! They brought the whole story to life and played well with the text!

Originality & Plot (10/10):
This story is definitely an original! It was so cleverly written and you have such great talent and purely big imagination to come up with a plot like this! Words cannot express of emphasise any further how I feel about this section.

Flow (10/10):
Your flow was spot on it flowed beautifully from the beginning to the last chapter! It was like I was in a movie watching scene after scene. Full marks for this one!

Writing (10/10):
Like I said in the originality and plot section, this story was definitely a clever idea. Your ideas are well conveyed in this story and it’s also rather clear how you want the story to go on. It’s very understandable and enjoyable to read your story. Your story played like a movie in my head, I could picture everything very well and your writing was truly beautiful.

Grammar & Spelling (6/10):
There were some grammar and spelling errors in all of the chapters, they weren’t too bad but it’s too much for me to list down. Please go back to them and re-read to fix those mistakes. (I know you’re editing now, so maybe you have fixed some of them 🙂 )

General Enjoyment (9/10):
I can honestly tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed reading and reviewing this story. You did an extravagant job with it and I can see your heart and soul poured into this. You have an amazing gift for writing and all I can do is encourage you to write more!

Total score: 94/100

Comments and thoughts: I think I pretty much written everything I felt about your fic in this review, but I do want to say one more thing regarding to you editing. Next time, can you please not put it through under editing when you request for a review? Not only did not only inconvenience me, but it also frustrated my admin workers a little and made me having to extend my review time and made you wait longer. Normally I take about a week to finish a chaptered request, but because of this I took longer than usual. Anyway, fantastic job and don’t forget to credit the shop and me, plus fix up those errors!
