Heart Of Stone

Reviewer : Mickey @ RawrOutLoud

Warning : The reviewer has nothing against the author. This is just an honest and strict review which will help the author to improve himself/herself in the next attempt of writing a story. Please do not get angry if there any unpleasant comments.

Title: 3/5
So far, the title doesn`t seem to go along with the story as much. While I was reading your chapters, I had a hard time trying to figure out how the title relates to the story.

Poster/Background: 10/10
The poster is absolutely beautiful. It had a nice vibe to it, and I thought that it went really nice with the story.

Forewords: 5/10
Since the forewords had nothing but the characters, it seemed kind of plain, but it was actually somewhat interesting. You including not only what their like, but a bit of the story plot as well.

Plot: 11/15
This is my first time reading a plot like this. It seemed very different from other stories I read, because I don`t usually read stories that happen AFTER marriage. Also, with Danielle becoming a nanny for the kids, everything seems new to me.

Creativity/Originality: 11/15
Like I said before, everything seems to be original except with the parts when Yunho doesn`t have time for his kids, I`ve read a SOME stories like that. But excluding that, everything seemed to be fine.

Flow: 5/10
I thought the plot seemed to go a bit fast for me. It seemed like it would jump from place to place without you even describing what happened in between those times. You seem to skip times, like… “two days later—“ and stuff like that.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 9/10
I didn`t seem to have any problems with your spelling, actually. I didn`t bother me while I was reading, so that`s a good thing.

Characterization: 6/10
Honestly, I wasn’t able to figure much about the characters. Everything is pretty much that Danielle is a good person and so is Yunho but he doesn`t show it. Also, you haven`t mention that Danielle was a black person until later in the story. You should try to put that she`s a black person in your forewords, because the whole time, I have thought she was a Korean person. Although, I was really able to picture the characters in my mind, because you describe them really well.

Writing Style: 9/10
Your writing style didn`t seem to bug me at all. It was really neat and understandable. It was easy and you described what was going on in small sentences without really leaving much out.

Overall Enjoyment: 4/5
Yes, I really did enjoy this story. To be honest, I check up on your story couple of times a week to see if you have updated. This so far, is a really cute story ^^ I can`t wait for your next chapters ! I won`t be a silent reading, so look out for the username, “mickeyyyxD” because that`s me. LOL

Sub Total: 73/100

Bonus: 2/5
Congrats! You have a new reader, me. (:
I look forward to your next updates !

Love Like Ours by MKL

Author : MKL
Title : Love Like Ours
Link : http://www.winglin.net/fanfic/MKL/
Status : On-going
Reviewer : Anna Sungmin @ RawrOutLoud

Warning : The reviewer may not know the author and vice versa.. We are here to review your fan fiction as honest as we can in order for you to improve. Irritating words and eye-sore critics may appear in this, -directly or indirectly. But all of that is for no other means, except to aid you in improving yourself. I sincerely apologize if my review contains any offensive comments and critiques. Thank you.

Title : 3.5/5
I suppose the title was more to some deep and long-term love, but actually it is not. It is more to lost love, and a new beginning to start the whole thing over again. Two reasons that I can conclude is maybe because 1) It’s still in the early chapters so it doesn’t really bring in the story that much. 2) It is because your title doesn’t perfectly match your current title.

Poster/Background : 7/10
For some point I must say that the poster is pretty good. Although I am not a graphic designer, but I am very peculiar in this sort of thing. I suggest the font and color of the poster’s writing to be more artistic and formal. The font color shouldn’t be neither pink nor white. If you noticed, the girl was wearing a pink dress, so your writing was blended together with her dress, which doesn’t outstand much. Maybe some brushes can help to beautify the poster more.

Forewords : 6/10
Your foreword is too short to even understand the plot, but I appreciate your effort in doing it. [Because some authors don’t bother to put anything in the foreword]. The nice thing is that you included a little summary of the story, but not enough. Put some conversation between them especially between Aaron, Gui and Wang Zi instead of describing how Aaron and Gui were locked together. I think that was a little bit off and unnecessary.

Plot : 14/15
Well, I think from all the Aaron, Gui and Wang Zi’s stories that I’ve ever read, this is the first time I understand the plot. So I’m giving you extra points. The plot is a bit cliché, try to keep that low.

Creativity/ Originality : 12/15
I’ve read the same type of story before so it may not be that original. Credit to your creativity, I don’t know why but I think you’re good in plotting the story by your own creativity. You are able to twist the story and keeping it constant so your readers won’t be bored.

Flow : 8/10
It was fast. The flow was rushed and I feel like Aaron wasn’t playing an important role anymore. Some parts are pretty funny and again, cliché because it was fast and things happen one-after-another.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary : 5.5/10
Try to reduce repeated words. Check your spelling and your grammars, and also tenses. If you can get hold of this, then move on to improving your vocabularies.

ARRANGEMENT OF WORDS.

1) I typed “Hi,” and sent it to his number. I never saved his number. My friend, Ya Tou, gave it to me and just one look, I memorized it already.

Replaced by - I typed ‘Hi.’ and sent it to his number. My friend Ya Tou gave it to me and I could memorize his number by just having one glimpse of it. However, I’ve never saved it in my contact.

2) “Because my girlfriend saw your text. She wanted to get your number but I didn’t give it to her ‘cause she might say or do bad things to you like what she did to my other friend. Goodbye. Thank you (: and take care,” He replied. I was surprised that he still did, but I was more surprised that he wanted to protect me from his girlfriend.

Replaced by-‘My girlfriend saw your text and wanted to get your number, but I wouldn’t allow her cause she might say or do bad things to you like what she did to my other friend. Thank you (: Take care and goodbye,‘ I was surprised that he was still replying my message and wanted to protect me from his girlfriend.

REPEATED.

Example

1) The sun was shining brightly, but instead of having fun, I was looking for my friends. I looked everywhere. But I can’t find them. I didn’t know their rooms, their phones were turned off. I was annoyed. I gave up after an hour and went to a club. I bought a drink and sat there. A guy approached me and said “Hi.”

* First of all, I want to point out about the part “but instead of having fun, I was looking for my friends.” Of course you will have to look for your friends first if you want to have fun. I mean, playing single games are no fun at all. So the mistake here is that you put Gui Gui in the condition where she was going to have fun alone but she had to (More like forcefully) find her friends. I know what you mean was, Instead of enjoying and relaxing, she had to sweat off to find her friends.

*Also, You repeated the word ‘I…. and I…. I….’ a lot. [I looked everywhere. But I can’t find them. I didn’t know their rooms, their phones were turned off. I was annoyed. I gave up after an hour and went to a club. I bought a drink and sat there]

Replaced by-I looked everywhere but it was no avail. They didn’t tell me their room number and to make things worse, they switched off their phones and I could barely reach them. I felt so helpless and I grunted in annoyance. After an hour, I gave up and went to the club to buy a drink.

*There are a lot of mistakes but If I were to point out all, I think it takes more time. So I’m giving you the basic mistakes for you to avoid. Learn from that and you will slowly do better in your next chapters.

OTHERS

Example.

1) “The Prince admits defeat.” What does that mean? I wanted to ask, but was really chicken to do so. I went online and tried to see if he would talk to me. I changed my status to: “You’re the one I love.” I guess he noticed I was online because he IMed me.

Replaced by-

‘The Prince admits defeat.’

What does that mean? I wanted to ask, but was really CHICKENED to do so. I SET my status to 'Online’ and see if he would talk to me. I changed my personal message to: ‘You’re the one I love’. That’s when he IMed me.

Characterization : 8.5/10
I focused on those three main roles, but I wouldn’t concentrate much on their other friends so it was pretty okay.

Writing style : 8/10
Your writing style is okay. All you need to do is separate it when different people are talking. Some of your sentences are a bit hanging and cut off.

Overall enjoyment : 3.5/5
The first Aaron, Gui and Wang Zi’s story that I understand what the plot is about. Well done. (This is probably because I read less Taiwan fan fictions.)

Sub total : 76/100

Bonus : 2/5

Well done (: pretty impressive mark.

Title: 3/5
VERY Common.
I've read a few stories with that title, sorry to say.

Poster/Background: 5/10
I only gave you half points because there is no background.
I like the poster, although you could have put Arron with another girl, to show he is a PLAYA! ^-^

Forewords: 7/10
In my perspective, the way you described the characters is pretty much the same. You kept repeating "TYPICAL". You should be more descriptive.
And the summary, was okay. It didn't really want me to go further. I'm sorry.

Plot: 12/15
It's quite common actually.

Creativity/Originality: 13/15
I like how you put the clothes, and links.

Flow: 7/10
It kinda went too fast for my liking.
Also, before jumping to when Hebe comes to Taiwan, you should have put a few chapters on how they all met in America.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 6/10
Numerous mistakes,
CCJ: HEBE UR BACK WE MISSED U
We're not texting, No Offense.
You could have said : "Hebe, You're back! We missed you!" Calvin,Chun, Jiro said in unison, ecstatically.
I don't really get how she is "back".

Characterization: 5/10
You kinda exaggerated on how they act. -_-"

Writing Style: 5/10
I do not like script form. I'm not being biased here, it doesn't help describe the story.

Overall Enjoyment: 3/5
It was quite enjoyable. He he, my criticism only lasts a few good times. ^-^

Devil may cry by Taemin / Yunnie

Irritating words and eye-sore critics may appear in this, -directly or indirectly. But all of that is for no other means, except to aid you in improving yourself. I sincerely apologize if my review contains any offensive comments and critiques. Thank you.

Title : 3/5
To say that your title is okay is just not it. It is in between. Let’s just say that it doesn’t reveal the whole plot of your story YET. I believe that sooner it will :D

Poster/Background : 7/10
The red color is okay, since you’re portraying a devil here. The pictures of them are neatly done but not that ‘glowing’. The text is too blended and it will not (50-50) grasp the attention of your readers. By looking at it, I know that your characters are a lot, and only half of their faces were shown and mostly are close ups. The quality is okay, although I will like it better to see an artistic work.

Forewords : 1/10
Sorry, but I guess you’ve noticed that you only put these..

“One game.
Twenty players.
Ten standing at the end.”

It doesn’t reveal anything at all.

After that you started saying about applying in your fic. Even if this is an apply fic, a small introduction is appreciated to spice up the story before it started. The three lines above are better to go with the poster as a small “quote.”

Plot : 12/15
The plot was similar to what I’ve reviewed/ read before. It’s about a gap between the two groups and the “mystery” of DBSK signing out from SM entertainment. Which is predictable of what’s going to happen. I know that you have the great plot in your mind, you just need to slowly push them in one by one.

Creativity/ Originality : 12/15
Originality… is maybe because of your own plotting line of the story. I will not say that the story is original itself but maybe I will say that it is original because the author made it herself. I have nothing much to say here as maybe you know the reason why.

Flow : 7/10
It went fast at the early chapters. I know that your characters are mostly your readers and you don’t want to disappoint them so you tried to put them in as many as you can without realizing that it had disturbed your content. Imagine the girls talking, and all of a sudden, the other characters barged in. It’s like having those stage drama where you don’t know where the actors and actresses came from and they just popped out randomly.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary : 6.5/10
Spelling mistakes and superfluous part are often seen in your story. Also with the grammar. Try to use big vocabularies to enhance your story even more. Nobody is perfect in this. They will at least make a mistake before getting to the perfect one.

Characterization : 5/10
Like before, there are too many characters. Imagine.. 20 characters for me to remember? Sorry, but I was confused. (Except for some girls because I know them :D). But anyway, it’s good.

Writing style : 6/10
Please separate if there’s someone new talking. Do not pack the whole conversation into one even if it’s in the same topic. Different casts should have different starting line. You changed your writing style over and over, I don’t know if you purposely did that or that’s just the way you write it according to your mood. Remember to separate when it is necessary.

Overall enjoyment : 3/5
It’s quite interesting. ^^ I would say that as long as you enjoy writing, I am sure your readers will do too.

Sub total : 62.5/100

Bonus : 3/5
For being nice to your readers and leaving message on each chapters. You deserve this. And yeah, remember about your forewords okay? ^^ Do something with it.

New blood? Yeah Right! by Teriyaki18

Title : New blood? Yeah Right!
Link : http://www.winglin.net/fanfic/derekke/
Status : On-Going
Reviewer : Anna Sungmin @ RawrOutLoud

Warning : The reviewer may not know the author and vice versa. We are here to review your fan fiction as honest as we can in order for you to improve. Irritating words and eye-sore critics may appear in this, -directly or indirectly. But all of that is for no other means, except to aid you in improving yourself. I sincerely apologize if my review contains any offensive comments and critiques. Thank you.

Title : 4/5
The title is cute and is quite affectionate to me. But since I am more to the person who digs everything deeply, I want more than just the term ’New blood’. I didn’t expect this to be a vampire fic by looking at the title. So maybe that is the reason why you gain your mark, at the same time, to lose a point.

Poster/Background : 9/10
I’m going to split this into two, overall poster and also the theme to match with the mood. The poster is well done. I’m being completely honest here. The art and pictures are very clear indeed. But to match with the plot I think it is lacking a little bit of something. Still, it is lovely. (except for JiYong’s cartoon prints that disturbed the mood a bit XD)

Forewords : 8/10
Your forewords is fine, but I think you should involve the two cousins’ mission too. JiYong and Xiah have their own secret lives and it would be nice to see them in your forewords. Since those two twins are fictional, JiYong and Xiah’s appearance is important.

Plot : 14/15
First thing I will have to say is, I am not a big fan of any vampire fic. (Might as well say that Edward Cullen freaks me off a bit =___=) but I think you managed it well with Victoria and Violet. The two sisters make it different and more outstanding. Not to mention JiYong and Xiah’s behavior which amused me a lot.

Creativity/ Originality : 14/15
Like before, I liked how you twisted the story and not keeping it like a total vampire fic. Xiah as a witch really surprised me, in a good way. It is funny, I must admit. I hate reading those boring, simple lines of vampires, but because your story is more than just a vampire fic, I love it. The part when that blind girl didn’t notice that it was her mobile phone ringing was really funny to me. (Not to mention that her ringing tone was Aqua song - Barbie girl.) Good choice. A little humor makes someone’s day better :D

Flow : 9/10
The flow was going fine. I shall say that it is almost good. But when you mentioned that Victoria was going to meet her boyfriend, which is Xiah, I was a bit puzzled there. Like, “how come I’ve never heard about their relationship before?”. But together, it was good.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary : 8/10
At the beginning, it went smoothly and you concentrated in every area. I liked on how you put up the introduction. But chapter by chapter, I spotted few spelling mistakes and wrong usage of grammar, but only a slight one though. You need not worry because everyone did this. In order to learn, we must at least experience mistakes right? However, if you want to make sure of it, you can recheck before posting it up. : )

Characterization : 8.5/10
Although I don’t really know much about those girls and their pasts, I’m going to skip that. Your characters are very good indeed. (Except for the part where I mentioned about Xiah’s and Victoria’s relationship). And because the two girls are fictional, it took me more time to read them like a book and get familiar with them.

Writing style : 10/10
It was good as it didn’t confuse me. :D

Overall enjoyment : 5/5
I enjoyed this story really well. I had to delay the review for some days because I had so much things coming in. Finally, after I had the time, I directly read it. It was pretty good. If only I have lots of free time, I would surely subscribe your story. (Oh, sorry for the delayed review btw :D)

Sub total : 89.5/100

Bonus : 3/5
Keep on writing those funny lines. :D
Kwon JiYong and Junsu, a good mix :D
“Stop poking her breast.”
Roll in the humor! :D

Brown Sugar Macchiato 2: A New Cup by asian_chic 808

Irritating words and eye-sore critics may appear in this, -directly or indirectly. But all of that is for no other means, except to aid you in improving yourself. I sincerely apologize if my review contains any offensive comments and criticism. Thank you.

Title : 3/5
Without reading your story and only experimenting the title, I can only bring up that this story consist of new, fresh and delightfully gorgeous script. Brown Sugar Macchiato tells me more about café life, or even bittersweet story in between cute mood and happy teens.. The phrase of “A New Cup” means something more different, and I was expecting literally from 'a new cup'. A new cup which I don’t expect it to be like this. To summerize it, the title doesnt really matches the story/plot.

Poster/Background : 9/10
I was going to give you perfect ten, but then I changed my mind because I noticed that your link is in blue.- dark blue, which doesn’t even match with soft pink. I can forgive you about the green text, since it is after all… light and soft. But not the blue one. The poster is good, because it finally shows “A new cup” or perhaps, Mocha maybe?

Forewords : 2/10
I was really shocked to see this as I was expecting an introduction, perhaps a short one at least. I know that most of your readers are Taiwan fans, but what if when a new reader comes reading your story and she or he is not a big fan of Taiwanese characters (but would love to read your story)? Would you shoo her/him from reading your story, or would you rather spend your time in introducing a little bit of the story’s plot? It’s up to you. But I would suggest you to open up and leak the story a bit.. 2 points for introducing how many characters you have.

Plot : 9/15
I’m very sorry to say that I didn’t get to the plot even when I passed the 10th chapter. I cannot grasp on what the story is bringing. Example, you’re using a play script and the chapters are too short for a play script format. Unless you’re doing direct speeches. This is probably due to the characters that you are playing with; they are too many to control. Alas, it disturbed your content. Through each chapter, I can only portray little, imaginative scene. And the rest didn’t allure me.

Creativity/ Originality : 11/15
I’m not going to be too hard on this one. I can give you some marks for originality because I’m being lenient now, and I don’t want you to feel degraded. Your story will be much better if you plot more creativity, such as arousing the characters’ real personalities, because I can’t really see much of their uniqueness in this. They’re being completely plain and undisturbed. I would like to see some sensitivity in them, or even some conscience.

Flow : 7/10
Again, maybe because of your enormous characters, it went too draggy and fast. Maybe you would not notice it, but I believe some of your “careful” readers do. Take the part where Arron came in, it surprised me when he suddenly asked Gou Gou out and had feelings for her. That’s just too sudden.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary : 6/10
Your vocabulary usage is small and little, practice more and you will eventually do better in your next attempt. Grammar mistakes are spotted in many areas, also the spelling errors.

Characterization : 5/10
Reaching this, you may already know the reason why you lost the other half mark. Yes, it’s because of your enormous characters. I couldn’t do much in this as I’ve already told you about it earlier. But these are some things that you can take into considerations.

1) Decide on who are the main characters. To make it easy for you, make the main character for maximum of five. If you still want to involve the other girls and boys, do them as minors. It reduces the confusion and burden in controlling them.

2) Because you have so many characters, it would be better if you DON’T write it in play script. It headbanged me so much.

[Wang Zi approaches Gui Gui from behind and puts his hands over Gui Gui’s eyes]

WZ: Guess who!

GG: [starts panicking and thinks to herself] Oh no..is this Wang Zi or Aaron? Wait..why would Aaron put his hands over my eyes..Just to make sure I should...

*light bulb goes on*

[Gui Gui moves her body downward and turns super fast and is relieved to see that it’s Wang Zi]

GG: Oh hey...it’s you

WZ: Who else could it be?

GG: Nothing..nobody..nobody

[Gui Gui wraps her arms around Wang Zi, feeling confused about everything]

REPLACE THEM WITH:-

Wang Zi silently approached Gui Gui from behind and wrapped his hands on Gui Gui’s eyes, blocking her sight.

“Guess who?” Wang Zi attacked a question, smiling sheepishly while waiting for his girlfriend to respond.

Gui Gui panicked as she her mind wasn’t at ease; she was thinking of Aaron and the question nagged her more. She debated with herself whether it was Aaron or Wang Zi. Dumbstruck between two, she decided to relocate the question and avoid it.

Gui Gui slipped her body downwards, freeing herself from Wang Zi’s hold. She was relieved to see that it was Wang Zi after all.

“Hey, it’s you.”

Wang Zi looked a little dumbfounded and disturbed, yet he didn’t want to put it up and show it to her, “Who else could it be?”

“Oh, no one.” She denied and enveloped Wang Zi with her warm embrace, leaving him in confusion.

3) If You still want to write in play script, then don’t use abbreviations for names. Keep Gui Gui as “Gui Gui, not GG.”

Writing style : 8/10
Not much for a play script, but good.

Overall enjoyment : 2/5
Wasn’t really enjoying the story because the characters are torturing me and making me confused D: but when Aaron came, it did spice up the story a bit.

Sub total : 62/100

Bonus : 3/5
I’ll give you extra 3 marks but please promise me three things. Okay?

1) Promise me that no matter what happens, you won’t be degraded, or feel upset about the review. I am being lenient enough to not let your spirit down.
2) Promise me that you will keep on writing, and never give up. I know you will be a good writer one day.
3) Promise me that you will never let anyone pulls you, or mock you. Stand up for yourself and continue writing for your readers. They are your supporter and they love you so much, You have the potential :D

It’s a sequel, so everyone expected it to be like that. But if you’re planning to have more readers than the previous one you had, you can put another sentence next to the real title.

Both of them look really great together. It portrays the character as an art; a valuable art. But the round, butterfly thing disturbed it a bit. Otherwise, it is perfect. The background color is good.

Forewords : 2/10
We may know what had happened in the previous story, but you still have to add something considering that your introduction is too short and simple. You added questions; which is good, but not much for grasping attention and telling your plot.

Plot : 14/15
I liked this one better than before. Being myself, I wouldn’t waste my time reading on people’s live after marriage, I thought that they’re only going to live together and have a perfect ending. But the twists and turns that you added in your stories (1&2) proved that I am wrong. I know that such thing will happen, but I didn’t expect that much. Congratulation.

Creativity/ Originality : 13/15
If before, you did well, this time you did better. I love the whole thing that was going on between them and how Ri In preserves her virginity even though she really loves Junsu. They only did it after they’re married. Also, for putting Eun Hee as an evil witch but at the same time, you neutralizes her into someone with sad past. You made each and every characters to live their own weaknesses in such melancholic aura. The solitary moment that Eun Hee experienced paralleled with her cruelness, and it was depressing on how Hee Bon actually loved her twin sister even though she acted like she’s neglecting her.

Flow : 10/10
Very, very good.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary : 6/10
As I said earlier, this is normal mistakes anyone could have done. Even me, I admit. Your past and present tense were mixed, but it’s okay. There’s some spelling mistakes. Simple and unique vocabulary will be better in writings; which you did put them in.

Characterization : 10/10
I feel like every characters have their own life and they are living inside them. For once, I thought that I was watching a drama instead of reading. Usually when reading long fan fictions, I would pause and continue next time. But not this, I had to press ‘Next’ until I reached the ending.

Writing style : 8/10
Very neat and clean. Spaced out. But mind your punctuations and I’ve suggested for you to use ‘YOUR THOUGHTS HERE.’ instead of {YOUR THOUGHTS HERE} in your previous review.

Overall enjoyment : 6/5
I don’t care if the maximum mark is 5, I’m giving you 6 because I really like it. Remind me again, who stayed up all night just to read the next chapter? And when she went to the toilet, she had to rush because she can’t wait to read the next one. Oh, that was me. =.=;
Good job for making me.. Err.. Stay up all night. :D

Bonus : 5/5
I rarely give perfect 5 in this unless they really deserve it.

Sealed heart of an angel by Phoebe aka Phebs

Author : Phoebe aka Phebs
Title : Sealed heart of an angel
Link : http://www.winglin.net/fanfic/phoebe321/
Status : Completed
Reviewer : Anna Sungmin @ RawrOutLoud

Warning : The reviewer may not know the author and vice versa. We are here to review your fan fiction as honest as we can in order for you to improve. Irritating words and eye-sore critics may appear in this, -directly or indirectly. But all of that is for no other means, except to aid you in improving yourself. I sincerely apologize if my review contains any offensive comments and criticism. Thank you.

Title : 5/5
I like the title very much. Take it because it matches Junsu’s cold personality and also his randomness in some unexplained things. It shows that the angel’s heart is sealed and it may need only certain person to unseal it..

Poster/Background : 7/10
The poster is too plain where Junsu and Ri In’s pictures are a little too blended.. The font didn’t match the texture and the mood. However, due to the readable fonts, I ignored the whole poster. Add quotes; or perhaps a little image of Hee Bon. (I am sure many would love to see her), but also not to forget to only put Hee Bon in the poster as a minor girl, or it will disturb the atmosphere of Junsu and Ri In together.

Forewords : 3/10
The forewords is too short to even tell the readers of what’s going on. I expected more explaination on each characters and a little scene of them. I don’t really mind whether it’s Ri In or Junsu, or the part where they both meet. As long as you’re making your readers satisfied and grab their whole attention. It seems like your first chapter can be turned into a foreword (Not saying all, just half or maybe the important bits).

Plot : 13/15
The plot is well thought of and organized. It is interesting and alluring. I like the whole idea of making Junsu a cold-guy, even though he’s always playful in my POV. It’s really good to see that. Some parts are a bit unexplained and hanging; I’ll leave that out because I can totally work with it.

Creativity/ Originality : 12/15
Not much for originality. To be frank, I dislikes stories with cold-blooded person and such. They are arrogant and also demanding. It makes me want to jump on them and scramble their faces. But I guess I was wrong when I read your fic. Although it may be somewhat normal, but the creativity that you pulled in into the story is very awesome and very, very good. It didn’t bore me till the end and I kept on reading and not daring to miss any words. You should thank your creativity for making this as if it is an original piece.

Flow : 8/10
It was okay. The flow went smoothly. It’s not dragged and rushed, because you have a lot of chapters to slowly tell the story. However, the early chapters were too short. I would prefer the ending and closing chapters, which is not too long and not too short. Readers’ view is important too, so you must leave them with short chapter, unless it is a preview.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary : 8/10
Spotted few spelling errors and your grammars are a bit wrong. I was confused on whether you were trying to tell in present or in the past. Because at one time, I spotted past tenses, and then you’re back with present tenses. Your usage of vocabulary is good. You explained in details on their movements, reactions and so on.

Characterization : 9/10
Congratulation. I am happy that you managed to bring everyone’s personality out. Also, for making them not left out. Hee Bon is something I found very interesting. Ri In is just too cute for me; and I love it. You brought new characters and didn’t mess with the whole story.

Writing style : 9/10
Now, for thoughts I would suggest you to use ‘YOUR THOUGHS HERE’ rather than {YOUR THOUGHTS HERE}
It makes you writing neater and more formal. The rest is spaced out. Your direct speech is okay and good enough. Keep it up. Maintain the sufficient, descriptive writing with the direct speeches. This way, your readers wont be bored.

Overall enjoyment : 5/5
Wheee~ *Bows to Phebs* I did say I enjoyed the chapters really well until I had to stay overnight and read the continuation. =.=; But really, I wouldn’t do that (and wait until morning comes) if it’s not that interesting. So you made me Good job, Phebs!
