Letting Go by `shinee

Story Title: Letting Go

Reviewer: DarkAngel | lostshadows.co.nr

Title: 5/5

-Just by looking at the title you can judge it's going to be an angst story! It goes along with the story and tells a lot.


Poster/Background: 10/10

-Beautiful poster and beautiful background! It gives off a relaxing vibe. I love it! The poster is so neatly designed, and the colors blend in together really well! It looks peaceful, yet sad at the same time. Reading the text is easy too. Full points!


Forewords: 5/5

-Nice preview! It got me interested and into the mellow mode already. It looks about the right length- not too long and not too short.


Plot: 15/15

-Usually, I wouldn't be reading stories like this. I would just stick to happy or suspenseful ones. This got me interested in the angst genre. I haven't seen an angst fanfic like this before. The plot is slightly different from others. It made me cry while reading it, and I love the song. It's also a nice way to express the feeling and emotions.


Flow: 10/10

-It had a nice flow to it. The pace wasn't too fast, nor too slow. It was just right! The flashback fitted in perfectly.


Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 15/15

-I didn't spot any spelling or grammar errors. Your vocabulary was broad enough. You sure do a good job at editing! Either that, or you don't make mistakes when typing.


Characterization: 9/10

-Like I said earlier, you showed the characters' emotions well. Music is a great way to express one's feelings. It's also very popular. However, I was kind of hoping for a different point of view.


Originality: 10/10

-It's as original as it can get. It isn't a complete copy of other plots because you changed things up a bit. How much more different can it get?


Writing style: 9/10

-I don't really like reading huge paragraphs. It looks kind of messy and unorganized, but it's fine. Other than that, the format looks neat enough.


Overall enjoyment: 9/10

-It was pretty good, I admit, but there's something I wished that could have been added. I don't know exactly what it is, but I just have this strange feeling!


Overall score: 97/100

*This is one of the highest scores I have ever given. Be grateful XD LOL Just kidding

And You Thought One Lie Couldn't Hurt by Susan Lee

Author: Susan Lee
Story Title: And You Thought One Lie Couldn't Hurt

*Even though it shows up as complete, I can only read up to chapter 14. Did you delete it, because I can’t access it.


Title: 5/5

-The title was interesting. It caught my eye, and I could tell that it wasn’t going to be one of those “happy” stories. It’s a little long for my liking, but it suits the story well.


Poster/Background: 7/10

-The poster looks really nice! There’s a sad touch to it. The blends of colors really mix together good, and the character pictures just top it off. The text is nice and easy to read too. Because there is no background, I have to deduct some points off.


Forewords: 4/5

-That was a very nice preview! It was really sad, and it put me in one of those ‘moods’ as they call it. You introduced us to Yoobin’s personality and thoughts, so kudos for that, but I think that you could have added an introduction of the other characters. Other than that, it was good!


Plot: 15/15

-It’s really good so far! You keep adding twists, and keep the audience wanting more! I barely know what’s going to happen since you always add different things! It’s always interesting, and I can’t tear my eyes off for one second :) It’s exciting and suspenseful to know what’s going to happen next.


Flow: 10/10

-The flow was good. It wasn’t too fast, nor was it too slow. From the beginning, to the end, the events all flow together well. Nothing seems out of place. Each event is important to the story as it progresses.


Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 14/15

-I only spotted one or two mistakes. You either check over your writing, or don’t make many mistakes. Kudos for that!


Characterization: 10/10

-As the story went on, I found myself liking the characters- even Jessica! The way Yoobin began to change was smooth, along with the other main characters. Taecyeon likes her again, but Jay is the only one that I’m sad about. It’s interesting to see how they react to the upcoming events. Unlike many other fanfiction stories, the plot isn’t realistic. This, however, can be imagined in real life.


Originality: 9/10

-The rivalry and blackmailing is seen often, but the others are unique. I would have never guessed how Jay figured out that Yoobin really didn’t slap Jessica. Keep it up, and your readers will be rooting for more!


Writing style: 10/10

-I really don’t have a problem with your writing style! You write complete sentences, and create full paragraphs. The spacing is fine, and the format looks neat and clean!


Overall enjoyment: 10/10

-I really enjoyed every minute of it! It was interesting to read, and I wish I can read more! Full points for ‘overall enjoyment’!


Overall score: 94/100
