The Perfect Ten

"Kang Mina is a student who has the ability to measure how dangerous people are from a scale of 1 to 10. A normal child is a 1, while a man with assault rifle might be a 7. But today, the unassuming cheerful new kid at school, Byun Baekhyun, measures a 10, and she's more than glad to unwrap the mystery that is his truth." is the plot of the story. The storyline is already planned from A to Z, but I would like somebody to give me their ideas as well, and see what's best for the readers and for myself as the author.

@fangirlonsteriods It's a description : I found it very small, neat and easy to work with to attract people who already know the prompt and see my own take on this. But if I were to give advice, nobody credits tumblr because everybody knows it's from tumblr, precisely from a site that freely offers these prompts.

@Luhan-Girl yeah i know people take ideas from tumblr, but you've taken the words exactly from the prompt and replaced the names so i think you should credit that part.

@fangirlonsteriods I guess I should credit, but a lot of users use various prompts from tumblr (&pinterest) and don't feel the need to credit since the owner published them to use freely, as way for them to have their own take on the prompt :D

@Luhan-Girl Yeah! Haha. Sometimes a great idea like this can be hindered by romanticizing and glorification, but I guess you will do this plot justice, seeing how you plan on executing this one. Best of luck on writing your story! :D

syliviaplant : Oh my gosh, it seems you and I have the same point of view. I'm focusing on creating a character with 3d characteristics, but with a little twist intertwined with the character's past. And as you said : it's not cliché, as long as you make it human and relatable. For the fantasy part, it will be playing a huge part in the plot twist I'm preparing for the story. I will also focus on the perspective of justice and power, which will play a huge role in the story.

If this was mine, I think this is going to be more interesting if this is set on the normal world or realm. It would be interesting to see the struggles of a teenager having unique abilities in such (let's be honest) judgmental society, so she hides, and thus you can incorporate more of the psychological theme into it. A supernatural realm can be cheesy, and will make any great plot cheesy, if overused or is exaggerated in some ways. And I know that the plot I'm suggesting is, in a manner, cliche as well, but picture this: How are you going to live your life if you are a different teenager, maybe in a very special way, but you don't see it because the world you live in are formed in sets of rules and standards that in some or another aspect you deviate from? How are you going to live your life trying to hide/get rid of a gift that you think is a curse, because no one so it as a gift, so you don't. Cliche? Yes, definitely. But...that's what makes it more believable, right? More human. Because we're all going through it; someone's got to admit that, without romance and glory, someone's gotta say "I feel like a piece of --I have this special thing, I can't openly use it, people hate me for it, but I'm stuck with it, so therefore I'm cursed."If it is told the right way, with less bs and more truths, you can even hook me in as a reader. If you put the 3D characteristic and dynamic of an actual person into your character (even if she's scared, she can't be too fragile; even if she has strength, she can't be too reliant on it; even if she's good, she always doesn't think that, but not in a self-pity kind of way; or even if she thinks she's the worst person, she doesn't show it or let anyone tell her that because it's different when you say it to yourself and other people tell it to you, etc.), you can make this plot yours, even play with different genres of fantasy, because it has great potential.

Sorry about my scatterbrain thoughts LOL I hope you got my point unu

LeeChaeYoung : Yes, it's actually a fantasy story, however thriller, mystery and psychological genres will be incorporated as well.

Well, I was going with that idea at first : A world ruled by monsters, each one of the monsters have a danger level. There is one girl who can tell who is the strongest, and then it will a one on thousands showdown battle. However, I thought of the world making and supernatural to be far more used than a regular one which can be exploited in many different ways, using time, memory and perspective.

Ooo that's sounds interesting. Unfortunately I'm not a Baekhyun fan, however you definitely choose your protagonist to your liking. I'm curious what it means to be a 10 lol. I'm open to how a writer should be unique and be themselves when it comes to writing. So I won't be able to give you much critique until I read more. But so far, I think it's an interesting plot. One question: is it more sci-fi fantasy? Or did I get the wrong idea from the plots review?

Actually I'm really liking the way it's going, your plot reminded me of someone eles(but obviously both of yours is different) if it was me I would make it more supernatural. Like have a society, where there rankings from the strongest monster to the weakest but there people who can tell their ranking but cheat the system with that ability
I don know, it's very confusing but I like your idea so far and see nothing wrong with it
