I do know that you are referring to the relationship of the main characters, but the feeling was a bit away from being rated. It’s suited for being a romance story though, seeing as how it was one of the genres but it was not that strong when it comes to a rated one, yet still could give the readers a good vibe of choosing to continue and click on the next button or not.

Poster: 5/5 I try not to judge a book by its cover, but the poster was much fitted to your story which also gives me the angst-y feeling (in which the reason I don’t really know why it’s a not a part of the genres if I am to consider after reading everything but never mind that) and it’s also giving me the right feel while I was reading.

Description + Foreword: 8/10 The description doesn’t tell or reveal too much, and was really making me think that the story should be a great read, which in fact, was a great read so the description wouldn’t be exaggerating but telling the truth, and I like how you make it short, but still can make people feel invited to proceed to the first chapter. I see that the description doesn’t end there but continued in the foreword. Normally, I would’ve given advice to move them to the description part, but in your case, I think they are in the foreword section just fine. You gave credits and whatnot, so the basic is there and I usually focus more on the description, so I don’t have much to say.

Layout: 4.5/5 As for the font, I don’t know about other people but to me, they looked just fine. I would like to suggest for you to probably consider justifying the paragraphs in order to make them neater to read and for the rest of it, I think they’re all just fine. And not that it’s anything big or what, but in the fourth chapter, the first paragraph was in different type of font colour and I’m just pointing it out.

Characterization: 13.5/15 I will answer you first question here. Yes, the characters are indeed developing as they grow through the chapters in stages, and not in a rushing mode so the traits change easily, but in a way that readers would understand and get the logic of it. To make it simple, they are made believable and you have your way in putting them into lives so they wouldn’t seem unreal but the opposite of it instead. Even when they fight with each other, I know for an instant that Kyuhyun would be the one to give up first and Sungmin being the ignorant or rather cold one so it balances and readers could expect the romantic thingy to happen next. One thing that I don’t really get is the way that Sungmin act. At one point, he seems to be really an emotional person who wouldn’t listen to other when he got furious, but at some other times, he seems to be doing so because he really loves and cares about Kyuhyun so it is understandable more or less, but it’s easy to misunderstand if
