...WHO LIES IN MY BED?

AUTHOR: Eunriehyun

REVIEWED BY: 170100

 

TITLE: 3/5

The title, … Who Lies In My Bed, indicates that the story will involve suspense and curiosity as well as mystery. This means that the title has a connection to the plot itself as your story involves all of this. However, I did not give a full mark because your title, although is connected to your plot, does not really connect to the story itself. Yes, the story was talking about who lies in his bed, etc. but it doesn't really revolve much around that as you, the narrator, told the story and not the characters. The title is eye-catching though and it will make readers curious about your story. However, the title is quite unusual given that you added (…) before the title itself. Because of this, it can give readers a sense/vibe of how your story could be a bit immature because your title seems informal just by adding the (…) so I suggest leaving it out.

 

FOREWORD/DESCRIPTION: 4.5/10

To be completely honest with you, dear, the description of your story is horrific. The description is such a drag and I'm trying to be as polite here as possible. I don't think it's relevant to write such a summary of the story! You have given everything, and I repeat, EVERYTHING away! This is not good enough, I'm sorry. Have you ever read an actual summary before? The summary should be precise and easy to follow through. It should also give us readers a feel of curiosity throughout. You should not drag the description of the story and talk about the main events that will occur throughout because readers will not be happy. They want a summary where it does not give everything away. It's okay to have a few 'drop-bomb' here and there but do not ever write a summary of a story which gives everything away. It bores readers and they'll already know what will happen because your description have given us a walk-through. I think you should revise again and edit the description of your story. Do not write a huge paragraph. Write at least 2-3 sentences to explain what the story may contain.  Honestly, if you take this to heart, it would be much appreciated because you have a lot to work on (your tenses is a BIG must as well; you need to proof-read over and over again). Ooh! I forgot to add another thing regarding the description of your story. First of all, you typed down in the beginning of the description about Hyukjae's twin brother, Eunhyuk, who runs into trouble, and is forced to move in with Hyukjae and Donghae. This. THIS. This is a big error! Because as I was reading, Eunhyuk wasn't forced whatsoever to move in with the lovebirds. He invited himself to move in with them because, wait for it, BANG! He fell for Donghae. And by the way, the pranks that Eunhyuk did weren't enough. Again, you typed in your description that in the beginning, Eunhyuk's pranks are beginning to frequent but from what I have read, there were only a few pranks here and there (they were major pranks which is good I suppose but there were only quite a few pranks, not enough to become 'frequent' might I add). Toodles.

 

PLOT: 17.5/25

No plot is ever original - there will always be something that is common. However, I was quite intrigued with how you played with the plot. You were able to make it your own style and as I was reading your story, I was actually into it. I wanted to know what would happen next, etc. The plot is a little confusing though. The storyline is a bit messy and I was a bit frustrated/lost with some parts of the story (more in the flow section). The characters' actions make sense throughout the given situations they were in although they were a bit 'messy' (some didn't really make sense as to why they did this and that). Your genres include angst, psychology, romance as well as suspense. Your story has romance (although it is quite a messed-up one; again, you narrated us instead of showing us their romance). Your story has suspense - although your description is a big giveaway to what will happen in the end, we still want to

Chapter 23: thank you so much for the review!!! :D :D I was trying out new writing style with this fic so these feedbacks are really important to me! and thank you for spotting those grammatical mistakes >.< I tend to mess up grammar often...
but may I ask that you mentioned "lack of necessary articles like 'the'", but I couldn't find where I need to put 'the' in the fic. Yes Ii have re-read it but I guess I still don't know where I've missed out the word?
anyways I really appreciate the review! It's very helpful and I am glad I request from you :) have a nice day~~

Chapter 22: Because it is crucially important to me, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the grammar section. I didn't get a beta-reader because I'm doing the editing myself over winter break and didn't want to waste anyone's time to comb through my story, so thank you for this.

LOL. No, in Chapter 000, this was only an exaggeration about Jungkook, but I can't blame you for taking it seriously though. The sarcasm was subtle. Anyways, for that reason, Jungkook hasn't moved up in school (like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, that lil smart haha). Yes, Jungkook is smarter than most, but he's not a certified genius and it's why he treats his position in school with contempt.
I'm sorry. I don't explain my characters to reviewers like this because it sounds like I'm "defending" myself, but I wanted to point out that TDoJ is strong in its exaggeration. Haha.

No, I'm not offended at all! Not about the cliché-ness, not about the long chapters, none of that. I embrace the cliché-ness, tbh. Plus, I know there are chunks I could cut out of the story (which is what I'm doing right now. Lord help me.), but other than that, I'm used to this reaction and I like the different perspectives. Honestly, it flatters me that despite everything said in your review, you found great enjoyment in my story while remaining a critical reviewer throughout it. (Okay, I'm sorry for this feedback that isn't really feedback.)

At last, thank you for your corrections, advice, and time! I will have a second pair of eyes to help me after I do the first round of editing. Thank you for the honest and critical review and I'll credit right away! If any troubles or questions arise, I shall PM you if Google can't help me, but I won't bother you over winter break because of the holidays and school :)
