Overall Story rating: 8/10 


Title: [8/10]

The title is quite sweet and shows the reader that there'll be some form of romance and a theme of trust perhaps. However, there are several other stories on AFF with the same title.

Foreword/Description: [8/10]

Your description of the story is good, however, I think that perhaps you could reword the sentences as it seems much more like you're telling rather than showing us.

As for your foreword, it gives the reader a good sneak peek to what will happen to Bambam and leaves the reader with some mystery.

Plot/ character development:[8/10]

Since the story isn't over yet, it's hard to say how much of your plot or the characters have developed so far. However, I do think that the characters should have more time to develop and slow it down perhaps. As for the plot, I think it's still in it's early stages.

Characterization: [8/10]

The characters in the story are all quite different, as it can be seen from the information you provided the readers before beginning with the story. I feel that perhaps all the main characters in the story should have their own parts on the odd occasion, not always necessarily focused on Bambam so much, even though he is the lead character. As readers, we need a bit of relief from the actual plot sometimes.

Grammar/Syntax:[8/10]

Most of your grammar was good, other than a few minor typos which could be overlooked. However, I did notice that some of your word orders a bit odd, but this may just be from personal judgement. Different cultures speak in different ways and so it may be normal to some but odd to others. I suggest to read over your work.

Vocabulary: [8/10]

Your choice of vocab is overall, well chosen. However, I think there are times when you may be overusing more sophisticated words, which can cause some readers to be confused. I understand that the story is not very light-hearted, but I feel as though you should try and read over your writing to see if it makes sense.

Setting/Description: [9/10]

The settings and descriptions of your story, are good. The way you describe the locations give a good indication to the readers as to whereabout it is. The university seems to be a very central area for where your story takes place and you seem to have a good grasp about where the scenes of the story take place. Although, perhaps describing the locations a bit more could help visualise it better for the readers, this is not a must though.

/Conclusion:[10/10]

Since the story isn't complete yet, but I hope something great will happen to solve the mystery about Bambam's powers and the whereabouts of Youngjae.

Enjoyment:[8/10]

I enjoyed reading it, even though it isn't like many other stories I would normally read.

Total: 75/90

Chapter 45: Finally! I was actually waiting after the day you announced that it will be posted. Anyway, I'm happy for your review.

I know it is something not all people will waste time reading. It's cliche. Over used plot. Nothing really special just some typical drama. XD. No one would actually repeat reading stories that is already predictable. What am I saying? Lol. I am not really aiming for readers when I first wrote this. This is actually a gift for a friend because she really really love Baekhyun and she was the one who told me to post it here and ask for a review. But, when people started noticing it, I was like "I have to at least tell them what happened after. They deserve it" and yes, I know I will give them a sequel that is not really something to go back XD Lol.

Regarding the title, I would really really like to change it but my friend already read this and she doesn't want me to change what was done. She's kind of childish and selfish C:

Thank you for correcting my errors. I know there are lots of it and I do need someone who can point it out for me because I can't do it for myself. (disadvantage of not having English as the mother language) Thank you and sorry I wasn't able to meet your satisfaction :( .

Thank you Tychee! C: Gonna credit after this.

(c) for the side story of this oneshot (it's going to focus more on the past of Kai and Krystal), because I feel like I was too focused on trying to make this unbreakable bond between the two of them that I forgot to explain more about their past. So, there will be answers to your questions on the side story, I'll probably request a review for it once I posted it!

Whoa, I didn't realise I made that typo. I'll fix it right away, thank you so much!

Once again, thank you so much for reviewing and reading this story. I'm very honoured that you like it overall, I'm really glad that you had a good read and the time I spent brainstorming the plot and characterisation didn't go to waste. I will certainly comeback to this shop to get another review from you. I've also credited your shop in my foreword and upvoted this thread. Thank you so much, have a nice day <3
