Overall Story rating: 6/10


Title: [7/10]

The title of your story is not the most unique title out there unfortunately, however, it is relevant to your story.

Foreword/Description: [8/10]

Your description is short and sweet, giving the readers a pretty good idea for the basic themes of the story ahead.

Plot/ character development:[6/10]

I feel as though the development of the characters is lacking. There is just too much dialogue which could be skipped and simply inferred to have being said rather than putting the dialogue in there. With all the dialogue, it feels as though the scenes are much longer than what they are and makes the story seemingly drag on.

Characterization: [7/10]

The characters are introduced to us rather suddenly, but also we aren't given much description of them to know who they are, where they come from. The characters are somewhat 'bland' because of this. You should work on your descriptive language more. The characters also seem a bit random in their behaviour. Perhaps this happened because you didn't give any of them a solid personality and just wanted the to tell the story.

Grammar/Syntax:[6/10]

Most of your sentence structures and grammar was good. However I do need to point out a few things.

  • 'I know well whose voice is that, that is my boyfriend's.' Would be better written as: 'I know whose voice that is very well. My boyfriend.'
  • 'I turn my body into position of my back leans against the bed, with his arms stay around my body.' Would be better written as: 'I turn over onto my back before sitting up to lean against the headboard, Jongin's arms still wrapped around my body.'

I think one focus for you could be your word ordering. Although we as readers can probably understand what you are trying to say, it can become confusing for us as we read.

There were also several typos here and there, which you should read over to find and fix.

Vocabulary: [7/10]

Your vocabulary is mostly quite simple language which everyone can understand, but once again, it doesn't matter too much about the type of words you are using, but how you order them is the key factor.

Setting/Description: [6/10]

The settings need more description as well. The readers have to almost make it up in their heads rather than picturing something as they read.

/Conclusion:[7/10]

The truth behind their relationships is somewhat cliche and it is something that you can find in other stories as well as dramas.

Enjoyment:[8/10]

It was a nice light-hearted story, however, it seemed quite cliche for me and so it lowered my liking of the story.

Total: 62/90

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
