OK Reviews

Description

 

 

 

A review shop with constructive criticism.

 

 

 

 

 

Foreword

 

 

 

If you want to improve your writing, this is your place.

 

My hope is that this will be useful for people who genuinely want to improve their writing. So if you want someone's honest opinion and (hopefully useful) suggestions on how to make your stories even better, by all means apply for a review!

 

If something is unclear don't hesitate to ask.

Chapter 1: I've always been curious about review shops. I could never do it myself. If you don't mind my asking, how do you decide what to review? Like, what parts to focus on?

Chapter 3: I'm just dropping by to say that I read all your reviews, and I really like how you do it :D Even when it's criticism, it's constructive and you word it out nicely, providing guidance on how to rectify the mistakes the author may be doing. I love the reviews you do, and reading it sort of calms down someone like me who is really anxious, since you even gave the authors an option for privacy.

Chapter 9: Hey! Thank you so much for the straightforwards, in-depth review! I really appreciate your honesty on things that didn't quite work out and things I need to work on. Yea, a more broader perspective is definitely one of those things. I am one person, after all, and writing dialogue is almost like having a conversation with myself XD I'll work on differentiating my characters and flushing out their personalities a bit more. As for Wonho, I'm sorry you found him really creepy, and now that I go back to it, it really does seem that way. I didn't intend for him to be creepy, and that's also on the topic of broadening my perspective as well. When I wrote it, I mostly envisioned myself as Wonho and wrote other characters from his perspective, without diving deep into their minds. That's probably why Hyunwoo's letter came off as contrived or, like you said, "easy". But thanks for letting me know and putting together the review! It definitely helps, and I'll work on becoming a better writer off your advice :)

Chapter 3: 1. Name of Story: Doing Stuff

2. Pairing: Kim Young Kwang x OC & Yeo Jin Goo x OC

3. Genre/Brief Description: A collection of simple, straightforward one shots that is more like a scenario fanfics about domestic lifestyle and normal things couples do with their significant others. The main purpose of these fics is solely for entertainment and joy.

4. Link to story: https://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1196052/

6. Do you want the review to be posted here as a chapter (with or without anonymity) or by PM: Here is fine but PM is preferable.

7. Is anything about your story included in my 'I don't read'-list, then what: OC x K-actors and het

8. Comment or special wishes (not necessary): I really hope I can get a review because though I know my fics has insignificant plots, I tend to write a lot of angst and this one, in particular, is not. And the second chapter was written in First-Person POV, which is something new and rare for me. I really want to improve that aspect of my writing because I feel like I am too comfortable writing in Third Person for my other fics. I'm in desperate need of constructive criticism... Thank you!
