Review of Curse of the Phoenix

[CLOSED] Bee's Review & Advertisement Shop

Title (5/5)

I think the title was very fitting though the phoenix part you have to figure out. I especially recalled the burnt leaves and figured that was referring to the phoenix! The title definitely caught my attention, so for that you get a full 5 points!

Description/Foreword (9/10)

The foreword was very well written besides a few incomplete sentences and comma misplacement. It was very interesting and definitely caught my attention, for some reason the foreword made me think of a fairy tale for some reason. But it was very well done over all.

Characters (10/10)

The characters seemed very fitting, I mean you really made Lia seem completely clueless to what men were, but at the same time she was aware of their existence and read about them. Which also fits her very well and the plot too since she probably has so much free time and gets bored. You seemed to have the characters figured out and made them fit the story in general and liked that and I'm sure your other readers enjoyed that too. Also Chanyeol's character fit too he seemed to yearn for the touch of a woman after being around men his whole life.

Plot (20/20)

The plot was very well put together like I stated in the last paragraph, you seemed like you had everything planned out. Also it was a very unique plot, though I have seen stories about curses they are usually far and few or not very well written. I liked the idea and got caught up in it as soon as I read the foreword up until chapter 4; I am very excited to see what happens.

Grammar (12/20)

As soon as I read your first language is not English I got a little nervous about your grammar, but believe me I was completely and utterly impressed. Though there were mistakes they were minor, you placed periods on incomplete sentences where a semicolon could've been placed, you sued plural words for things that were meant to be singular, and you used ‘your’ in places where it should've been ‘you're’. But besides that you had amazing vocabulary and you had words that described things perfectly, though some things were misspelled and some sentences worded strangely it was an exceptional job, over all.

Flow (6/10)

I wanted to give you a good score, but because of the sentences that got worded a bit awkwardly or weren't written correctly it made it hard to read with ease. Though I will say you did not jump around from topic to topic randomly, and it did not hurt my brain. I think your flow was good except for what I mentioned above.

Visual Things (14/15)

Your poster was beautiful and all but I found it kind of distracting for some reason, but the font size was perfect and I did not need to strain my eyes to read it. So I gave you a good score!

End (--/10)

You did not yet have an ending so I could not socre you on this! 

Extra Comments:

I think this story is spectacular; I may sound like I'm overreacting. But I really love the plot and idea behind it all. It was eye caching, beautifully written over all and it sparked my curiosity. I really am anticipating the next chapter with great excitement and hope you get a lot of subscribers you deserve it! ^^

Total (76/90) 

Curse of the Phoenix

Chapter 31: I'm here! ^^ First of all, I am so happy to read about your comment on the title because personally, i think a title is very important to capture a reader's attention and I am so glad you gave that a full mark ^^ And the description, if it wasnt for the ending, i bet i would get a higher marks right? After you pointed about the ending, i tried reading the description again and you were right. It is somewhat too cheesy and spoil the mood, my bad, wuuu~ >< I won't comment on each of it because that's just too long LOL but overall, I am happy with your review <3 I have weaknesses on grammar [always] and I need to expand my vocab and improve my sentence structure too

"Like I said before I honestly have no clue how you managed to make such an unoriginal idea somehow original and unique. I loved that a whole lot. " <--- you have no idea how much you motivate me with this. I am so happy to read that, thank you! ;___; <3

Chapter 33: Saw the ad xD Thank you very much. But I would like to add in a few additional things regarding my request :) I would like some words in the curse quote ("Hark! Hark now! ... a happy ending.") to be bolded if possible. The words are: regret, time, punishment, find, love, not, happy ending. If you can please bold them xD Thanks~

" Hark! Hark now!
Mark my words, insolent creatures.
O how I regret thine existences; marry I doth.
Aye, time canst not be reverted verily.
Hereby the punishment thou deserve.
For lifetimes thou shalt find each other,
Love one another,
But I,
I wilt make sure thou wilt not have
A happy ending. "

"Hey hyung."
"What is it?"
"Do you believe in second chances?"

Genre: (but no ), angst, romance, fantasy, drama plus a bit of comedy and mystery.

Story title: The MatchMaker

Story link:http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/665333/the-matchmaker-arrangedmarriage-fluff-romance-you-exo-luhan-baekhyun

Summary:To love is a crime, a crime that is paid with the death penalty.

This is the law of society. However there is the other option. You can love the one whom society matches you with through the system simply called the "MatchMaker" where there are absolutely "no flaws" and "you'll love your match."

The "MatchMaker" is a system where all 18 year olds enter. They "match" you up with another girl/boy and you just simply get engaged, married, and have children.

But Byun Baekhyun and Cho Minji are lovers.

Secret lovers. Only a few know that secret. But still...

Secrets, especially one as dangerous as that, are meant to be kept secrets, because if spilled, you'll be lying in your grave.

But the "MatchMaker" had other plans for the secret lovers.

Genre: Romance

Characters: Cho Minji(OC)

Rated (yes/no) yes

Oneshot (yes/no) no

I'm still working on it T^T
