♪Opening
●Title- 3/5
❀ Not effective enough; Did not trigger or prick my curiosity
❀ The word 'love' should be capitalized; Entire title should be 'Idols in Love'
❀ Covered the basics of the story, it's reflective~ ^_^
●Poster/Background- /5
❀ It won't be marked since you have none~ :)
●Description & Foreword- 3/10
❀ Your introduction of the group 'Sentimental' & Bubbles should be in 'Description', not 'Foreword'
❀ Needs to expand more; Don't generalize too much or else readers won't be interested
❀ Relationships? Characters? Don't rely on readers' imagination. The story is yours right? Let them follow your lead
>>Total: 6/15<<

♪Contents
●Creativity/Originality- 6/10
❀ I adore the love triangle, and the love at first sight idea. These kind of ideas reoccur in nearly every story I read but as long as they are well written, I don't see a problem.
❀ Having idols fall in love, being attacked by anti-fans etc are not exactly original either. You find these kind of plot lines nearly everywhere.
❀ I wouldn't say you exactly had a BRILLIANT start. It was confusing and I'm not sure the way you experss your thoughts is comprehensible enough.
●Plot- 11.5/20
❀ I'm totally confused as to what kind of storyline your characters are following
❀ Stop including details in brackets! Such info should be covered in the D+F right? Or just elaborate further with more words. Using brackets make me feel like you're unprepared.. T_T
❀ The story lacks background - BG helps readers to get a better insight~
❀ Story Format: sometimes you write like a standard novel, but in later chapters you explained events like diary entries (chp32) Stick to one please~:D
●Chapter Titles- 2.5/5
❀ Most are normal at the max, the rest relate the story but are dull and unexciting
❀ If you decide to put in chapter titles, stick with it throughout
❀ Do not put emoticons, it shows unprofessionism. (Chapter 39- ~.~)
●Flow- 5.8/10
❀ It flow well enough, events connect with each other early chapters
❀ Don't skip significant events; How did Junho and Bubbles start Dating? Why did Wooyoung suddenly marry Bubbles?
❀ Ridiculous time spans? 1 year / 8 years are too long.

♪Expression
●Characterization- 10/15:
❀ Wooyoung and junho are too similar; Lack of individualities
❀ Stop trying to make Bubbles perfect; it's unreaslitic becuase perfection doesn't exist in reality
❀ Include other members too! (should have included brief intros before commencing the plot)
●Writing Style- 6.8/10
❀ POVs change too quickly; Confusing and possibly misleading
❀ No settings? It feels like you’re telling a story instead of me reading the story
❀ Chapter lengths change too drastically from time to time (chp34 LONG), chp37(short)
●Mechanics- 7/10
❀ There are notable mistakes throughout; Be sure to edit chapter before posting! ^^
❀ Watch out for missing words that make sentences complete. E.g. That, if, etc.
❀ Overall you didn't make A LOT of mistakes even thought there are a lot of chapters~ Well Done!

●Bonus- 2.8/5
It's not a story where I just cannot put down. In fact I did bored once in a while and I didn't finish it in one sitting. I adore 2PM but the plot overall does not appeal to me... MIANHAE! O_O
