A story full of:
Love, Jealousy, Revenge, Loyalty and Sacrifice.


Title (10/10):
I must say that this story was already a little time on my "want to read"-list, so when I got the opportunity to review it right now, I didn't hesitate. Your title is what drew me to your story to start reading it. It does fit the story so far. If you see the title, the picture or image that comes to mind, is like a beautiful sweet girl, who's blind, but loved by certain people around her. But as it says "Blind Heir", you may already predict, that the blindness of the girl is not the only that's going on. It definitely gives a lot of meaning to the story. As I sad before, the title triggers the curiosity of the readers and therefor draws them in to actually start reading your story. To me personally, I think you made the right choice by choosing that title. Because it doesn't sound boring at all.

Description & Foreword (10/10):
The description is perfect! Actually, when you start reading the description, you don't want to stop. It screams angst, drama and romance and those are the feelings that you should have while reading the story. So, *thumbs up!* As for now, we could only read and experience a little part yet of your story. From what I read already, I do think it will be a good story. It certainly triggers the attention and curiosity of the readers. The foreword you used for the presentation of the characters. So that's fine.

Graphics (10/10): 
Kuddos and credits to the graphic designer, who made your background and the poster. It does portray the feeling and the genres of the story very well. It's angsty yet dramatic and romantic at the same time. I love the background, I do think the background is related to the story, in that sense that with the use of the clock, the time is indicated. Also as it is an angst story, the colours are well chosen for the background. I love it! ^^ Full marks are coming up for this section.

Character Development (9/10):
I love how the description already describes a huge part of the characteristics of YooJung. You did a really great job on portraying all the characters in a realistic way. We meet YooJung as first important character. She's a sweetheart but unfortunately she became blind due to a depression. We also get a glimps on the before situation. I do like those parts. And we meet Byun Baekhyun, I do have mixed feelings about him in the story, because I don't know yet if he will be the good or the bad guy. And there's Woobin, who's mostly portrayed in Kdrama's as the bad guy, but I think you are going to get rid of that cliché and maybe turn him in to a good guy. To define the two boys, the story must go on and than we will get a glimps on how it's going to develop. This is as far as the characters go, ooh and before I forget, we do have our mystery 10th of July guy. I do get the feeling that this one is going to take a grand role in your story, but for that we need to wait until the story goes on.

Appearance (10/10):
The font is not too large or too small. It's big enough to read your story. The story is actually well structured and you can easily follow.

Originality & Plot (8/10):
For me personally, it could have been a cliché story, but I feel that you are trying to insert your creativity to make it a story that stands out. Which is good, because otherwise you could indeed put it again in the category of those cliché stories. From what I read yet, I do think there will maybe a kind of love triangle. But for me to decide that, I first want to read the story further and see how it will develop. You did your best already to set the mood for this story and depending on the next chapters, the story will have a mind of his own. In that concept, that you will do your best to convey everything in the story that you want. As Authornim, you already know how your story will develop. We, as reader, are only triggered up until now.. So keep on going!

Flow (8/10):
The story reads very easy and therefore the flow is going very smoothly. But I do think it's only for now the first chapters of the story. But off course again, we will see how it flows with the next chapters to come. As we don't have many chapters, it's going slowly to the main plot for now

Writing (8/10):
Your writing is very good. You convey your ideas and words in an enjoyable and understandable way. This story or I should say the beginning of it, was already playing in my mind like a movie. If you can do that to me, that means that you are doing a great job in using imagery to "paint the picture". *FIGHTING!*

Grammar & Spelling (6/10):
I don't know if English is your first language or not. I pressume not. You did a fine job on the level of the Grammar & Spelling mistakes. I hope you won't be offended by the list you will see below. I only did this with the best intentions and to give you some pointers and help you out to improve your writing skills on the level of Grammer and Spelling.

General Enjoyment (10/10):
I will definitely continue reading this story, as I want to know what's going to happen. You triggered my curiosity! It's a story that reads very easy for now than. It has the feeling of being rather a light version of angst, but maybe that's just the beginning of the story now.. I don't really care if that's going to change, I just want to know what will happen next. ^^ So I will await the next update! I do like this story a lot.

Comments and thoughts: Again as mentioned before, I really like your story. But I do have a question for you. Why did you start the first chapter in the you-form? I do like it better as from chapter 2 with the pov's. But off course it's your story so you decide how you are going to write it. Keep on writing! ;) FIGHTING!!
