TITLE

Well... now that I know the story I also know there's a deeper meaning behind the title... I understand what you meant with the full circle, and about everything starting again, and the title will catch the attention of people who don't know the story, but I still don't know if it's a full circle because even if Chanyeol is an angel again, it's still not like everything will happen again. Of course he could stay with Kris until he dies, but the circle is still kind of broken, I think, because Chanyeol is broken-hearted and he won't just get over this and find a new love... but apart from that the title makes the readers think and that's definitely very positive xD

DESCRIPTION / FOREWORD

The foreword and description made me really curious what the story is about and I wanted to know more so it's definitely good in catching attention. It doesn't give much information however, but that's okay since I guess it's kind of a mystery that's only revealed in the end so you have to read it and that's basically what a description/foreword should do.

GRAPHICS

The graphics are simple, but that's just fantastic, I really like the background and the quote in the beginning, and it's just perfect simple as it is.

10

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

I really like how you portrayed the characters, they were very unique (especially Chanyeol) and interesting, especially how Chanyeol's feelings for Kris developed when he was always by his side and how Kris grew up without realizing anything was extremely realistic and I loved how they both developed.

APPEARANCE

There's not much to say because it just looks great, the font is nice, not too small or too large, the paragraphs are fine and it's perfectly structured.

10

ORIGINALITY / PLOT

Well, the plot is really interesting though there are fallen angel stories already of course, but the way how Chanyeol sacrificed his 'life' was really touching and I haven't read something like this yet, and there are so many unique details that you couldn't call it a typical cliche story, but maybe a little bit predictable? Don't get me wrong, I was really happy it ended that way because a happy end would have been so - unrealistic, and I like reading angst, but I kind of guessed it might end like this.

FLOW

I really like the story flow, it's not too fast but also not too slow and the flow stays the same pace. The way how the story is told with the time skips is really good too because I actually love stories that show a development over time with some skips.

10

WRITING

Your writing was really good and nice to imagine, but the narration felt slightly strange at first, the story of Chanyeol's view is completely fine but meaning Kris with saying you irritated me. So your writing is really good, the points missing here are just because the narration felt really strange, especially at first.

7.5

 

GRAMMAR/SPELLING

Nothing to criticize, grammar and spelling seem fine to me.

10

GENERAL ENJOYMENT

A really interesting oneshot to read, especially because it made me think of what to sacrifice for love and how you can live with a person and not realize how important that person actually is to you... I also liked the sad end (yes, sometimes I just love angst) because always too happy ends are not that great either. So summarizing: awesome oneshot with a nice idea behind, and your writing style made it a really enjoyable read.

9.5

 

COMMENTS AND THOUGHTS + REMINDER

Comments and Thoughts:Well, I actually already said everything... But I want to emphasize again how much I liked the ending because it's perfect for the story, and how sad it was that Chanyeol sacrificed so much for Kris... But I really liked this oneshot, especially because it's angsty and I'd be interested in more oneshots written by you ^.^
