introductionabout

Hello and welcome (back) to Heart, Mind & Seoul, a review shop that was established back in the October of 2014. After a long break, I have decided to open up the shop again, and hopefully I will not disappoint you this time. The shop has been through a lot in the past few years but it's a pleasure to be able to continue serving its purpose. I will try my absolute best to bring you all the highest quality of reviews, and I believe with my experience as a reviewer, I can give the most honest and truthful review to you. Any suggestions and constructive criticism are very much welcomed for future improvements.

Chapter 24: I've always been curious about review shops. I could never do it myself. If you don't mind my asking, how did you come up with your rubric?

Chapter 30: Title: Actually, the title is the whole reason I started the story! XD I wanted to write something with that title and voila, TFA was born.

Description: I have moved that spoiling sentence from the foreword now. :3 as for the M rating, I have plans to possibly expand this story and there will be more gore-y explicit-y violent-y stuff (I don't know how to be articulate, don't hit me).

Appearance: yasss those graphics. I love JiaAera's work. ;u;

Characterization: Yes the story is terribly short and I may have not shown much of the characters ene but if all goes well, I may expand this tragic mess into something further. Ah yes, poor Soo. I feel bad for him ;_;

Plot: asdfghjkl yes it's almost a drabble, I can't write long oneshots to save my life (except one that is spiraling out of control help). Nope, I don't think it's unique, just something I personally wanted to write (and I wanted to up my fantasy story count). Well I'm going to try, but no promises.

Grammar, spelling & Punctuation: this is a first TwT I'm glad you didn't find mistakes! :D

Writing Style: Phew :D

Readers' Response: I have finished replying to those comments now (I am easily sidetracked) :D yes, there is a reason I have put all of my stories on subs only, that reason being plagiarizing little vermin scurrying around me all the furicking time. :)

Thank you for reviewing and I have credited! <33333

Chapter 28: Hello, I'm so sorry I didn't pick up earlier but I had too much going on > <
Anyways, first of all, thank you for your hard work! The title actually means 'the balance and the way', for reasons which will reveal themselves in the story later ^^ and thanks for the reminder about the translation! I'll keep it in mind~
I'm really glad about the characterisation! To be honest, I was a bit worried over him since there might be repetitive emotions (you know, the descriptions about him being depressed and emotionally relying on his deceased lover)
And about the plot - yes, I will explain more as the story progresses; I'm in the planning stages of the story as well, so the whole story isn't finished yet, but I have a vague idea about the whole plot which I'm currently working on. And yes, the plot (for now, at least) is Hyunwook being upset over his lover's death ^^
Thank you for the high marks for flow, grammar and writing style! I've had reviewers tell me my writing style being too confusing as I tend to write in really long sentences, but there seems to be not much of a problem in this story :)
About the readers' responses - unfortunately it's rather hard to gain readers especially since this is an oc story with a male oc and not much of a romance plot (at least, not really portrayed clearly). Plus, a few of my friends here have been plagiarised so I'm a bit hesitant on changing it to available to everyone
Thank you overall! I really appreciate your comments ^^ I'll credit once I get home and sorry for picking up really late again > <
