R: When You're Gone
♕ Chansoo's Review Shop [Open]DESCRIPTION
The title and description are really good! The description is short, succinct, and after you read the fic and find out it's a tricky one, it's even better. But didn't you mean teeny tiny? Tinny tiny doesn't really exist.
PLOT
Super cute! Now this is not really SUPER important, but since it's canonverse, I'm going to mention it. Chanyeol only stayed in Micronesia for one week. You might have changed it on purpose, so I'll recommend an alternative: Roommate. Chanyeol participated for four months, and with the recordings, plus busy schedule (plus Kyungsoo's drama), I believe they didn't have time to hang out in private and it got quite boring and tiring around the dorm for Kyungsoo ;^; And Kyungsoo couldn't get a fever in so little time or get sick at all, because of his own schedules, but he can still miss Chanyeol just as much even though healthy! Consider this if you ever plan on rewriting it, perhaps. The flow, though, is really nice! Nothing was rushed, despite the scenes being short. You added more members, a side Sekai... It was a fun read!
CHARACTERIZATION
Kyungsoo is a bit off. I'm not picky when it comes to characterization because I think Kyungsoo is really unique. He is shy and quiet, yet witty and straightforward, but also quite embarrassing sometimes, heh. He can become pretty much anything we need. But then again, since this is canonverse, I think he should be more like his regular self. As much as he misses Chanyeol and becomes clingy and sentimental with his return, it would be nice to mention Kyungsoo backing off a little after returning to his senses. Chansoo is all about the push and pull, right? But if you don't think that sticking to the facts is your priority and is willing to bend reality to fit your ways, that's... your right as a writer. And you can ignore me, but I think your fic has potential, and this is why I'm trying to be very honest with you ;^;
Despite your fic not fitting the facts, Kyungsoo missing Chanyeol so much is adorable. I love it when people write about Kyungsoo needing Chanyeol, about Kyungsoo being jealous of him, etc, exactly because of how he acts normally. And I don't really care about grammar because English is not everyone's first language and because not everyone has a beta, but your fic is so cute that even if you don't plan on changing it at all, I'd recommend you getting it checked. With a perfect English it would be... I'm not going to say better because being good, that's your plot's merit, it has nothing to do with your English skills. But it does brings the quality up a bit, right? :) Anyway, thank you for asking for a review and I hope this is useful! Hwaiting~
