Sunlight and Lullabies

Reviewer: dhaatk
Review for: TheChickWithThePlan

Requested on: 04/09/2015
Finished On: 04/10/2015



NOTE: 3 Chapters (Spoiler Alert)

(10/10) Title: The chosen title is original and links with the story. Some stories with words “sunlight” or “lullaby” in their titles can be found but never those words were combined before on this site.

(9/10) Character:  Basically, there are only two characters and that is enough for this story to be fully developed. Both Jongin and Kyungsoo are truly out of this world, but they are each others' weirdos. The way young men interact with one another makes reader grow to love them. What might be an issue to most readers, is Kyungsoo's character. From the very beginning he seems like the one, who would take the lead in the future. Or in other words, he just looks dominant, while Jongin – submissive. These terms are not used to describe their ual life but rather how they talk and who encourages conversations the most. Soon Kyungsoo's character changes and he shows his sensitive side. This becomes confusing and the reader is startled a bit with a question: Wait, isn't Jongin the naïve and delicate one? One more drawback is Donghae's character. Since there are so little characters in general, every single one of them must have significant meaning. Kyungsoo mentions Donghae a couple of times, but this character does not become relevant in the end.

(10/10) Originality: The idea of this story really extraordinary! Not a lot of stories like this can be found (if any at all).

(40/40) Storyline/Plot: As it has been mentioned already, the whole story is very well-developed. There are no plot holes or they are nicely hidden that only extremely keen reader could find them. The pace and flow are satisfactory. Not a lot of is happening anyway, so there are no unpleasant leaps of time. There is really not much to be said about the storyline. Except that it is slow, somewhat calming and enjoyable.

(25/25) Grammar/Errors: The grammar skills of yours are simply perfect! I did not spot any mistakes. The choice of words is amazing and vocabulary is very rich. Just one small remark – it would be nicer for the reader's eye, if there were full paragraphs, not each sentence from new line.

(4/5) Overall Enjoyment: I enjoyed this story to a great extent! It is simple but warm and cute. The narration runs smoothly and I was confused only a couple of times throughout the whole text. Nice job! Good luck with your future stories.

(98/100) Points Total

One more thing. I know the Description and the forward are super long. But I planned this story to be like a Novella/Soap Opera.
It may seem like I'm giving away to much in the Description and The Forward, but as you realize you might notice that I haven't.
There are three main parts to this story:
The Past-Childhood
The Past- Orphans/Teens
The Present- The main setting, in which the forward revealed nothing.

I'm an interactive author, meaning I ask questions at the end and leave hints here and there for the readers to try there best at guessing. (They become more invested in my story this way, lol)

- Story title : Love Me Right
- Story link : http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/976222/love-me-right-mpreg-hunhan-taoris-kaisoo-sulay-chanbaek-chenmin

-Genre : OT12, Angst, Mpreg, Fluff, Comedy, Growth, Friendship, Life, and "LEARNING TO LOVE"

- On-going | To be a long fic.

- Reviewer : KaihleeLo

- So The title of the fic is "Love Me Right", but it has nothing to do with the EXO song; even though some would just assume. The reason why I titled it 'Love Me Right' is because 6 of the main characters suffered in their childhood and eventually were orphaned. They don't know how to let themselves love. In particular, Luhan. As for the other 6 'Love' and 'Lust' are two different things.

- So before you read, I would like to point out, that the pacing of the story and the built up is exactly how I planned. I don't want to rush Romance because you don't 'fall in love' over night, and the characters need to mature. Also, there is a pattern to my chapters "The Past" chapters are essentially flashbacks. "The Present" is taking place now. For every 5 "The Present" chapters, it will be followed by 2 "The Past" chapters; Childhood/Teen years.

- I have a reader who offered to proofread my chapters since I had some typos, and I don't have the time to go back and fix them. "I always update between 12 am - 5 am, so that is the main reason". She is still editing the earlier chapters so please realize I am fixing the errors.


Oh gosh this was a lot. I'm sorry. I'm just really nervous, and I wanted to explain the above before you review.
