Title (6/10):

The title didn’t catch my attention. It’s very straightforward and only had a small connection with the story so far. I suggest to use a funny title that can fit your storyline as well.

Character (15/20):

Development ()So far nothing and I don’t see the need of development in this story; however, it would be nice to see some changes.

 

Individuality () Kyungsoo really stands out, and he is well portrayed ever since the first chapter of the story. His awkwardness makes the character relatable and adorable at the same time.

 

Jongin needs more development. I characterized him as unapproachable and chill, but there are times his character suddenly changes.

 

Relationship() I can definitely sense something between Jongin and Kyungsoo, but not much have been developed yet.

 
 
 

Originality (10/10):

I don’t find a lot of comedy story around, especially ones that happen in camps.

 

Storyline/Plot (25/30):

Setting()The setting fits the story, and adds more elements to the comedy.

 

The storyline haven’t progress much within the 8 chapters. Each chapter seems to have a its only little story on how Kyungsoo trying to survive his days. I am not understanding the main issue that Kyungsoo is dealing with here; therefore, I wasn’t super attached to the story. I suggest to add more detail and make the plot surround on a purpose or event. However, it is funny enough to keep me going. Luhan had me laughing since the beginning of chapter 2.

 

P.S. Poor Sehun.

 
 

Grammar/Errors (25/25):

Nothing major that bothers me while reading. Great job!

Overall Enjoyment (5/5):

I really enjoyed the story. It had me smiling like an idiot every chapter. There is really nothing for me to complain about. Well done! :)

 

Bonus:

Thank you. I apologize for any harsh criticism. Happy writing.

 

Points Total: (86/100)

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)

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

- On-going | To be a long fic.

- 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.
