NOTE: 4 Chapters (Spoiler Alert)

Title (6/10):

The title is questionable. It’s not super attractive, but it has it’s charm. I inferred that within 24 hours the character have to accomplish something.

Character (3/10):

I apologize for being so harsh, but I hope I can help you in identifying the things you need to work on. Characters in the story is weak and flat. There are no development or any changes throughout the story which makes the character like L have no dimension. Characters’ emotions are way too flat. It seems like there are no in between. I can not imagine myself talking to Ah Ri, who only shows smile or weird face. Please don’t be discourage. You will improve every time you write. Try to pick out a thing that you want to work on. It’s not easy to turn an imagination into a story, but is not possible.

Originality (5/10):

I read a lot of story like this. The idea of letting the main lead to fall in love again and again is overused. But don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad thing, sometimes you can turn a cliche into originality. In fact, I had wrote an one shot with a similar concept.

Storyline/Plot (18/40):

There is a plot, but boring. The same thing happens over and over again. There are not a lot of excitement when I continue, because I knew L is going to back to that cafe and met Ah Ri again. Then they will fall in love with a in sentences. To make a story like that interesting, you have to add changes and progression to it. Making characters fall in love with in a day is possible, but it not easy to convince the readers. Why did he like her all of a sudden? Just because she is pretty?

"N-n-nice to meet you too, Myungsoo," Ah Ri stuttered at the beginning as she was actually startrucked by L.

"Please, just call me L. It sounded better." L smiled. Ah Ri nodded and bowed again before giving his order in.

Ah Ri's heartbeat was palpitating inside her chest, hardly. 'L' that name rang across her mind. 'I think I've fallen in love,' both L and Ah Ri thought at the same time. “

Right after they introduce themselves, they fall in love. Sure! Love-at-first-sight can happen, but a real human will have doubts and uncertainties. A story plot can smooth that out. A great way to improve story plots is to read other people’s story. Anterograde Tomorrow, a fanfic with similar idea, is a great example to study from, but still remember to keep it original.

Grammar/Errors (15/25):

I saw a lot of mistakes, but is ok. Grammar are important, but they are not as important as a story’s plot, characterization and development. Try to be aware of grammar usage in the future when you are reading and writing. It really helps.

Overall Enjoyment (1/5):

I apologize once again. I didn’t enjoy the story, because of the reasons above. Don’t give up keep writing. These are all technique of writing. They can not compare with passion, creativity and persistence.

Bonus:

I apologize for any harsh criticism. Happy writing!

Points Total: (48/100)

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)

- 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.
