NOTE: (Spoiler Alert)

(9/10) Title:It fits the storyline and make sense. Although I think it can be a little bit more interesting.

(8/10) CharacterI like how each character has his/her own background story and they are all brought together into this one house. However, I do feel like the characters needs a bit more unique personality. A personality that shows “ah that is something she would do. Totally.” I suggest using a character chart when writing so you would remind yourself “is this the thing a caring person would do?” “is this the thing a moody person would do?”

(10/10) OriginalityWell done. It was very original to have a fanfic like this. You group these idols together and gave them unique personality and background.

(25/40) Storyline/PlotThere is not really a big problem that they are assign to fix or a huge secret to hide. In another word, the drive of the story is not found. I think a great story always have a drive that moves the plot and readers together. The story was losing me by chapter 5, because I suddenly thought “what are they are trying to do?” Now you did have a great thing going on with the relationship development. Some of the scenes are definitely funny. I would recommend you to plot out a simple storyline before writing. Elaborate more on different events. For example, the character’s facial expressions and on.

(10/25) Grammar/ErrorsThere are a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes. It was too much that distracted me when I was reading. Another thing is Krystal kept turning into Crystal, which is very inconsistent. Also the “,” of each chapters are misplaced. It should be (content),(space)(content), instead of (content)(space),(content). Lastly, I am not liking the romanization of the korean words, because I don’t get most of it.

(2/5) Overall Enjoyment

It was not a keep-me-on-the-edge-of-my-seat fanfic, but it has its own taste and beauty. I thought you did good on sketching out each character’s relationship, but it was not as exciting as I was hoping. There are lot of telling instead of showing.

(64/100) Points Total

Bonus: Sorry for the long wait. Please don’t take these opinion too into heart. ^ ^ They are all based on personal experience and taste. It’s all about creating the fantasy you want. Happy writing.

Feel free to message me if you have any further questions.

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.
