SCORE: 96/100
TITLE: (10/10)
LOGICAL (3/3) - I LIKE HOW YOUR STORY AND ITS TITLE FIT TOGETHER PERFECTLY.
EYE-CATCHING (3/3) - IT IS REALLY INTERESTING AND CAUGHT MY INTEREST IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT IS A TITLE THAT IS NOT REALLY COMMON AND THERE IS MUCH SPACE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY COULD HAPPEN IN THE STORY.
ORIGINAL (4/4) - THERE ARE DEFINITELY NO OTHER STORIES WITH THE SAME TITLE AND I REALLY LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT MAKES YOUR STORY REALLY SPECIAL JUST LIKE YOUR PLOT ITSELF.
STORY'S FOREWORD/DESCRIPTION (10/10)
STORY'S SUMMARY (5/5) - YOUR FOREWORD IS REALLY GOOD, JUST BY READING IT I WAS SURE THAT YOU HAVE AN REALLY INTERESTING PLOT THAT GIVES OF A MYSTERIOUS VIBE WHICH I REALLY LIKED. IT IS WELL WRITTEN AND CAUGHT MY INTEREST AND AWAKENED MY CURIOSITY.
APPEARANCE (5/5) - IT IS NEAT AND TIDY WITH A SHORT FOREWORD, FOLLOWED BY THE INTRODUCTION OF THE CHARACTERS AND A LIST OF MUSIC THE READER CAN LISTEN TO WHILE READING THE STORY.
CHARACTERS/CASTS (10/10)
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT (5/5) - YOUR CHARACTERS ARE LIKE A ROLLERCOASTER. THEY HAVE SO MANY SIDES ON THEM THAT THEY SEEM TO BE REAL PEOPLE. NOT ALL OF THEM CHANGE OVER THE STORY LIKE MINSEOK AND MINO WHO CHANGED BEFORE THE STORY STARTED AND BECAME REALLY GOOD PARTNERS BUT SUJIN AND JONGDAE CHANGED. FOR SOME TIME I WAS REALLY WORRIED WHETHER JONGDAE WOULD BECOME A CORRUPT COP THAT DOESN'T GIVE A ANYMORE ABOUT THE RULES BUT IN THE END HE DIDN'T. IT IS FASCINATING HOW JONGDAE IS REALLY COOL AND COMPOSED IN THE FIRST CHAPTERS BUT THAT CHANGES OVER THE STORY BECAUSE OF THE HAPPENINGS IN THE STORY. I REALLY LOVE THAT BECAUSE IT IS LOGICAL THAT HE CAN'T BE CALM AND COMPOSED ALL THE TIME WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE DYING AROUND YOU.
ANOTHER CHARACTER THAT CHANGES OVER THE STORY DRASTICALLY BUT WE ONLY REALIZE IT AT THE END OF THE STORY IS SUJIN BECAUSE OF HER PAST AND THE FACT THAT SHE WORKED FOR THE DRAGON IN THE END BUT DECIDES TO START TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS. I NEVER EXPECTED HER TO BE THE MURDERER OF THE SASAENG OR THAT SHE WAS ONCE ON HERSELF, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT MAYBE JIYONG WAS THIS FIRST LOVE THAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THAT THIS COULD BE THE REASON THAT SHE WAS WORKING FOR HIM WHICH WAS TOTALLY WRONG IN THE END.
JONGHYUN, JIYONG AND CHAERIN ARE CHARACTER THAT DIDN'T REALLY CHANGE IN MY OPINION BECAUSE JONGHYUN IS A PERSON THAT WEARS A MASK IN FRONT OF HIS FANS FROM THE START BUT IS ACTUALLY REALLY TIRED OF EVERYTHING. HE IS REALLY A CHARACTER I DIDN'T LIKE AT ALL BECAUSE OF HIS ATTITUDE BUT IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING THAT IN THE END HE WAS NOT A MURDERER AND HAD RELATIONS TO JIYONG THOUGH THE REASON OF HIS DEATH WAS REALLY SAD. AFTER ALL HE ONLY DIED BECAUSE OF HIS RELATION TO JIYONG.
FOR JIYONG IT WAS A HUGE DIFFERENCE HOW AT THE START OF THE STORY HE WAS ALMIGHTY AND NOBODY WAS ABLE TO TOUCH HIM BECAUSE THERE WAS ALWAYS A WAY OUT FOR HIM BUT IN THE END HE DIED BECAUSE OF THE ONLY PERSON HE HAD SOME KIND OF FEELINGS FOR.
AND CHAERIN WAS REALLY COLD AND STILL IS, THE WAY SHE ACTED AND YOU DESCRIBED HER AND WHAT SHE DID IN THE END WAS REALLY SOMETHING THAT MADE ME BELIEVE THAT SHE HAS NO FEELINGS AT ALL. SHE IS A CHARACTER THAT ONLY WORK FOR HER OWN ADVANTAGES AND THE MOMENT SHE DOESN'T NEED SOME PERSON ANYMORE SHE WILL JUST TURN HER BACK ON THEM AND MOVE ON. IT IS REALLY IRONIC HOW JIYONG PLAYED WITH SO MANY PEOPLE AND IN THE END HE LIKED THE ONLY PERSON THAT DIDN'T CARED ABOUT HIM AT ALL.

CHARACTER'S RELATIONS (5/5) - THE WAY YOUR CHARACTERS ACTED WAS REALLY AMAZING, AS I ALREADY SAID ABOVE THEY WERE REALISTIC AND MOST OF THE TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO TELL WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO DO. YOU DESCRIBE PRETTY GOOD THE FEELINGS OF YOUR CHARACTERS. LIKE SUJIN WHO HAS FEELINGS FOR JONGDAE BUT CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT HER FIRST LOVE. SHE IS AFRAID OF THIS LOVE FOR JONGDAE AND AS A READER I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY SHE WAS TRYING TO STAY AWAY FROM JONGDAE AT FIRST BUT SLOWLY GAVE IN. IT WAS NOT LIKE ONE MOMENT SHE IS AGAINST THIS RELATION BUT IN THE NEXT SHE TOTALLY WANT IT. THERE IS A SLOW DEVELOPMENT.
THE AUTHOR'S MINDSET (36/40)
LOGICALLY (10/10) - THE STORY MADE SO MUCH SENSE THE WAY YOU WROTE IT THAT IT IS ALMOST SCARY. AT FIRST YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE THAT A SASAENG GETS KILLED BY ANOTHER SASAENG BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER BUT THEY WAY YOU WROTE THAT IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO GET RECOGNIZED BY THEIR IDOL WAS MAKING SENSE IN A SCARY WAY BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOT REALLY SOMETHING SHOCKING THAT ONE OF THEM WAS MURDERED, THEY DIDN'T CARE. THEN THE WHOLE STORY ABOUT THE DRAGON CASE WAS REALLY INTERESTING AND GOOD BECAUSE YOU WERE ABLE TO DESCRIBE PRETTY WELL HOW POWERFUL JIYONG IS AND THAT HE CONTROLS MANY PEOPLE, EVEN SOME IN THE POLICE WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO CATCH THEM.
ORIGINALITY (10/10) - I THINK THE STORIES PLOT WAS REALLY ORIGINAL BECAUSE IT IS NOT A TYPICAL LOVE STORY BUT A STORY THAT HAS A LOVE STORY PART IN IT BUT IT IS NOT THE MAIN PLOT OF THE STORY.
TONE (5/5) - YOU DID TOTAL JUSTICE TO YOUR GENRES BECAUSE YOUR STORY WAS MYSTERIOUS, SOMETIMES IT HAD SOMETHING OF A THRILLER AND IT HAD CRIME IN IT BUT ALSO SOME LOVE. YOUR STORY IS REALLY DARK BUT THE LOVE PARTS, THE PARTS WHERE YOU SHOW HOW THEY CARE FOR EACH OTHER AND ARE SOME KIND OF FAMILY FOR EACH OTHER MAKES IT EASIER TO READ THE STORY BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT IS HARD TO READ MORE THAN ONE CHAPTER WHEN THERE ARE REALLY SERIOUS TOPICS IN YOUR STORY IN THIS CASE MURDER AND THE CALLOUSNESS OF SOME OF YOUR CHARACTERS.
NARRATION (3/5) - MOST OF THE TIME IT WAS REALLY GOOD, YOU CHANGED THE POVS IN SOME CHAPTERS SO THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT SOME CHARACTERS AND WHAT THEY FEEL AND THINK. OR FOR CHAERINS CASE WE GOT TO KNOW A BIT OF HER PAST. BUT WHEN HE HAD A POV OF SUJIN IT WAS A BIT WEIRD SOMETIMES THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HER IN THE THIRD PERSON BUT THEN YOU SUDDENLY CHANGED IT TO YOU, THERE ARE EVEN SENTENCES YOU STARTED WITH YOU OR HER AND THEN CHANGED TO THE OTHER PART.
STORYLINE (8/10) - THE STORYLINE IS REALLY GOOD AND I WAS SO ADDICTED TO READING IT. THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO MARK HERE IS THAT WHEN I WASN'T FINISHED WITH THE STORY I FOUND IT A BIT SAD THAT YOU STARTED REALLY GOOD WITH WRITING ABOUT THE DRAGON CASE AND THE SASAENG CASE EQUALITY BUT AFTER SOME TIME YOU STOPPED WRITING ABOUT THE SASAENG CASE WHICH WAS A BIT DISAPPOINTING FOR ME BECAUSE YOU WROTE ABOUT THIS CASE MOSTLY IN THE FOREWORD. AFTER READING THE END OF THE STORY I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTOOD WHY YOU CHOSE THE TITLE OF YOUR STORY BECAUSE WHEN YOU SUMMARIZED EVERYTHING IN THE LAST CHAPTER AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE STORY. MAYBE I SHOULD MENTION TOO THAT IN THE END WHEN YOU REVEALED THAT SUJIN KILLED THE SASAENG FAN I WAS NOT REALLY ABLE TO CATCH THE REASON FOR IT, ONLY AFTER THE LAST CHAPTER I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD IT.
FOR THE FLOW OF THE STORY I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS REALLY SMOOTH THE WAY YOU WROTE THE CHAPTERS. YOUR DESCRIPTION OF EVERYTHING AND THE FEELINGS WAS REALLY GOOD AND YOU EXPLAINED THINGS THAT MADE ME QUESTION IF YOU MAYBE ARE WORKING AT THE POLICE.

PROPER USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE (25/25)
PROPER GRAMMAR/PUNCTUATION (10/10) - THE GRAMMAR AND PUNCTUATION WAS GOOD OVERALL,
TERMONOLOGY (5/5) - YOUR VOCABULARY IS REALLY GOOD, YOU USE MANY DIFFERENT WORDS AND NOT WORDS THAT A NON NATIVE HAS TO LOOK UP. THE WAY WORDS YOU USE ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
LANGUAGE BARRIER (10/10) - THERE WAS NO LANGUAGE BARRIER I WAS ABLE TO SEE AT ALL.
REVIEWER'S ENJOYMENT (5/5)
I REALLY ENJOYED READING YOUR STORY, IT WAS MY DRUG FOR THE PAST DAYS. JUST ALL THESE THINGS THAT HAPPENED, I SERIOUSLY NEEDED TO TO WAIT FOR SOME HOURS BEFORE I COULD WRITE THIS REVIEW BECAUSE MY BRAIN WAS STILL PROCESSING YOUR STORY.
SO KEEP UP THE REALLY GOOD WORK!
