NOTE: One chapter - one-shot

(6/10) Title: It was too long, so long that I had to change the original font size of the headline above. I would either take the Always out and just have Expect The Unexpected. Or something like Unexpected Expectations

(3/10) Character: I let a few points off from the two characters. There wasn't any character background details. Minhyuk appears at her door steps, they watch a horror movie, play games, and bam love session. 

What I did pick up was that Minhyuk is an attention during video games, the female character screams a lot and has a Facebook. In the end Minhyuk confesses. 

(7/10) Originality: Back when I read everything on AFF, I found these stories a lot. Where the plot was a friend comes over, things happen and they end up together. I think it's great that your wrote this story for your friend, but I think it'd be greater if you wrote a one-shot that had a different plot and that'll litteraly blow your friend away. Like, whoosh.  

(23/40) Storyline/PlotYou jumped into the scene were Minhyuk showed up. In the beginning it sounded like she(the character) expected Minhyuk to come over because of how she welcomed him in. If they did schedule some fun time with each other than you should've had a scene where they planned everything out. Another one-shot that I had just reviewed had the same problems. 

A backstory is what I want to get the feel of everything. I cannot comment on the flow because it's a one-shot, but if I had to I'd say that you skipped a lot of things just to get to the end. I wanted to hear more dialogue. 

(13/25) Grammar/Errors: Since English is your first language I graded rougher than a person that has English as their second language. 

I told another author this and I'm not afraid to tell you, I don't really like stories that fuse Korean language into randomly, so that deducted some errors points. This is an English website, if you wanted to have Korean in it then write the whole thing in Korean. I've also included a correction side and a suggestion one, and all of this is in chronlogical order. 

For oppa you could've given Minhyuk a nickname. Something like Hyuk or to joke around say Hyukmin

I can't exactly point out each individual error you had because there were quite a lot, but they were all the same ones. When you end a sentence with a dialogue there needs to be a comma. 

Ex; Original: Half way through the movie you suddenly laugh "why are you laughing? this isn't comedy, pabo!"

Correction: Halfway through the movie you suddenly laugh, "Why are you laughing? This isn't a comedy, pabo!" 

Suggestion: Halfway through the movie you suddenly laugh, "Why are you laughing? This isn't a comedy, you dummy!"

Note: Capitalize the beginning of your sentences and remember the commas. 

Original: "annyeong Minhyuk oppa!" you greet him excitedly as you let him inside your apartment.

Correction: "Annyeong Minhyuk oppa!" You greet him excitedly as you let him inside your apartment.

Suggestion: "Hey Minhyuk!" You greet him excitedly as you let him inside your apartment. 

Note: If I've made a mistake myself or you think the correction isn't needed or right, comment down below so I can fix it or explain it to you. 

(3/5) Overall Enjoyment: Is this BtoB's Minhyuk? Hurhur, I like athetic guys so he's my bias. It's kind of a cheatsheet to give me a biased story, so you surely picked the right reviewer! I'm not into much face-to-face interaction so the ending made me somewhat uncomfortable .. 

(55/100) Points Total However cheatsheets are only for my enjoyment, they won't boast or lower your grade at all. 

Bonus: Your questions and focuses for us:

Errors: Work on your commas and capitalization. The rest are found under grammar/errors. 

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.
