NOTE: None

(10/10) Title: The title fitted with the storyline and plot perfectly! Kudos to you there!

(9/10) Character: Each character development progresses nicely. However Suho/Junmyeon's character seem to be stuck in the past and present, it wasn't a big issue. But other than that I could imagine each character in their own situations exactly the way you described it. Jongin's personality and traits stick with him till the end and that was well done! Great job!

(10/10) Originality: The reality and feels of the story is real and fun to read because of its twists and how it was described. I was basically watching a drama because it was that good! I loved it. 

(40/40) Storyline/Plot: The storyline was beautifully written! It's completely different from other fics I've read! It really stood out and I was stuck in the story because it was just so real! I really loved how different each character are and how their paths cross. Especially how Junmyeon got caught in that situation, made me squeal. I even envied his position for a brief moment! Absolutely gorgeous storyline you have going on. 

(23/25) Grammar/Errors: English isn't your first language?! You've got to be kidding! The way you word and describe each scenes made it a more interesting read! Minor errors, like forgetting and leaving out a word every now and then. Sentence structure didn't bother me since every word usage in there was meaningful. 

(5/5) Overall Enjoyment: I enjoyed and loved it. I'm not a big EXO fan but hey, your story made me squealed and angry just as much as if the idols were my biases. I subscribed and up-voted because it deserved it! I'll continue reading Dirty Beat because I'm dying of curiosity as to what will happen next. 

(97/100) Points Total  Nicely Done!

Bonus: Your questions and focuses for us:

"It would be nice if you can give more attention to the character development, as well as the flow."

You mentioned that you thought the story's progression was moving too fast. I thought the flow and pace of it was just right! I could see the story ending with a cliffhanger because it's that just good! 

Thank you for choosing BLK Reviews and for your patience! Hope to hear from you again!

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)

- 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.
