Rules and Guidelines
Foreword
Title (_/5): I won’t be too picky regarding the title as long as it makes sense to the story. I would keep in mind that choosing one is very hard, but it has to be relevant and relatable as well. The title should also able to attract the readers’ attention.
Poster/Background (_/5): The poster and/or background need to be in sync with the mood the story exudes. You shouldn’t have a bubbly and colourful poster/background for a dark/serious/sad writing. If you don’t have any poster or background, I will exclude this element from the review.
Description and Foreword (_/10): I might be a bit critical on this element. This is an extremely important part in writing as it gives insight to how the story will turn out later. The author’s ability to rouse the interest of a potential reader is also crucial.
Plot (_/30): The plot has to be solid. This will especially apply to plot-driven story that involves lots of actions. It should be built up in a careful manner, showing how an action leads to another plot point.
Characterization (_/30): Characters have to be human-like; flawed and 3-dimensional. Stock character is a big no for me, and I will not hesitate to deduct mark for it.
Originality/Creativity (_/5): Stories need originality to spice things up. Stories can also be gripping enough to be read without it. However, creativity should be necessary to bring excitement into your story!
Spelling, Vocabulary & Grammar (_/15): Since I’m not a native speaker, I won’t be able to look too much into this. You will be fine as long as there is no prominent mistake that can affect my reading. If there is any repeated (and obvious) error, I will point it out and help correcting it.
Flow (_/10): Pace shouldn’t be too quick or too slow!! It should be consistent.
Writing Style (_/15): Everyone has a different style of writing; thus the reason that this element is one of my favourites. I would be focusing on the mood and emotion your writing evokes, as well as the meaning in the text.
Overall Enjoyment (_/5): Basically, if I enjoy reading your story, a higher mark will be given here.
