A Hundred Year's Love

ReviewerBubble

 
 
★ Title: [4/5] 

I like the title a lot. It suits well with the mood of the story and it tells something about the plot without spoiling it for the reader. 
There are titles similar to your title, but no title is exactly the same. 
Side now; I would use: “A Hundred Years of Love” or “Love of a Hundred Years” instead of “A Hundred Years Love” but I still like your title. 

★ Story Poster/Background: [7/10]

I think the story’s poster is good. To be honest; I’m not good with judging posters since I’m not an expert in making it as well. But I think that you could’ve blended the pictures of Tao and Kris a little tiny bit more. Not to be mean or anything; I enjoy the poster you had in the bottom of the story more than the main poster, without the animation off course.
I have no complains about the background since it fits with the poster.

★ Foreword & Description: [8/10]

The foreword and description is good. My only point is that you could use one standardized color when writing the character’s descriptions. Or maybe use one color for the headlines and another color for the rest of the text. 
I think the pictures you used in the foreword could’ve been a little bit smaller, but it was nothing that bothered me since I used to do the same thing myself. 

★ Plot: [15/20]

The plot is interesting; I have to admit that I find the story really interesting. I was almost hooked while reading it. I’m not sure if I have seen plots like it before but since it’s basically a story about forbidden love I believe that there are many stories here with the same kind of plot. But I think the way you write made it sound different.
I like the small twists you do in the story a lot. 

★Characterization: [7/10]

In the foreword, you give a brief background image of the characters. It’s good and you still don’t manage to reveal what that much of what will happen with them in the story. 


★ Originality: [3/5]

It’s kind of a historical story; I think there are quite a few of them here. I have never read one before since it’s not what I look for when I search. 
Otherwise; it’s a simple story about forbidden or impossible love in a historical perspective, but I really enjoyed reading it.

★Flow: [8/10]

The flow of the story is good in general, there seems like there’s always something happening and there is not much of dead time.
Your chapters can be short from times but you’re still never rushing the happenings too much. The flow is good! *thumbs up!*


★ Grammar & Spelling: [18/20]

You have a very good choice of your words; it fits perfectly to the situations and the theme of the story.
My only complaint is that you’re using Chinese in a few (or many) of the conversations. Even though you write the translation I lose track of where I am and what I just had been reading.
It would’ve been better if you just had been writing in English all the time. 

★ Overall Enjoyment: [5/5]

I like the story a lot. The theme is different from what I usually read and I would lie if I said that I wasn’t completely hooked after reading the small preview you had in the foreword. 
And trust me; I’m a picky reader ;)

★Bonus points: [4/5]

Mostly because I like the storyline in general and I think that I will continue to read it!
Side note; did you get the inspiration from “Gu Family Book”? Because that was the first thing I thought of while reading the foreword XD
