BEAST ET BEAUTY​

 

AUTHOR: KangminBread

REVIEWED BY: AmeYuki

 

TITLE: (4/5)

I could definitely see how the title relates to the story since Youngwoon is a werewolf, or “Beast”, and all, but is Sungmin really considered a beauty? Also, I suggest changing the “et” to English, or changing the whole title to French (The Beast and the Beauty, or La Bête et la Beauté). The title isn’t as original as it could be as well, but that’s alright since it is pretty hard to find an original, unique title. @(^_^)@

 

FOREWORD/DESCRIPTION: (7.5/10)

Starting with the description, I loved the quotes that you used. Although it was short, the quotes were very intriguing and definitely caught my attention.

 

Your foreword on the other hand was a bit confusing for me to understand. I had to go back and read it a couple of times to comprehend what was happening. But it did leave me wondering about Sungmin’s and Youngwoon’s story. Like how did they meet or how did their love progress? What happened to Kyuhyun’s family and such. I really wanted to click that next button and read the next chapter to know . . . so kudos for that. There are a few suggestions I would like to give to make the foreword more clear and easy to read along with some spelling and grammatical mistakes that I would suggest to change.

 

-“Kyuhyun pulled the dagger out in a trance. The werewolf growled lowly, but by the time Sungmin’s body fell down, the beast turned into a human male.” (A comma should be inserted here.)

 

-“The werewolf had pushed kyuhyun’s (-> Kyuhyun’s) mentor and the other hunter apprentice away.” (Kyuhyun’s should be capitalized.)

 

-“The werewolf was weak, disoriented for (-> from) the silver poisoning his blood. Kyuhyun had clean aim. He pushed Sungmin behind himself.” (Who is “he”? Is “He” Kyuhyun? Or is “He” the werewolf? Since you put “He” after introducing Kyuhyun again, for a second there, I thought Kyuhyun was the one that pushed Sungmin behind himself. In my opinion, you should just take out the sentence about Kyuhyun. It’s not necessary.

 

-“Why Kyuhyun didn't use his inhuman speed?” (-> Why didn’t Kyuhyun use his inhuman speed?)

 

-" ’Young master... please, don't... don't leave me... please, don't…’ The werewolf replied in between his cries. At that moment the beast looked so human.” You already mentioned at the beginning of your foreword that the werewolf turned into a human male so I don’t think this sentence is really needed.

Chapter 23: thank you so much for the review!!! :D :D I was trying out new writing style with this fic so these feedbacks are really important to me! and thank you for spotting those grammatical mistakes >.< I tend to mess up grammar often...
but may I ask that you mentioned "lack of necessary articles like 'the'", but I couldn't find where I need to put 'the' in the fic. Yes Ii have re-read it but I guess I still don't know where I've missed out the word?
anyways I really appreciate the review! It's very helpful and I am glad I request from you :) have a nice day~~

Chapter 22: Because it is crucially important to me, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the grammar section. I didn't get a beta-reader because I'm doing the editing myself over winter break and didn't want to waste anyone's time to comb through my story, so thank you for this.

LOL. No, in Chapter 000, this was only an exaggeration about Jungkook, but I can't blame you for taking it seriously though. The sarcasm was subtle. Anyways, for that reason, Jungkook hasn't moved up in school (like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory, that lil smart haha). Yes, Jungkook is smarter than most, but he's not a certified genius and it's why he treats his position in school with contempt.
I'm sorry. I don't explain my characters to reviewers like this because it sounds like I'm "defending" myself, but I wanted to point out that TDoJ is strong in its exaggeration. Haha.

No, I'm not offended at all! Not about the cliché-ness, not about the long chapters, none of that. I embrace the cliché-ness, tbh. Plus, I know there are chunks I could cut out of the story (which is what I'm doing right now. Lord help me.), but other than that, I'm used to this reaction and I like the different perspectives. Honestly, it flatters me that despite everything said in your review, you found great enjoyment in my story while remaining a critical reviewer throughout it. (Okay, I'm sorry for this feedback that isn't really feedback.)

At last, thank you for your corrections, advice, and time! I will have a second pair of eyes to help me after I do the first round of editing. Thank you for the honest and critical review and I'll credit right away! If any troubles or questions arise, I shall PM you if Google can't help me, but I won't bother you over winter break because of the holidays and school :)
