Description and Foreword: (9/10)

You have an excellent description and Foreword! It’s formatted very nicely and both your description and the sneak peak is quite interesting and intriguing. I, for one, have a thing for mysteries (just asking, have you watched crime Scene?) and really do enjoy a good story about detectives and crime once in a while, and I’m sure many of the other readers on AFF do too.

You also have an original story since I don’t see many crime and mystery stories on AFF, so that is also an advantage as I’m sure many people will try your story out just for the reason of it being original and different from the average romance stories.

I don’t really have anything much to say about your foreword and description! It definitely catches a reader’s attention, and on a side note, your poster is very good. The only thing I can help you with I guess is to correct some grammatical errors found in your sneak peak. Before I go into that, I just want to congratulate you for your writing, it’s very fluent and expressive and I don’t see many grammatical errors despite English not being your first language.

 

Original: Flashing red and blue lights from police cars and ambulance concerned the whole neighbourhood, and were distracted from celebrating their feast on Christmas Eve.

Revised: Flashing red and blue lights from police cars and the ambulance concerned the whole neighbourhood, distracting them from their celebration feast on Christmas Eve.

Here, since you did not add ‘an’ or ‘the’ before the word ‘ambulance’, you would have needed to make it into plural form. But since usually, only one ambulance comes to the crime scene, you would need to add ‘the’ before the word ‘ambulance’. Also, I changed the part from ‘celebrating their feast on Christmas Eve’ to ‘celebration feast on Christmas Eve’ because in your original one, it meant that they were celebrating the feast instead of Christmas.

 

Original: Shocked, people around dropped their jaws when they confirmed that it was really the rising star – Oh Sehun. Anyone can recognize Sehun’s body even with the white cloth covering his whole body. His body structure was undeniably striking that anyone can easily recognize him. Everyone was still wondering why this did happen to him.

Revised: Shocked, people around dropped their jaws when they confirmed that it was really the rising star – Oh Sehun. Anyone could recognize Sehun’s body even with the white cloth covering his whole body. His body structure was so undeniably striking that anyone could easily recognize him. Everyone was still wondering why this happened to him.

Here, you were switching between present and past tense, so I just corrected that for you. Also, I added in some words and deleted some to make the sentence flow better.

 

There are still some more grammatical errors left in your sneak peak but I’ll just go over these two sections in this review. Congratulations for the high score in this section, and good luck with your story! 

 

♠ TOTAL SCORE: 9/10 x 100 = 90%

Chapter 11: I found myself on your reviews on my stories and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really needed your constructive criticism then and especially now since I'm recovering from a hiatus haha I am currently going through a huge editing with my stories so coming across your wonderful reviews on them again is seriously helping me figure out what I want my stories and my characters so thanks again!

Chapter 33: Thank you for your detailed and honest review. This story started as a way to vent, I did not have a particular plot in mind but was inspired by the happenings around me (Friends, families etc.) I wanted to write something that is painstakingly real. Not everything is all roses and sunshine and this is a serious disorder that many girls my age or not deal with. It's not easy to recover. It's not easy to admit you have a problem. It takes time and I wanted the story to focus on Haneul, her past, present and thoughts and I started adding characters afterwards. I need to review the story and edit it so that some things make sense. For the gloomy darkness that surrounds it, hehe. I wrote it at a bad time in my life and that's why it's so dark and hopeless. As to why I like this genre, it's the only one that makes sense to me. Life isn't a walk in the park. Reality is harsh and painful and I want to write stories that showcase that and that don't give false hope (If that makes sense).
For the use of parenthesis, I agree with you, I've actually stopped using them, hehe.
Thank you so much again for your honest commentary, you've given me the push I need to edit the story.
Thank you! :)

Chapter 25: Chapter 24: Hello there, thank you so much for the review
I learn so much from your review about what I lack in writing.
I've been in aff for almost four years, and I always have problem in the grammar.
I rarely get comment too, so I decided to get review to see what someone see in my story.
And I'll follow your suggestion to search for beta reader, and fix my foreword.
It's kinda sad thought to know the reader can't enjoy my story because of my grammar

And yeah, I'm going to give you credit soon <3
