Move On

TITLE.
JUST BY LOOKING AT THE TITLE I'M GUESSING SOMEONE (PROBABLY NAMJOON) IS GOING TO MOVE ON FROM POSSIBLY A RELATIONSHIP OR EVEN THE HOUSE HE BUILT ACCORDING TO TAEHYUNG. THATS GOING TO BE MY PREDICTION BEFORE READING, REALLY.

WELL IM GUESSING MY PREDICTION WAS RIGHT. THE TITLE IS A BIT TOO OBVIOUS TO HOW IT'LL END BUT NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT.

DESCRIPTION/FOREWORD.
THERE'S A FEW WEIRD SENTENCES, HERE AND THERE. LIKE THIS LINE HERE: "BUT, DON'T YOU THINK IT IS A WASTE SINCE YOU TOOK CHARGE OF DESIGNING AND BUILDING THIS HOUSE SINCE A YEAR AGO? YOU EVEN DECORATED IT YOURSELF." TAEHYUNG PROTESTED." 
"BUT DON'T YOU THINK IT'S A WASTE SINCE YOU TOOK CHARGE OF BUILDING AND DESIGNING THIS HOUSE A YEAR AGO? YOU EVEN DECORATED IT YOURSELF."
THE REASON I SWITCHED BUILDING AND DESIGNING AROUND IS BECAUSE IT JUST SOUNDS BETTER TO ME, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I ALSO REMOVE THE SINCE FROM "SINCE A YEAR AGO" BECAUSE THAT DIDN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE IN THE CONTEXT IT WAS USED IN.

THE LAST PART "NAM-JOON FIGHTING!!!" IS KIND OF OUT OF PLACE AND SOUNDS "UNPROFESSIONAL" TO PUT IT THAT WAY. IT'S NOT REALLY NECESSARY SO MAYBE REMOVING THAT WOULD MAKE IT SOUND BETTER.

PLOT.
KIND OF GENERIC PLOT. IT'S THE WHOLE "CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS BUT SEVERAL YEARS LATER ONE IS MARRIED TO ANOTHER MAN/WOMAN" KIND OF THING. I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE AND IT'S NOTHING SPECIAL REALLY. IT KIND OF HAD A PREDICTABLE ENDING. 

WRITING STYLE/FLOW.
THE ONE THING THAT WAS WEIRD TO ME IS HOW NAMJOON WAS WROTE AS "NAM-JOON" NO ONE REALLY TYPES IT AS NAM-JOON. IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE WEIRD THINGS AND PERSONALLY, I'VE ALWAYS WRITTEN NAMJOON (AS HAS EVERYONE I KNOW WHO WRITES/ROLEPLAYS). OTHER THEN THAT, JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS STORIES THIS ONE DOES HAVE OTHER AWKWARD GRAMMAR. THIS TIME, I'LL REALLY ONLY POINT OUT ONES THAT REALLY STAND OUT BECAUSE I THINK YOU GET THE JIST BY NOW. 

THE STORY MADE A HUGE TIME GAP FROM PROLOGUE TO CHAPTER ONE WHICH I GUESS MAKES SENSE BUT DAMN. SEVEN YEARS(?) IS A LOT.

CHARACTERIZATION.
I LIKE HOW YOU KEPT THE "GOD OF DESTRUCTION" VIBE ON NAMJOON AHAH, THAT'S ALWAYS FUN TO READ ABOUT. THE ONE THING I DIDN'T LIKE FROM THE START WAS THE FEMALE OC, SHE SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE A CHILD IN THE PROLOGUE. I DIDN'T REALLY LIKE HER THOUGH.

AND WHO IS SEBRING- I THINK THAT WAS A TYPO AT THE END OF THE EPILOGUE.

PERSONAL ENJOYMENT.
IT WASN'T MY TYPE OF STORY SADLY (PLUS I ONLY LIKE SEEING V WITH SUGA SINCE I'M TAEGI TRASH AS HELL) AND ITI WAS A BIT TOO PREDICTABLE, THERE WASN'T MUCH PLOT TWISTS WITHIN IT TO MAKE IT STAND OUT. AND I DON'T KNOW IF IN THE PROLOGUE IT WAS MADE CLEAR IF SHE WAS A CHILD OR JUST A SPOILED BRAT THAT ACTED LIKE ONE. I CAN'T REALLY TELL. THIS REVIEW KIND OF SEEMS SHORTER THAN THE OTHER ONES BUT I TRIED NOT TO PICK OUT MANY MISTAKES SINCE THEY'RE MINOR, MINUS THE DESCRIPTION SINCE THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART CONSIDERING THATS THE FIRST THING PEOPLE SEE. I THINK I SAID EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO SO THERE WE GO! THREE OUTTA FIVE DONE :P

Chapter 2: Awwww this is actually very realistic. The heroine decides to marry a man who loves her, and she feels comfortable with him. Besides it was Namjoon who left her. Oh my Namjoon..
First love is the most beautiful (or I think so) but the current and last love is whats important. I dont know but I hope the next chapter, please dont make Seorin linger her feelings with Namjoon anymore >●< it will be really complicated.
One thing I want to point out though... Namjoon left Seorin and for the entire 7 years they didnt even contact each other and update about their lives once in a while and then they make a reunion like that? Um Idk about this part but it seems unrealistic to me..

Chapter 3: I like how the story ended on a light note, like how Namjoon moved on. But also, I guess I was expecting more of a struggle from Namjoon? Like maybe if you had included scenes from that one year Namjoon was struggling with a broken heart I would enjoy it more, but otherwise it's a beautifully written story. It's short and sweet (unlike me I'm short and bitter) - good job author-him! <3

Chapter 2: Completely off topic but I thought the chapter title was misspelled because dan and and and idek anymore my head @@\

On a more relevant note, I'm rather picky about formatting so a suggestion would be to differentiate the text when it's a flashback and when it's not. Like maybe italicize the flashback parts? It makes it easier for us readers to keep track of where in the timeline we are in ^^

Also, I think that if you had placed that scene with Ji Changwook after Namjoon and Seorin met (like maybe Seorin coming home to Changwook sleeping with baby Mya?) it would create more of a shocking element. That aside, I think there's room for elaboration of Namjoon's emotions and thoughts. It'll make us more sympathetic of his character and maybe even make us cry lololol

Anyway this was a good read~ now onto the epilogue!

Chapter 1: I've never related to a kid more than Seorin omg. I once banned my brother from entering my room because he accidentally folded a page in a book of mine xD

This is a very good premise though. Gives us a solid view of how their relationship started and I don't even know what else to say other than they're so cute!!! >///<

Chapter 2: okay first of all, congrats to thr side couple on their office romance lolol im easily tempted by food hehe~

and now seorin and namjoon... wow o: on one hand, i wish they had reunited earlier and i hope he'll still show her the house (omg itd be so sweet if she saw it by chance without realising he had been the one to build it) but shes really happy with changwook >-<

oh and there were a couple of quotes i liked in this chapter including "Dreams would always remain dreams". time to read the final chapter ^^ im looking forward to it!

Chapter 3: Indeed, there is something different with your story. The plot, how the story progress, how the characters' relations to each other developed, it's refreshing. Although it's sad to learn that Seorin was married to Changwook and Namjoon was heartbroken on Seorin's birthday, the positivity of Namjoon's personality is lovely. Thanks to Taehyung, though, that he asked those questions at Namjoon. And Sohyun for insisting him not to sell the house. I love Taehyung and his gf relationship x) Sohyun and Namjoon also look great together (yeah I know Sohyun's married but their friendship is what something that made them looked adorable). How the story proceeded to its end is also decent but I love it when you wrote the scene of little Seorin and little Namjoon. They're so cute! So, to conclude it all, it's a refreshing read, the storyline is clear and pretty neat, and I adore how well the words flow. I simply love this ^_^

Thank you for writing and sharing it with us!
