CRYBABY

 
POSTER HERE

Genre: Drama, Angst

 

Characters: Taehyung, Minah, Seungyoon, Irene (minor)

Taehyung was just a normal, levelheaded sophomore at college until he was dragged into a forced marriage...

A marriage that could drive him a whole emotional roller coaster.

Notes From Reviewer

 

The poster is beautiful really, the gif of the rose makes it a lot more appealing but honestly besides that, there's just not much great about it. It's another generic fanfic. Again, didn't mean to sound mean or anything but I'm just an honest person. Anyways, thank you for requesting, don't forget to credit the shop and I hope this was somewhat useful. If you have any questions, concerns, etc., let me know.

Title 

I know this is a reference to Minah's song, I guess, but I don't really get why this is the title. I've only read the first chapter and skimmed through the second so if there is really a deeper meaning, I wouldn't know. Other than that, it just seems this is this title because Minah is in it.

Description & Foreword 

The moment I read the description, I knew it was going to be cliche. I have seen way too many arranged marriage fanfics when it doesn't even happen much, especially in South Korea. It might happen in more rural villages (even then the chances are more low) but I really doubt that Taehyung lives in the rural parts considering that isn't really how it's presented. In this time and age, most people marry who they want and this is just the most overused thing I've seen. 

Plot

So I took some time to go through all the tags to find arranged marriage tags and overall there are 3,447 of these, many of which have been featured. Arranged marriage is not something that should be written about if we are in the present time. If people want to write about it, they should change the time period considering it was popular back then, not now. This is 2016, most countries (excluding a few) do not do this anymore and this kind of plot is not interesting at all at this point since it's been done so many times.

It sounds as if there is no plot to this. It's just another boring arranged marriage fanfic that AFF seems to have a lot of. As I said in the FLOW section, it's rushed; there's nothing there. He's being told he is getting married then he is married by the end of the chapter. There's no story there.

Writing Style 

It's average, and why is that thing in chapter one highlighted? People really don't need a highlighter to understand what's going on plus that's bright as hell. It hurt my eyes to look at. Advice would be to remove the highlight, it's not needed nor does it look attractive at all. Other than that, there is some things I found bothersome with the way it was written. The ending of chapter two was kind of cringe worthy. The way the BTS members were presented just made it very cringey. And in the story, unless he is a BTS member, I wouldn't refer to them as "BTS" just a "group of friends."

Characterization 

Characters are generic, not unique, boring. If Taehyung REALLY didn't want to be forced into a marriage, he would have fought, most people would have if they were against it. What do we know about them? Barely anything besides they got forced into a marriage. Taehyung showed zero protest against his parents which really made it kind of boring.

Flow 

The story seems rushed and I've really only gotten through the first chapter. One second, he's being forced by his parents into this marriage and then he's married by the end of the chapter. What? There's really no background at all. The flow is very choppy and honestly not very well planned out. As I said, too rushed. Things happen WAY too quickly and there's no real drama or anything. It's just kind of there.

Personal Enjoyment 

Truth be told, I finished the review at the first chapter which honestly isn't that good of a sign. I knew I'd have a lot to say even before reading because of the arranged marriage idea, it's overused and just not fun to read in my opinion. I might sound a little harsh but that's the truth. There are too many of these fanfics on this website and not only that, all of them seem similar with the way they are presented which is boring. It's like reading the same book reworded by several different people. Story is the same, way it's written is a little different, if that comparison makes sense.
