REVIEWER'S CORNER
The poster is beautiful, by the way, I really liked that. It shows a good action vibe, so kudos to whoever did that. I liked this story a lot and I will subscribe to it to get future updates, I'm hooked. 

And, although it's not much, I want to put this in my small little "featured stories" section, even if no one really looks at that section, it deserves to be there.

Anyways, thank you for requesting! Please make sure to credit the shop and I hope to see you again! I look forward to your updates. ♥

Title:
First of all, I really like this title. It's not one I've seen before and it really does have a mysterious vibe to it and I absolutely love that in a title. Honestly, the poster alone made me go "wow," which really leaves a good impression on the story. I can see why it's called "Sins Of The Fathers" just by the description and that's good because you can see that the title has a purpose and isn't just there to sound cool. It's not a cliche title and it really does leave wonders, to say I'm enthralled by the title is really an understatement.

Description/Foreword:
That description is really damn good. Like, it's captivating and really shows the elements of action and you can tell will go down to the ground. My favorite part is "The backlash of her father's misdeeds haunts her and one question is left hanging: to ride or die." I love how the die is crossed out which really shows that the character, Lee Bora, is not ready to die yet and is willing to fight. I'm actually kind of excited to read this just from the description, though the foreword is very promising as well. 

The foreword is very humorous to me, I think it kind of keeps Jackson's real life personality while adding this "dangerous" kind of vibe to his personality. "You don't get to panic when you're being chased down by cutthroat men-in-black!" This part made me laugh because honestly, that'd be me. I'd so panic in a situation like that one and once, I even said "GO LEFT" but if we went left, we would have hit a bank's wall LOL. So that was a nice little relatable moment for me some how. 

Plot:
The prologue got me hooked way too fast, like what the hell? I love how Bora's mother tried to get them away from her father because she knew he was a bad man but Bora claimed that her dad loved them because her being that young could obviously show that she's still young and doesn't understand. Althought the car crash part was kind of cliche since many stories use that concept, I still thought it put a good impact on the story. I like how the prologue starts and ends the same way, it really shows an impact.

The first chapter already is relatable to my stupid kid self. I was younger than 11 when it happened but I was playing hide-n-seek and my dad and his (bleh) girlfriend of the time told me to hide in the cabinent under a like fancy showcase thing (hard to explain), it was ing cramped in there but I won the game so I guess it was worth sitting there for almost half an hour, HAHA. Anyways, moving on, I was confused to where she was until it said "her trial" and I was like "oh " because they're marking her as guilty for a car accident? That's crazy. Oh what the, IT WAS A DREAM. Geez, way to make me freak for a second (this is the most unprofessional review I've done because I'm just gushing over everything).

The second chapter makes me really like the way the characters interact with each other. Yoona and Bora seem like real people (well, you know what I mean) who have real problems. Yoona got dumped, she takes it out on Bora and has jealousy towards her. I've seen that happen before and it really gives some character to them.

As the story progresses, I really love the plot more and more. I love how even though he mother was in a car accident, something you sometimes cannot control, after hearing the conversation, she thinks that was on purpose so her mother was technically murdered. That kind of puts a nice twist on a cliche idea of "parent dies in car crash". I also like how the chapter titles relate to the story. "Pity Party" was my favorite since that's also a song by Melanie Martinez but besides that I love how Bora says "this is no pity party."

I also love the action vibes that came off of chapter five and six, I felt a small sugar rush when I read those, which really shows the impact of your writing style.

Writing Style/Flow:
I really love the detail and care you put into every sentence. You took time to explain the surroundings the character is in and that can really paint a good picture. You took good time explaining the main character, Lee Bora, and her background. The flow is perfect, everything goes together ing amazingly. It's beyond me, honestly. I've been writing for years yet I still haven't perfected how to describe things like you have in this, I think I'm the jealous one! (Kidding). Overall, I'm really impressed and I think writing is something you're definitely good at.

Characterization:
I think you gave personality to Lee Bora very well. She lost her mother and her father seems to not care much about her. While these are generic ideas, you made them very unique to the story. They really show how much Lee Bora is impacted by the events that had happened as a child (e.g. the dream, her artwork) and that's very impressive. Lee Bora is a very good character. I like how she doesn't get along with Jackson and they bicker, it's a good clash of personality.

Although Yoona isn't a main character, or really in the story much, I wanted to talk about her, too. The way you added in Yoona and the way Yoona broke down from her kind of cold attitude towards Bora really shows how relatable and human she is. I like how she admits she is jealous but is "working on it."

Jackson's introduction to the story was good, I like how Bora snuck in because she saw a foreign car next to her fathers. His personality, as I stated before, it kind of like Jackson's in real life but with a darker twist to his actions and that makes it much better in my opinion. "See ya, old man." Seems like something Jackson would jokingly say to someone, honestly. And I like what you did with the way he speaks, he sounds very professional and good at what he does.

Woobin's personality seems nice too, I'm adding him in because of the part where Bora and Woobin have a conversation. Though it's to be expected, I like how he's like "don't open old wounds" and that it was just a 'misunderstanding', it's a good way to counter the main character.

Personal Enjoyment:
I ing loved that to be honest, this is a lot to write but damn, I really did. I didn't want to analyze every detail because really, my big mouth has said (typed...) enough for today but really, this is very enjoyable and I do look forward to future updates!
