There are two types of review service provided: Graded and Non-graded. You can also custom-made for Graded review according to your needs. For example, you might want me to focus only on the plot, flow and originality. If your story is character-driven, you might want me to analyse deeply on the characters instead of the plot. You just have to notify me of how you want your review done in the 'author's note' when you're requesting (or any other ways as long as your message reaches me). The marking/grading for each custom-made review requested will be different. The final score will be tailored accordingly as the overall percentage for any type of review will be out of 100%.  
*Note: I know I have no right to really grade your fic as there is no particular quality of a good writing/story that applies to all. I will try to be as professional as I could in my review.  Please keep in mind that the grade I'm giving you does not function as a measurement of your success in writing.
Graded Review (Rubric)

Title (_/5): I won’t be too picky regarding the title as long as it makes sense to the story. I would keep in mind that choosing one is very hard, but it has to be relevant and relatable as well. The title should also able to attract the readers’ attention.

Poster/Background (_/5): The poster and/or background need to be in sync with the mood the story exudes. You shouldn’t have a bubbly and colourful poster/background for a dark/serious/sad writing. If you don’t have any poster or background, I will exclude this element from the review.

Description and Foreword (_/10): I might be a bit critical on this element. This is an extremely important part in writing as it gives insight to how the story will turn out later. The author’s ability to rouse the interest of a potential reader is also crucial.

Plot (_/30): The plot has to be solid. This will especially apply to plot-driven story that involves lots of actions. It should be built up in a careful manner, showing how an action leads to another plot point. 

Characterization (_/30): Characters have to be human-like; flawed and 3-dimensional. Stock character is a big no for me, and I will not hesitate to deduct mark for it.

Originality/Creativity (_/5): Stories need originality to spice things up. Stories can also be gripping enough to be read without it. However, creativity should be necessary to bring excitement into your story!

Spelling, Vocabulary & Grammar (_/15): Since I’m not a native speaker, I won’t be able to look too much into this. You will be fine as long as there is no prominent mistake that can affect my reading. If there is any repeated (and obvious) error, I will point it out and help correcting it.

Flow (_/10): Pace shouldn’t be too quick or too slow!! It should be consistent.

Writing Style (_/15): Everyone has a different style of writing; thus the reason that this element is one of my favourites. I would be focusing on the mood and emotion your writing evokes, as well as the meaning in the text. 

Overall Enjoyment (_/5): Basically, if I enjoy reading your story, a higher mark will be given here.

 

TOTAL: __/130

PERCENTAGE: __/100%

GRADE:

 

Non-graded Review
 
For this type of review, I will provide general review and my thoughts on your story. I will not focus on any particular elements. There are some that I would possibly mention if needed, such as the plot or the characters or the flow (major things that will affect reading). I might mention things that stand out to me (personally and not) too; whether they are something positive or negative. I will be putting myself in both the shoes of a reader and a reviewer. The length of the review will also depend largely on the result of my reading. 
 
 
 
 
About Reviewer (koneko_):
Hi! My name is N. I'm an Asian.
I'm majoring in Language & Literature.
My favourite genre would be angst, sci-fi, and gay lit.
Genre I don't really favour but okay with is romcom.
Unless it is told in a very interesting manner,
romcom will stay as my least favourite.
However, I'm open to review all kind of stories and genres.
So, don't hesitate and request!

Hi there Koneko,
I have been looking out for reviewers but since mine is a Japanese theme, I figured you may like to check it out since your name is Japanese too :) Hope that you will consider reviewing this story.

Character(s)/Pairing(s): 2Jae (GOT7's Youngjae and Jaebum)
Type: Non-graded
Author's Note (if necessary): Even though this is non-graded, I would love it if you could put particular attention on Youngjae's characterization and whether or not you saw any growth by the end of the story (or until the last chapter you read). This was my main focus of the story so I'd love any and all thoughts on this matter (even if they are just ramblings!). Characterization in general is super important. Thanks a bunch!

Story Title & Link: Where He Waits
https://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/902211/
Genre(s): angst, romance
Character(s)/Pairing(s): OC, Chanyeol, Kyungsoo
Type: Custom Graded (everything except title, poster/background, description/foreword)
Author's Note (if necessary): I discontinued this story about 2 years ago because I started uni and life got to busy. However, I've been planning on completing and revising it to prepare for publication ever since then. I'm ecstatic to see that you're majoring in Language and Literature. As a bio major, I'm afraid I may be missing some fundamentals of writing since all I do is study science (ha). It would be a tremendous help if you could review my story seriously and informatively! Thanks so much!
