Chapter 2: Thank you for your review, it’s really a good guide. I think this should be the first iz*one reader digest. Fighting author-nim.

Chapter 2: The reviews are great! I love how you put two stories into one reviews to compare both

To avoid anyone getting spoiled, maybe you should put spoiler warning before review~

Great job!

Chapter 2: I think the format of the review is great actually. You did a really great analysis between both of the story, how they are similar and different. I think if you had to limit your review to only certain part so as to avoid spoiler, it will stop you from writing a great review.

And I'm not sure if you ever read this story, but this is always my go to when I need a fic to recommend.

Chapter 2: Engage is one of the AUs that made me a Kkubi shipper. Their mutual hate for each other in the early part of their relationship was really fun to witness. One of the best Kkubi AU and even in the whole IZ*ONE AUs I have read. Kkubi and 2Kim's storylines are well-balanced and blended perfectly, the author made me feel satisfied with the ending they gave for both storylines.

Meanwhile, this is the first time I've heard of Captain Kwon. From your brief summary of it, it does seem very good. I just checked it out but it's not yet completed (though it was reuploaded) T^T. Anyway, I'll definitely check it out!

Chapter 1: statistic that i actually care about, first time i see it done on ship popularity. one thing that i was very shock about was how from march 2021 to april 2021, some of the fics for some ship actually decreased instead of increase. i did notice many fics that i was interested in during this time being remove, but i didn't know that it affected many of the other ships that i didn't follow. there is one thing that always triggered me about aff tagging system though. normally for cp fics, there are many in which there are many ships in the story. on ao3, they let you decide who is the main ship and then let you list other smaller ships within the story. but aff doesn't let you do that so it hard to determine what fic is for what ship. there are many fics on aff where some writers put many ship tags but then those ship never actually appear in the story, so the data is skewed. thank you for doing the research, i really it. normally i am not into anything math related, but i like this because it related to fics.

Chapter 1: Oh my. I will be looking foward to this.

Chapter 1: Gat damn! You must have spent a lot of time and effort on this. I am amazed and thankful! And you are right about the pairings. I've been reading a lot of jinjoo fics lately although i prefer kkuchaen. It's hard to find good kkuchaen fics. I'd really appreciate if anyone can recommend me some. You're also right about nako. She rarely gets written as the main character.. Even lesser than hitomi but the duo always play such a huge role in crackfics lol. I'm looking forward to your findings!

Chapter 1: Wah— this is fascinating now that I see it in numbers. I mostly agree with all of this findings. I rarely see Nako have pairings romantically, she's mostly written if not as someone's best friend, a daughter, sister, or a niece.

Seeing Jinjoo topping the list, I am not surprised. They've got a huge following so it's natural they're the most written ship out of everyone.

Seeing Minkkura having a small number makes me wonder why because it seems that they could be a level below the top ships of IZ*ONE. Kangbi, Kwonchaeng, Ssambbang, is below Eunsaku? Makes me quite surprised as for me I think of Eunsaku/Kkubi as an underrated ship, or something that only a few follow.
