Review for Memory in the Rain

[CLOSED] Bee's Review & Advertisement Shop

 

Title (4/5)

The title was definitely fitting and didn’t give away too much in my opinion. However, if I was searching through AFF and I came across the story, I would’ve gone right past it.

 Description/ Foreword (7/10)

I will give you credit for your Description, because that actually was good, and it intrigued me, just a little bit though. But the Foreword kind of bored me and annoyed me a bit, mainly because I am pretty sure Myungsoo has never said those words.  

Characters (8/10)

Your characters were original for the most part, mainly because most stories I see about Myungsoo or Jiyeon, the two of them are bullies or nasty. It was a bit refreshing.

Plot (20/20)

Your plot was different I guess. It didn’t bring tears to my eyes or make me feel something. But that may be because I don’t understand where this couple came from in the first place; they kind of were made up out of nowhere. So I can’t ever really get into stories about this ‘couple’. But the overall plot was very beautiful, and I like that you put it in Myungsoo’s point of view, since it is rare for a story on here to do it from the boys point of view.

Grammar (13/20)

You didn’t have any spelling errors, but you did seem to have trouble typing and expressing certain things.

“It turned out her father was my best friend’s father.”

I am pretty sure you meant to type: it turned out her father was my father’s best friend.

Also you wrote “I closed my eyes as multiple raindrops stung a little when it fell into my eyes.”

It would’ve flowed better if it was written like this: My eyes closed in an attempt to stop the rain from hurting my eyes any longer.

You also had many other mistakes that made it a bit hard to read.

 Flow (5/10)

Because of the many messed up sentences and awkward placement of certain words, it was very hard to read smoothly.

 Visual Things (14/15)

I don’t know what you did to your font or whatever it was, but it was kind of distracting me from reading your one shot. But besides that it was fine.

Ending (10/10)

The ending left me curious and a bit unsatisfied, but I guess there was no better way to end it.

 Extra Comments:

Like I said before it was bit hard for me to read and I am a huge Infinite fan too. But I hate it when random idol couples pop up. Like I am sorry, I don’t mean to offend any Jiyeon x Myungsoo shippers, but I don’t see where this couple came from. I don’t enjoy a story when random couples like this are the main focus. But I tried not to let that affect my judgment on the story. Good luck, because I can see you being an amazing writer in the future.

Total (81/100)

Memory in the Rain

Chapter 31: I'm here! ^^ First of all, I am so happy to read about your comment on the title because personally, i think a title is very important to capture a reader's attention and I am so glad you gave that a full mark ^^ And the description, if it wasnt for the ending, i bet i would get a higher marks right? After you pointed about the ending, i tried reading the description again and you were right. It is somewhat too cheesy and spoil the mood, my bad, wuuu~ >< I won't comment on each of it because that's just too long LOL but overall, I am happy with your review <3 I have weaknesses on grammar [always] and I need to expand my vocab and improve my sentence structure too

"Like I said before I honestly have no clue how you managed to make such an unoriginal idea somehow original and unique. I loved that a whole lot. " <--- you have no idea how much you motivate me with this. I am so happy to read that, thank you! ;___; <3

Chapter 33: Saw the ad xD Thank you very much. But I would like to add in a few additional things regarding my request :) I would like some words in the curse quote ("Hark! Hark now! ... a happy ending.") to be bolded if possible. The words are: regret, time, punishment, find, love, not, happy ending. If you can please bold them xD Thanks~

Two male gods, engaging in a love-hate relationship, caused massive chaos during a silly fight in the holy Palace called Paradise, otherwise known as Heaven. As the result The Great decided to punish them. A punishment that will last eternally.

" Hark! Hark now!
Mark my words, insolent creatures.
O how I regret thine existences; marry I doth.
Aye, time canst not be reverted verily.
Hereby the punishment thou deserve.
For lifetimes thou shalt find each other,
Love one another,
But I,
I wilt make sure thou wilt not have
A happy ending. "

"Hey hyung."
"What is it?"
"Do you believe in second chances?"

Genre: (but no ), angst, romance, fantasy, drama plus a bit of comedy and mystery.

Story title: The MatchMaker

Story link:http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/665333/the-matchmaker-arrangedmarriage-fluff-romance-you-exo-luhan-baekhyun

Summary:To love is a crime, a crime that is paid with the death penalty.

This is the law of society. However there is the other option. You can love the one whom society matches you with through the system simply called the "MatchMaker" where there are absolutely "no flaws" and "you'll love your match."

The "MatchMaker" is a system where all 18 year olds enter. They "match" you up with another girl/boy and you just simply get engaged, married, and have children.

But Byun Baekhyun and Cho Minji are lovers.

Secret lovers. Only a few know that secret. But still...

Secrets, especially one as dangerous as that, are meant to be kept secrets, because if spilled, you'll be lying in your grave.

But the "MatchMaker" had other plans for the secret lovers.

Genre: Romance

Characters: Cho Minji(OC)

Rated (yes/no) yes

Oneshot (yes/no) no

I'm still working on it T^T
