Sehun's Review and Recommendation Café [Closed]

Description

current status: |Closed | Slow update|

Ask for review!

This is the right place for you if you would want a detailed review rather than a few lines because we will try our best to be as detailed as possible and be as helpful as we can!

Recommendation: Most of the recommended stories I recommend are one-shot so you could enjoy them on a daily basis! I will try to update one one-shot recommendation on a monthly basis (at least)!

Review: You could request for review for you story! What's different from the other shops around is that you can actually choose whether you want your story review to be graded or not! You can request for non-graded review, where no score or markings will be given! Moreover, you can request as many times as you want!

Old reviews can be found here: ‣The Good Ol' Days

Description & Foreword: (-/20)

The description and foreword is as important as the story's title, it has to be eye-catching, interesting, short and sweet and must be related to the story. The description and foreword shouldn't be revealing too much or too little information and the page has to be pleasing looking. Any grammar/language mistakes should be raised and corrected if neccasary.

Plot: (-/30)

Originality of the plot takes up a huge part in plot's marking. However, do not misunderstand that overused/cliché plot will definitely be unoriginal. If the author is able to take an overused/cliché plot and mold it into a original plot with plot twists or written with a different aspect, reward the author. The plot aspect has to be unique, interesting, exciting, surprising and most importantly, it has to be realistic. Comment on story plot about what the reviewers like and dislike and explained how to make it better or how to improve it. A good plot needs complications/problems to thicken the plot and to make it entertaining to read. Lastly, the ending of the plot has to be impactful and has to achieve reviewer/reader's satisfactory.

Originality: (-/30)

Language: (-/20)

Firstly, comment on author's writing style, overall language/grammar abilities and author's descriptive writing. For descriptive writing, was the author able to move or touch reader's feelings and emotions through writing, in other words, were the author able to deliver her writings well? Secondly, point out author's mistakes and explained on how to improve them. Some common mistakes to look out for is grammar, inconsistent tenses, incomplete sentences, punctuation, fragmented sentence structure, informal writings, capitalizing etc) Reviewers could add anything else that relates to language but also do not forget to show the solution on how to improve them.

Writing Style: (-/20)

Characterization: (-/30)

The characters in the story has to at least be realistic and memorable to the readers, for example: A perfect human being is less likely to be realistic for liking. There should be excessive or adequate information of the main characters, which includes their background, past, features, physical appearance and characteristics.

Flow: (-/30)

The flow of the story has to flow smoothly from one scene to another, by constantly changing point of view would likely lead to being choppy. The pace of the story has to good enough for readers to catch up but it mustn't be too slow that it might turn off readers. The author has full control of the flow and pace of the story, reviewers can comment and give their opinion if it's going too fast/slow. Changing scene/point of view/chapter can be tough as authors must be able to pull it off by describing the scene fully before continuing.

Reader's Scope/ Overall Enjoyment: (-/10)

This is probably the part where reviewer's personal opinion is advice but fully explain the reasons why you did or did not enjoy the story. This segment is a individual standing segment where despite everything that the author did not manage to pull off. Some examples that could be written here are as the following: You love the author's writing style, the story was interesting, you love the characters in the story etc. More importantly, voice out opinion and thoughts based of as a reader point of view instead of a reviewer.

Additional Comments: I enjoyed and appreciated the last review pilsuk provided me the last time, which was for my fic Awake My Soul. I would like to thank you again for that! It totally helped me into correcting the mistakes you acknowledged. Anyway, I would be more than privileged if you reviewed my this Chanbaek piece. I posted this almost a year ago btw :) I don't really mind if it will take time. I completely understand. Thanks again!

Chapter 282: Thank you so much for the lovely review!
Yes, I did look around for graphic shops, but the only two I liked were on hiatus so I decided the poster would just have to wait. And thanks for your positive comments on the description, because that was the part I spent the most time writing and I honestly worried about giving too much away. But there were a lot of things I drew from personal experience, so seeing that you seem to be able to relate to the story and characters really makes me happy as a writer. I would love to request another review later on when I've uploaded more of the cic (when I have time to write more of the fic), but for now I've credited the shop! Thank you!
