Story

Title (4/5)

Judging this solely based on the relationship between the mother and daughter yes I think it's almost as beautiful a title it can be. I believe the gist of the story will come in with Woohyun's entry so do note your title and intentions as you go along. 
 
Foreward/Description (9/10)
 
I really like your description I think it sums up the story perfectly; in a way that gives the whole storyline away but not the twist/highlight so it's very appropriate.
 
I will judge you however on your language and how it could have been phrased in a better way. 
 
Appearance (4/5)
 
The feel it gives is great but I might have liked it better with Myungsoo/Junhee in it just because the story up to chapter 7 has revolved around them. 
 
Plot (11/15)
 
A matured storyline with deep meanings and well-thought out relationships which cover over friendship, family and love; definitely a intricate piece of artwork. But. Lower score simply because the story has barely started out. 
 
To be honest, there isn't much to criticise at this point in time save the last chapter where Woohyun claims to not fancy old women; twenty-seven being the first limit set and then takes an interest in a thirty-three year old? Also be careful when you go into the relationship of Jinae and Woohyun because a student and a practically CEO; not easy in terms of maturity and mindset. 
 
PS. Sunggyu and Sungyeol is <3
 
 
Originality (14/15)
 
As per above, credit definitely given here for choice of matured and interesting plot. 
 
Language (15/20)
 
Generally, improvements can be made in the phrasing aspect starting with longer and more descriptive sentences. 
 
Few mistakes I decided to pick out:
 
Does it make her a murder?
Does it make her a murderer?
 
Woo Hyun older cousin brother 
Woo Hyun's older cousin
 
What you love is the richest I have, right?
You love my riches, right? 
 
You're a 's daughter which made you a too.
You're a 's daughter, which makes you a too. 
 
See what happens when you act all heroes!
See what happens when you act all heroic! (See, this is what happens when you try to be a hero!)
 
Flow (8/10)
 
Nothing much to penalize actually, flow is generally ok except there's no push and suspense after each chapter. It's simply one super long story randomly cut. 
 
Characterization (9/10)
 
Jinae's character is very well detailed and I must say I haven't found any missing background as of yet or question her behaviour. 
 
Woohyun's still come off a bit sketchy to me but that'll come in the future and...I love Myungsoo. 
 
Overall Enjoyment (9/10)
 
I enjoyed it really. I'm an Infinite fan so it was fun, I can say that you kept to their characters pretty well (except Sunggyu and Sungyeol feels a bit switched)

Chapter 134: Thank you for taking the time to review my story oohkatsoo. I didn't mind the wait and getting the additional perspective was a good thing in the end. ;)
I have been warned about the too many characters too quickly thing in a previous review and have yet to try and fix that, but duly noted again. haha As for the capitalization issue, I think I was going for that fairly bizarre context (in English anyway) where you capitalize some of the terms when they refer to very specific named creatures (Namjoon's father as a Titan (Perses in his back story) versus titans as a race). Likewise for chimaera though that one was never meant to be capitalized. The only one I really had an issue with in writing was actually Cyclops and that was because my spell checker kept saying the lowercase spelling was wrong. >.> lol
I will certainly consider adding more descriptions or definitions for some of the harder to grasp terms, such as what a titan actually is, in the future. I was much better about doing that in my Norse mythology story to be honest. lol I'm pretty sure the time crunch to finish it before the deadline made me sloppy here.
The game they played was meant to sort of parallel a crude cross between more modern day football (in the US) as evidenced by the in-story name, which is a fairly barbaric sport to begin with, and the gladiator events of ancient Greece and Rome, which were very barbaric events in which the competitors often died. As for the sudden appearance of the monster, I'm not sure I can actually fix that one, or if I want to at the moment. I'll think it over and see what comes of it, but either way, I do appreciate the review all the same.
It's especially nice to confirm what I am able to do well in the story just as much as it's good to be aware of what can be smoothed out more. So again, thank you for the review. I hope my comment might be able to help explain things a bit more in turn but I shall credit you and the shop immediately. ^_^

Chapter 113: Thank you for the review! I didn't expect what you gave me, I was honestly thinking it would be a lot worse. I'll definitely keep in mind what you said about Title and Appearance. I did feel the same about the title being less focused on the main character when you mentioned it, so that's definitely something I'll work on. I might see if I can change the title to a more fitting one (but I'm soooo bad at titles >_<). Thank you again for taking the time to review my story. You don't know how much it means to me that you at least enjoyed it ^_^
