Escape Hell Review
Forbidden Dreamers Review Gallery»Escape Hell Review«
Title (4/5)
Calling the place "hell" is very suitable; but I'm not sure if you want to revolve the story around "escaping hell" because if the hunhan love story is the main topic, "surviving hell" might be a nicer title. Just a suggestion. Because honestly I haven't sensed any strong will to escape from any one of them who's been trapped for decades.
Foreward/Description (9/10)
Good overall description but not sure if you want to include the content from the introduction chapter here. You describe the characters very briefly without delving into Seuhun's or Luhan's; you introduced their species here but you did not introduce the world to which they were born into.
Appearance (4/5)
The boys are gorgeous. Enough said. Good background choices as well.
Plot (13/15)
Very good so far with just a couple of pointers:
For the introduction I feel that there is a lack of explanation to how the evolution of such species came about. You have set this story in a "future" timeline so you might want to talk about how they came about; maybe some form of genetic mutation of evolution of humans and whether this is inherited genetics etc which makes the tracking easier because it goes down the family line.
Since you have modernized the setting; I feel that the "hell"set-up and torture methods could be more high-tech as well for example maybe the insertion of nano or chemical substances into their body and also more description into their cells; imagine something like that of "Thor" if you've watched the movie with high tech transparent walls or something which garners their powers useless etc
I'm sorry but I could not catch who the "IT" was when the guards were gossiping about them
Because the story is incomplete I am finding it hard to judge the pace of story development; so far I find Sehun and Luhan's relationship a bit lacking in terms of faster development; unless you have planned something huge to happen and bam for them to realise what they mean to each other. "The One" also hasnt been properly explained.
Originality (15/15)
You're creating a whole new world and species for your story so I'm going to give you a lot of credit here. I am not an EXO fan so you made me google and I found out that they have something called "the power badge" and you used their powers assigned. *thumbs up*
Grammer & Spelling (20/20)
Really nothing to penalize here.
Flow (8/10)
Generally well done except I feel that relationship development for the main characters as compared to the side characters is a bit lacking. Also if title is "escape hell" I havent seen any attempts at it. Other than that flow is good but you can improve on POV because you do switch between focusing on characters in the middle of a chapter; distinction could be made clearer.
Characterization (9/10)
So far so good on explanation of their past.
Overall Enjoyment (10/10)
Definitely not unsubscribing after this review so full marks here; looking forward to the rest of the story ;-)
