Story

 

Title (5/5)

Perfect title for a story of its perfection.
 
Foreward/Description (10/10)
 
Your short, simple and captivating descriptions are always well done. 
 
Appearance (4/5)
 
I couldn't quite understand the words on the poster; "watch him back..." and I reckon a more innocent and casual picture of Hyukjae could be chosen. But I have to give additional points for the beautifully created beautiful wolf Donghae.
 
Plot (14/15)
 
A fresh and interesting concept being introduced here; a differing take on the werewolf myth.
 
Just a couple of "questions" you might need to answer in the following chapters
-Since the whole species is new, we need to understand what is the factor that makes them transform between wolf and human (so far we can guess its the weather); how these species came about and whether they have any control over their transformation (especially since you brought in the young kids). Also I am not clear on the memories attained and kept in between the transformations. With your good desrciptive writing skills it might be interesting to do a physical write-up on one transformation as well.
-One thing I felt slightly lacking in the opening chapters was Hyukjae's growth and feelings towards the wolf within the 18 years because I get the fascination of a small kid but how they could be prolonged is a different matter.
-Also what Donghae thinks or feels about Hyukjae exactly; especially in his human form apart from just the comforting scent.
 
Originality (15/15)
 
Creating a new species is always interesting and challenging. You have definitely done well here.
 
Grammer & Spelling (20/20)
 
Nothing to penalize here.
 
Flow (9/10)
 
The chapters are slightly more lengthy mostly due to detailed descriptions. 
 
But I definitely like how their relationship is developing.
 
Characterization (9/10)
 
As mentioned above, more insight into their personal development and emotions could be good.
 
Overall Enjoyment (10/10)
 
Capitvated me from the start. Hit the subscribe button so full marks here. All the best!

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 ^_^
