Wedding Jitters: Becoming Mrs. Byun Baekhyun - main story image

Story

Title (3/5)

Yes it is ideal but it I would have chosen something closer to your "something old..." and honestly the title is a tad bit too long.
 
Foreward/Description (8/10)
 
I loved the description and together with the title it does sum up the story pretty nicely without giving anything away. But considering I'm reading upon completion, credit goes to the chapter titles. 
 
Appearance (3/5)
 
It is a pretty poster but unfortunately it doesn't have a wedding feel that matches your title. 
 
Plot (10/15)
 
At first read I was thinking that it lacked substance but things picked up gradually throughout the chapter. I like how you're incorporating their love story into pre-wedding jitters however here are some feedback I hope you find useful:
 
-Their love story overall was lacking a lot, I saw no progression throughout the chapters. I understand that you are trying to link it back to the items but I did not quite enjoy their relationship progress from friends to lovers.
- In chapter 3 she was being labeled as an outcast after making her out to be very attractive in the opening chapters? I couldn't quite put my fingers on why
-No explanation was given how the bullies suddenly became their friends (Sehun etc)
-In chapter 4 I went; where did Kai come from?
-Also there was a lack of follow-up of how Baekhyun and Jasmine went from being friends to enemies when he joined the basketball team etc. This was significant because they were friends who would do anything for each other; there was no way Baekhyun could immediately abandon her and even insult her just to gain popularity. There has to be a strong underlying reason or trigger for such a change. You could have used this to your advantage especially on how they turned things around and became friends again
-I'm not sure if the blueberry muffin qualifies as something blue. 
-She did not appear to be a tomboy at all throughout the entire story until the later chapter which shocked me. I had imagined her to be rather lady-like and demure.
-Suho's comfort for Baekhyun to chase way his jitters wasn't powerful enough.
-Why did they have to get married at such a young age? They could have waited.
-Lastly, I was hoping you added after marriage to show that their relationship was taken to another level
 
Overall idea was good but more thought into the love story development would have been better.
 
Originality (13/15)
 
It's quite cute and fluffy, rather matured as well so I give credits here.
 
Language (17/20)
 
Nothing major but watch your tenses and occasional phrasing.
 
Flow (6/10)
 
Low score mainly as a result of the undeveloped love story as mentioned above, I could not see the progression of their relationship.
 
Characterization (7/10)
 
As mentioned above, you kept jumping around and having the characters and their relationships change over night. 
 
Overall Enjoyment (7/10)
 
Rather cute and comfortable read, not excellent but not bad at all ;-)

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 ^_^
