Story

Title (3/5)

It's a cute title and I guess it fits the story judging by the poster as well. 
 
Foreward/Description (7/10)
 
Simple and to the point but I feel that it does not captivate your readers enough.
 
Appearance (5/5)
 
It is a very cute poster that sets the mood right. The animation gets a plus point.
 
Plot (10/15)
 
Overall, this story has a potentially good storyline but was very abruptly written. The story is moving at too fast a pace and the format in which it has been written is confusing. Some content remarks:
 
-In chapter 2, you classified Jinn as "someone Kai liked" but there was no mention of it in the previous chapters.
-Chapter 3 was kind of abrupt. I thought it was Kai's birthday and when Baekyun met Jinn all was forgotten?
 
Basically, you made everything happen too fast Jin's hidden identity was discovered way to early into the story, giving no room for development of her dual personality. Kai's infatuation with her was not built up; it could potentially have been a sweet relationship, falling in love with both sides of Jin. Also, there were too many characters being introduced at one shot it was hard to keep up.
 
Originality (11/15)
 
Settings like this are far too common in the EXO fanfic world but credits to the dual persona.
 
Language (10/20)
 
The writing was messy and disruptive to the general flow. Few pointers:
 
1) Don't use words in another language without explaining them. Especially when they add no value; just don't use them.
Annyeong~ Kim Minseok imida
baozi-like charm 
 
2) Phrasing
I have to admit, I was always like this since I could remember.
I have to admit; I've been like this for as long as I could remember.
 
3) Error in usage of words itself; meaning of story affected
There were still two people not absent.
There were still two absentees/There were still two people not present.
 
4) Tense
What a sight. I think I laughed so hard that my stomach aches so much.
What a sight; I laughed so hard my stomach ached so badly.
 
Flow (4/10)
 
I will penalize you here for the non-smooth read. 
 
Like I mentioned above, the story is moving way too fast. 
 
Don't change so many POV's within a chapter, it gets confusing. Also you might want to do POVs only in your main characters.
 
 
Since you are writing in X's POV, there is no need to colour and italicize their thoughts; you have already stated you are narrating in their perspective? Ie their senses and thoughts?

Instead of changing font properties just add an -  "I think you're pretty," Kai said. 
 
Lastly, take note of your paragrahing as well.
 
 
Characterization (4/10)
 
Too little of it, especially of your main character; why does she have a dual personality? Is Jinn a cover she uses as a form of comfort from the treatment she receives in school? How does the nerd in school feel being ignored; the pain and loneliness? How does the introduction of Baekyun in her life transform her? Is she coming out of her shell? ....So much room for development.
 
You kept switching between "Jin" and "Jinn" which is kind of confusing. Also Baekhyun and Baekyeon is too similar it confuses me to who's POV it is.
 
Kai...he is apparently infatuated with the blogger but unlike the siblings who could tell who she was immediately, he couldn't?
 
Overall Enjoyment (4/10)
 
It was cute definitely but lots of room for improvement. Hwaiting!

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 ^_^
