Review: Three Wishes For A Soul 

Title (4/5)

The title was reasonable, simple, uncomplicated. It fits the story (obviously) and it was really leaning towards the genre angst (in some ways), but it could also be incorporated in pure romance (no angst). Not my favorite title, but it’s good enough.

Foreward/Description (9/10)

You explained the main topic of the story in your foreword so it didn’t surprise me that Kyungsoo would die in the end and he would use his ‘three lives’. If possible, leave some space for the reader to think and not to already assume the possible ending of the fic.

Appearance (4/5)

Kyungsoo’s face in the poster actually turned me off. Instead of being like the Kyungsoo in your story, he looked kind of proud and a bit sarcastic for me. The poster was really for angst, but it was a bit creepy on the edges..so..

Plot (14/15)

Well, the plot was interesting. It was about the chances a human being had in this world. So far, I haven’t read other fics about the ‘chances’ topic, but I’ve seen some books with a related one. All in all, it was good, but the ending could be predicted easily (in my case, but I have no idea if other people thought so). Maybe you could’ve added more to it, not just about the topic itself. A bit of twist and some spice in some parts.

Originality (13/15)

Not very original since the concept wasn’t exactly ‘fresh’ as I hoped. As I read your story, I immediately thought about the nine lives thing with cats lol. Even though this wasn’t the most original topic I had read, it’s still worth reading.

Grammer & Spelling (19/20)

Nothing serious except for a tiny mistake here and there. For example, the word doesn’t. Since you used the past tense throughout the story, keep it consistent. Even I made mistakes more than once because authors tend to overlook small mistakes especially for a long one shot like this. Instead of using ‘doesn’t’, use ‘didn’t’ instead. Why? It’s because did was the past tense of does and do (do is for plural and does is for singular). Keep that in mind.

Flow (9/10)
 

I would give you credit for the steady flow of the story. It’s not too fast or too slow. Although, I wished you mentioned what would happen to Luhan and Sehun in the end. Would they spread the word? (it’s not exactly reassuring) Or would they feel anxious about their own ‘wishes’?

Characterization (9/10)

JongIn and Kyungsoo’s characters were well developed, but Sehun left me full of questions. The readers weren’t enlightened about what he really was for the two main characters. Luhan’s was mentioned, but not Sehun’s (correct me if I missed it).

Overall Enjoyment (9/10)

When I read angst, I want something that can make me cry, seriously. That’s the only thing I’m looking for in your fic. Btw, Kaisoo is my otp lol. I hope you add more to your fic to make all your readers feel the emotions behind it. Good luck!
