Title (4/5):

Personally speaking, I love the title. It gave me the ummph feeling when I first saw it. It oozed with something new or creative.

Appearance (2/5):

You seriously need to edit the appearance of your chapters. It was messy and very crooked. It was disturbing to read when I first came across the first chapter, I wanted to skip to another story.

Foreword/Description (5/10):

I love the description. It was short and mysterious. And I could easily tell that this wasn't a walk in a park type of story. Also, your foreword needs a bit of improvement since it was messy just a bit.

Plot/Storyline (18/20):

Please forgive me siWnce I didn't finish reading the whole story. I finished it until chapter eight but all is well. I love the story. Period. Do I need to elaborate on that one? Yes? No? Fine.

Every chapter was a page turner for me since I love this kind of genre though it didn't answer some of my questions.

How did the gods obtain their power? Why is Xiumin older than Chen by eons? Where do they live? How come they pop up out of nowhere?

Character Development (28/30):

Imperfect qualities of a human was described here. The corruption and destruction of human beings was clearly described by Chen though he also learned that some people are willing to help. I love how every little thing looked like a fixed puzzle piece. Solid characters and great development.

Use of Language / Mechanics (17/20):

Luck was kind but not patience. (chapter 4)

Luck was kind but not patient. (Patience is a noun and kind is an adjective. So there is faulty parrallelism right there.)

Chen’s quiet was interrupted. (chapter 5)

Chen's quiet what? Atmosphere? Personality?

Chen entered the thin, standing room only shower. (chapter 6)

This, can you please elaborate? I kennut understand. Haha.

Overall, I love the language of your story. So deep and well written. I cannot say anything anymore. Speechless.

Flow (9/10):

The pace was really good. Though you may add some reasons as to why they were mixed with the human world then the flow would be just fine.

Reader’s View / Enjoyment:

I love the story. I like how dark it was and how the development of each characters balances out through out the story. I can't even find words to explain it. Though some of the words that you used were way too deep (I mean, not used daily) so it may cause a mental destruction for the new readers.

Final Score: (83/100)


Additional Comments:

I have stated everything from here and up so I have the right to stay silent. Lol. I apologize for not finishing your story. I have a busy schedule and I really am regretting this world I have entered. I also apologize for the lack of suggestions here. Lol. Thank you so much for letting me review your story and I hope that you'll upvote the shop and continue to write with love!

Chapter 39: Chapter 38: I am surprised you got to my review as quickly as you did. Thank you for the review, I will fix those grammar mistakes. I'll keep in mind to be more detailed as I write (that as has always been a problem of mine). I don't understand how my foreword was messy though. I'll credit later today.

Chapter 36: Hi thank you for this wonderful review. I agree with everything that was mentioned and I'll try my best to incorporate the suggestion. Yes, Haha, I think this was posted late because there were some things in the review that were not included in the story anymore :D Anyway, thank you very much for the review. 81 is still a decent score since I barely started the story. Credited ^_^

Chapter 37: read the review.
wow, even though I'm lacking 72 is pretty much a decent marks right? right? lol
I guess I should not abandon and pay more attention to the little things such as the comma, I didn't know it'd make so much differences.
Thanks for the effort - really appreciate it. really.

Chapter 34: Thank you for the review (and the feature - wow, I'm honored)! I read it well ^^
I actually like your way of thinking that Jongdae was inhaling the flames over and over again as atonement for his sins. The thought hadn't crossed my mind, haha XD
Ah, yes...Yixing XD To be quite honest, I just needed a ghost of his past, and since Yixing's my other bias.....X) Yeah, there was really no deep reason behind it being Yixing. Just personal preference, ahaha XD
But I'm glad that you enjoyed reading it while reviewing it ^^ I'm glad that I was able to convey the process of insanity in Jongdae to you, the reader. :)

Chapter 33: Thank you for the review! I really appreciate the feedback. I'm seriously a dunce when it comes to titles as in I have no idea if the title is good or bad no matter how many times I think it over. In this case, I couldn't come up with anything that wouldn't give the assignment away, because, yeah, I'm not creative. Plus I'm not concise with words. A bad combination.

I'll definitely be on the lookout for those boring/lagging scene when I'm editing. The make-out scene was never planned so the suddeness makes sense. I'll either move it on the timeline or possibly cut it out. Making the character emotions is something I'll have to work a lot harder on, but I'm really glad the characters came off as realistic.

Once again, thank you for completing this review as it helps me a lot!
