set in stone by -sputnik-
title [5/5]
I like the title, it's simple yet somewhat fits the story. The poster is really nice as well (so kudos to whoever made that one). I feel like the title fits though because it makes me wonder 'what will be set in stone?', which makes me interested to read more.
description/foreword [10/10]
I like how simple the description and foreword are. I can see why Donghae is a ticking time bomb just from reading the two chapters posted. Hyukjae does seem to have a bit of a soft spot, not that he seemingly would admit that, towards his new partner. I'm curious about the stalker part, mainly because of the fact that Hyukjae got those letters and such saying that he was being watched. I find it appealing and interesting off the bat, plus this genre is lowkey my thing.
plot [50/50]
First of all, wow, this is really well written. Second of all, wow, the plot is pretty interesting so far. The story is only two chapters in so understanding the plot fully right now isn't as easy but, I have a pretty good idea of what's going on. I have a feeling that the murders are connected to those letters of "I'm watching you, Lee Hyukjae". They might not be, of course, but I had that kind of weird feeling that they were related somehow. Maybe Donghae is the murderer, PFFT. (He probably isn't). Moving on, I do think the plot is good so far and the writing makes it even better. I'm curious to see where Donghae and Hyukjae's relationship goes, they seem to have a good dynamic despite Hyukjae saying he 'worked alone' (though I can kind of see why he does. Squints at Donghae). I like how this isn't just a typical 'romance' story though and honestly, I can see this story going in a good direction. Overall, I really liked the plot and honestly will probably stick around to read it. I believe I've read your stuff in the past and it's always been good stuff so I'm not surprised to see this one on a good route as well.
writing style/flow [20/20]
Well, first off, there's literally no typos, like everything is pretty damn good. As for the writing style, I liked it. It has a professional feel to it and there's a lot of detail. The dialogue fits into the story really well too and it's not JUST dialogue (cause lord HELP me when a story has JUST dialogue and little to no detail). So really, there's nothing wrong with the writing style. It suits this type of story 100%.
As for the flow, there's no complaints there either. I mean, the story isn't rushing into anything and I like the moments between Donghae and Hyukjae. They're cute, but not immediately throwing them into the state of 'I love you' kinda thing. I like how their relationship is developing, especially since they're partners now so they kind of have to get along ('cause lord help me if I had to work with someone I just wanted to punch all day asfgh).
characterization [10/10]
So far, so good, really. The characters, mainly focusing on Donghae and Hyukjae, have good personalities that fit them fairly well. They feel realistic even and that's hard to find in a lot of stories these days. Having characters that are overdramatic or too mary sue'd are unoriginal and slightly boring and sadly there are quite a bit of them these days. So far, both Donghae and Hyukjae (lowkey keep writing Eunhyuk LOL) have interesting characters and I'm sure there is a lot more to learn about them as the story progresses. I won't say too much about them now but I am definitely interested to learn more about Donghae. He seems very mysterious and I have a feeling there's a lot to learn about him.
personal enjoyment [5/5]
It's been a long time since I've really read anything SuJu but EunHae is always a pleasure to read. Plus, the story is good and not some cliched story about romance. I'm curious to see where it goes. So yeah, I definitely enjoyed it and there really wasn't much to criticize here because, , you're a better writer than I am HAHAH. I really enjoyed it though and literally found nothing wrong with the story overall, I think you got something good going.

With school starting back up again soon, I probably won't be doing many reviews, if at all. We'll see about it though. Thank you for everyone who has requested so far and over the years, I've really learned a lot from reviewing stories and shiz. ♥
