Title (1/5)
It took me a while to figure out what "ALYNM" meant and why that word was capitalized. I later figured that it it was an acronym for "Act Like You Need Me" like what the description had. So far, I don't see how the title relates to the story. Is the title directed to the boys or the girls in the story?
In addition, it should be ALYNM, , not ALYNM, .
Appearance (3/5)
The poster is fine, but it took me a while to recognize who the boy was. In addition, I thought that Kai should be in the poster since he's also targeted by Suzy. It took me a while to recognize that the boy in the poster was Minseok, and since he's on the poster (and part of Suzy's plan), I was thinking that Kai should join in the poster, too.
Description/Foreword (5/15)
The description didn't tell me anything about the story. I could've interpreted what the story was about from the quote, but the description's purpose is to describe the story–to give a synopsis of the story. The description only had a quote, and although I could infer what the story was about, it wasn't a clear description.
For the foreword, there were two trailers, but both trailers had similar contents. In my opinion, I thought that the foreword could've been fine with just one trailer since both focus on what the description says. Although it gives a visual for the story, it's the exact same thing as what the description has; thus it isn't as effective since it's almost like copy-pasting the foreword twice.
Plot (13/25)
ALYNM, is a sequel to Bad Little Girls, which I have not read. Therefore, the plot is a bit unclear. So far, it focuses on Suzy, who wants to get revenge against innocent Seo Joohyun (who turns to be a stalker in love with Kai), Kang Jiyoung (who has a crush on the nerdy Minseok), and Mistress. For the last three chapters, she's been planning on how to get her revenge and who to use to make the three other girls feel upset or angry.
I've read a couple of revenge fanfics out there, and this fanfic is very similar to the ones I've read. There's a girl burning with hatred, and she wants to get revenge by using guys, who will probably fall for her (if not, go along) as planned. Though right now, she's trapped in some kind of building, which might symbolize her innocent. Then, when she managed to break out of the enclosed building, it could symbolize her freedom, or the release of dark side, similar to the Pandora's box (where the bad escapes and hope is locked in).
Characters (10/15)
I'll only focus on Suzy, since she's been making the major appearances. I don't have much to say about Jiyoung, Seohyun, Minseok, Kai or the Mistress a
