Broken Memory Bank | pinkblink

Title (4/5)

The title definitely relates to the story, especially to the main character, Oh Sehun. It suggests that one of the characters had their memories "broken," which contributes to most of the plot's conflict.

 

Appearance (5/5)

It's a simple poster with the main characters. The clock probably represents the time (or memories used by time) that was lost because of Sehun's amnesia. I don't have much to say about this part.

 

Description/Foreword (10/15)

I like your description, but I think you gave excess information. The first three paragraphs of your description was pleasant to read. It gave me a short synopsis of the story, while leaving me with questions of how Sehun was going to survive in his new life. Personally, I would take out the bolded sentence. The third paragraph already addressed the bolded information. Although the bolded sentence summarizes the story, it's best for the readers to discover the plot rather than the writer to tell them flat out.

As for the foreword, I would take out the character line. I see how the characters look, but as I've said before, it's better to write a description of them rather than to just give the readers a visual. The way you might be able to describe these characters may bring out more traits that the readers can discover. In addition, you've already listened the characters under the "Characters" section, so I don't see a reason to list them again in the foreword. I like how you put the little quotes, though. The dialogue related to the description, and I thought it was a pretty good hook.

 

Plot (18/25)

Broken Memory Bank highlights the struggle of a thirty year-old man who has retrograde amnesia. Oh Sehun, the man who has lost ten years of his memories, must face his past, trying to recollect his memories and figure out his relationship with his friends, family, and his wife.

Honestly, there isn't much going on so far. The five chapters focused on mostly Sehun's inability to remember and his troubles of accepting his wife and his position in life. From Sehun's family, we see that his sister, Krystal Jung, plans to use his helpless situation to improve her own life even though she still despises him (for whatever reason that is). 

In the prologue, it hints that Sehun and Su Ah aren't exactly in the best arranged marriage, and that the two are struggling to accept each other as husband and wife. Therefore, not only is the story's plot about a man with amnesia, but it's additionally about two couples who don't love each other as they should.

 

Characters (13/15)

I saw a lot more progress in the characters than the plot.

Oh Sehun reveals himself to be a man in his thirti

Chapter 18: Thanks for the lovely review I will credit when I get on the computer! The thing about Mira agreeing to live with Luhan has to do with the fact that she's not yet 27 and also the fact that it will be revealed that she doesn't really have anywhere else to go. And I do agree that Luhan is a weak character at this point, but I did want it to seem like he isn't doing anything good for Mira because I wanted him to be portrayed as not knowing what to do to help her and being unable to do so. I was trying to show exactly that he thinks he understands her because they've been through so much together but he really knows nothing. Again, thanks so much for the review!

Chapter 14: Thanks for the review :) I credited you already. Yeah, I agree with the characterisation part of the more insignificant members since it's really hard to write about 12 members, unless i kill some off which may not be that good an idea, but nevertheless, thanks :)
