STARSTRUCK: DAECHUN HIGH

 + REVIEW                                                                                                                                                               

 TITLE 3/5: The title is a bit long, but what looses points is it's connection to the plot. I'm not sure of Daechun is the name of the school (which is most likely) but as a reader, I'm no sure where the "Starstruck" aspect of the title comes in. This story still has awhile to go, and it's just beginning to unfold the plot, so hopefully we will find out soon.

FOREWORD + DESCRIPTION 10/10: I like how you start off by placing the theme of the story in bold. followed by the four main characters shortly after, telling what is to come. Although there is quite a bit of information in the description, along with the character bios, you make sure not to give too much away, allowing just enough to make the reader interested. The plot line of the story is used quite a bit, but you make an introduction that attracts readers without making it seem typical. Well done.

STYLE + DESIGN 5/5The type and size of the font is perfect, and doesn't hurt the reader's eyes. I really like your poster as well, I like how there are mini bios underneath the characters' photo, very unique.

PLOT 20/30So, Jaewoong has been best friends with Chanyeol for a long time, and has suddenly developed a crush on him, only to find out that he has become a boyfriend to another girl. Jaewoong tries not to show it, wanting to be happy for her best friend and put her feelings aside. Enter Kai, who believes that he's the hottest guy ever, and wants a girlfriend to finally beat Kris at something. That's when he bumps into Jaewoong, literally.
This story is still very short, only leading up to a point where Kai pays for Jaewoong's phone, so this story still has a long way to go to develop in plot. We haven't really met Kris yet, we have an idea of what's going to happen (based on the description) and we also have yet to see what Chanyeol thinks of Jaewoong. Despite those facts, the story is really interesting and funny so don't worry too much about this part.

CHARACTERIZATION 15/15: As I said before, we haven't really met Kris yet, but I really love the characters so far. Kai really fits that jock-badboy-hottest guy in school type of vibe, while Jaewoong fits the role of the girl who hates his guys. I really like how they interact, along with Sehun's advice giving and Lay's helpful-yet-naggy lectures he gives Kai. The characters seem real, in their dialogue and emotions, and I really want to know what happens to them in the story. Awesome job!

GRAMMAR + SPELLING 20/20: Your grammar and spelling are perfect. I found little to no mistakes in your work, the writing fluid and effortless. Full points here!

FLOW 7/10: This story isn't completed, nor far enough to judge critically, but so far this story is progressing at a good pace.

♥ OVERALL ENJOYMENT 4/5: You didn't have any grammar errors, so this story was very fun and enjoyable to read. I'm sad that it isn't done yet, because it has a lot of potential for a really great story, but I know what it's like to take some time away from a story. This is awesome, so don't forget about it!

♥ OVERALL SCORE 84/100 

 

a/n: Not a bad score! This story is only on it's fourth chapter, but you've already created an awesome cast, a fluid writing style, and a plot full of potential. With the way it's going, this story could be very possible in due time!
Thank you for requesting at our shop! I'm sorry about the reviewer switch, I hope you don't mind that I took over from your original reviewer. I really enjoyed this story, I really want to see what happens next! Make sure to work hard, and hopefully we'll see you here soon, bye! :)

Chapter 28: I enjoy reading your reviews but feel there are some things I should point out ( just some stuff I noticed for this review. I'm sorry if these have already been mentioned.)
The 'u' in words like 'flavor' (-> flavour), behavior (-> behaviour), savior (-> saviour) isn't wrong, it's just the British way of spelling those words.
To say ' If I/you/he/she/it were ' instead of using 'was' isn't wrong and actually considered more correct in Writing.
Thanks for your hard work and good luck !!
