"Borderline"

Author: Chinatsu_

Main Characters: Kris and Tao

Genre: Angst, Drama, Romance, 

Status: On-going

Description of Story: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health disorder that generates significant emotional instability. This can lead to a variety of other stressful mental and behavioral problems. With borderline personality disorder, you may have a severely distorted self-image and feel worthless and fundamentally flawed. Anger, impulsiveness and frequent mood swings may push others away, even though you may desire to have loving and lasting relationships.

 

 

  Critique:


Story Title: 4.5/5

High marks for how relevant the title is to the story, considering that Zi Tao has BPD. It gives a feeling about how unstable his emotions are, like at the edge of a cliff, ready to drop/change anytime. However, half a mark deducted because of how…cliché the title is. There’s quite a lot of stories which have the same kind of feel and style for the title, so yeah. Half a mark :(

 

Appearance: 9/10

a. Poster and Background. 4/5

The poster and the background are of the same design and style so it’s quite neat. The monochrome colour scheme was dark and sad, bringing a nice feel to the story even before the reader reads the story. However, Yifan’s depiction wasn’t really…accurate?

b. Lay-out and Formatting. 5/5

No comments on the lay-out and formatting, everything was fine ^^

 

Description and Foreword: 10/10

Same as before, no complaints, everything was neatly written. Intriguing description to the concept of the story and makes the reader wants to read on. Foreword contains the correct content, so yeap, full marks :)

 

Character Development: 9.5/10

a. Unity of the Characters and Their Actions. 4.5/5

I liked the interaction between Junmyeon and Zi Tao, how I could sense that Junmyeon really wanted to help Zi Tao with his condition; his exasperation, frustration and how volatile Zi Tao is when someone tries to reach out. The emotions’ change was nicely written such that it came out as abrupt, as is in the condition description. Meanwhile, the conversation betwe
