Title

I don’t have any comments on the title since it fits the plot very well! I love one-word titles that summarize the whole story.

Appearance (Graphic/Poster)

I like the poster even though the characters’ faces are not very clear.

Foreword/Description

Description: The description is good enough to gain a reader’s interest to the story. Well done! There are a few errors which can be fixed easily. I eventually decided to rearrange it for you; it’s just a suggestion so it’s up to you if you want to use it or not! I do recommend you to correct the errors though.

Six friends whose fate leads them to taking a boat trip together to celebrate the graduation of two friends. After a stormy night, Johnny, Ten and Jaehyun find themselves stranded on an island. There are no signs of their three other friends who were with them on the boat. Now, they have to figure out how to get back home, however, before doing so, they must survive the island first while trying to maintain the friendship they have worked so hard for to build.

Foreword: No comments!

On a different note, I saw you didn’t tag the genres. I think you should definitely mention the genres so your story can get more recognition!

Characterization

Before I started with reading, I had no idea what to expect nor did I have an image of the characters. The last part is because I know nothing about the boy group NCT. So this is the first story I have ever read about them. Seriously, all I can say is that I really liked how you described their personalities and how you showed their past. The romance development between each couple left me stunned as well as their friendship. I’m not really a fan of boyxboy stories, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t enjoy the story. In fact, I ended up enjoying it way more than I had expected.

Grammar & Spelling

While reading, I tried to take note of some errors here and there. I wasn’t really sure if I should mention them since it didn’t prevent me from reading onwards, but I thought it might be helpful to you. You are free to go through the chapters and correct them or just leave it as it is! I summed them up per chapter.
