Beautiful Disaster

Title (3/5)

The title is a really generic title. I, also, do not see how it relates to your story—I can’t see the beautiful disaster in your story. I think something more about saving someone would be a better fit because, to me, the story seems to be about Minho and Taemin saving each other from lives that they both despise (if that’s a way to explain it).

Poster & Background & Trailer (1/10)

The poster—I’m not so impressed with it, though it does look nice, I think it could be better. My suggestion would be a dark, angst-y poster with the characters (Minho and Taemin) blended into together. The background was a picture… a plain background would have been better choice.

No trailer, so no points are taken off.

Description & Foreword (8/10)

The description—I’m going to admit that when I saw it, I wasn’t too happy with it because I thought you were going to give us some random information about Taemin but I was wrong. I actually like it. I mean, it’s not exactly character information because you wrote some resourceful background about Taemin. So I liked it. Same goes for Minho’s information—really resourceful background information!

The only thing that made me cringe was seeing the purple text (to which I’m guessing is the author’s note). It was the dropping point—I can’t stand to see an author’s note in the description, especially after a great description of the two characters. Your author’s note should go at the bottom of the foreword; it’s the last thing I want to see, not the second.

I have no problem with the forward—I really liked it.

Plot (10/10)

The plot is quite different and really interesting, but I’m not quite sure where you’re heading with it.

Originality (10/10)

Full points! I have no other words but to say this is really something different and I really like it.

Flow (5/5)

The flow is neither too fast nor too slow.

Grammar/Punctuation/Spelling/Vocabulary (30/30)

There were no mistakes or errors at all.

Writing Style (10/10)

The writing style is really nice—I actually really really love the style of writing you have. It was descriptive and it felt relaxed—like you didn’t have a hard time trying to write because it just came to you like magic, or something.

Overall Enjoyment (5/10)

I’m only half and half on this story—and it’s not because I’m familiar with 2Min rather, it’s because at the end of every chapter, you have this massive author’s note with some pic spam. Let me just say that I do not mind an author’s note at the end of a chapter but I think you overdid it. You have the longest author’s note I’ve ever seen. The picture spam was just too much; I don’t understand what the deal with that is about. I mean, a simple ‘Thanks for reading’ isn’t hard to write on an author’s note. It was not necessary to write random things and then pic spam. This made me lose just a tiny bit of interest in your story. Please lessen the amount of things you write on your author’s note and just stop with the picture spam. It’s not very appealing and readers are here to read not look at a bunch of pictures.

Other than that, I half enjoyed it.

Total – 82/100
