Story Title (5/5)

It's appealing, it's eye catching, and the correlation is all too obvious. It creates a sense of curiousity and I would have definitely clicked on your story if I were browsing for stories.

 

 

Graphics (3.5/5)

To me, I'd say the poster is too bright for a story. There should be a vague picture of a track somehwere, to put forward the idea of how Sehun and Luhan got together in the first place. I really like the font of "If you can", and the quote sparked an interest to me; it's a simple and nice poster.

 

 

Description and Foreword (8.5/10)

It's engaging and definitely drew me in. Two things; one, "Sehun couldn't help but stare..." that content belongs in the foreword as it acts as the opening of the story. Two, there shouldn't be a semi colon after Luhan, it should be a comma. If you're not sure whether to put a semi colon or not, just think of the two sentences you are joining up; are they two sentences that can stand alone? If you separate the two sentences in you description and make them stand by itself, will it make sense?

"As if he could feel the heated stare being directed at his , Luhan."

"Track star of SM High turned and smirked, slowly sauntering over to where Sehun was hunched over."

Do you get what I mean now?

 

 

{Story Plot}

Characterisation (18/20)

The overall introduction of the characters were find. However, I find it to be quite peculiar for Luhan to just offer himself over to an average school boy. Does he actually crush on Sehun, is he just finding entertainment, does he just want ual release? Sehun... well I don't know what to say. Is it normal for boys to push themselves into doing things for ? There wasn't really a character I particularly liked, and aside from Luhan's perplexing personality, your characters are fine.

 

 

Originality (10/10)

I definitely have not read anything as close to your storyline. Making a deal with the main character to beat a track star in a running event, it's quite original if you ask me. Especially when neither of them really bottoms during the intimate part.

 

 

Flow (3/5)

I know it's a one shot, but everything was rushed. The "offering" came all too abruptly, and so did the scene. Throughout most of your story, I was thinking "whoa okay, he's going to train already? okay. whoa okay it's happening already okay." I wasn't really into the story because everything was happening too fast for me to process it thoroughly. I guess it takes experience and a bit of talent to smoothly write a one-shot without everything being rushed and leaving the reader behind.

 

 

Conflict twists (7/10)

I don't see a dominant plot twist, as I kinda knew that Sehun would beat Luhan. Not all short stories have a conflict twist, so it's totally fine, though I can't really give you full marks.

 

 

Content Descriptiveness (5/10)

I don't know if you have realised it or not, but I didn't find description of the setting anywhere. You only stated the setting, "Finally the day of the race arrived." , "slamming his locker shut as the two then make their way to the cafeteria." What was the atmosphere of the race like, was the cafeteria noisy, stuffy, hot? You also didn't describe much of Sehun's feelings, "After the first practice, his whole entire body is sore and he can barely walk the next day." How was he feeling sore, what exactly was he going through? It's nice to have some similes, metaphors or personifcations to bring up the description. The only evidence of description you gave in the story was in the intimate scene.

 

 

Grammar (14.5/15)

You grammar is exemplary. The only major problem is that you switched from present, to past tense. It's very hard to stay in present as even when we talk, we speak in past tense (well, usually) so unless you're up for the challenge, I advise you to stick with present. 

 

Digits should not be used unless stating the time, date, or some sort of code.

Quote: All they really did was 200 meter intervals.

Correction: All they really did was two hundred meter intervals.

 

Quote: "The second practice will be better!" the coaches encouraged

Correction: "The second practice will be better!" the coaches encourage

 

Typographical mistakes:

Dissapointing - Disappointing

Frusteration - Frustration

Guttoral - Guttural

 

I am very impressed with your grammar. There are a few punctual mistakes that could be easily fixed with a quick read over, and because of the past/present tense problem, you should edit it again, but it's a one shot - it's been completed ages ago - so unless you want it featured or something, I wouldn't touch it (because I'm a lazy person).

 

 

 

Taste of the Story (4/10)

To be honest, I've read quite a few (not alot, maybe around ten?) and most of them were just... boring to the point where I was disgusted. Some were like "okay they kissed, then they gave each other s, then they had , then they cummed in pleasure, the end." Yours wasn't like that, but it wasn't that good either. Most of the I've read were, not that great, and so I've become a little numb to it all. So I wasn't feeling anything, but I do think that you might have made your readers gone crazy, and I do think it's impressive for a first time attempt. As I said before, your flow wasn't all that great and I found everything too rushed, so I didn't particularly take a liking in your story. I did like how you ended it together, I liked the teasing atmosphere you gave.

 

 

 

 

Score: 78.5/100

I love reading your reviews in this archive because not only your reviews were interesting, it also helped me with my own mistakes! Thank goodness you made this archive ♡

Thank you for your content description. I never realized that car scene before lol. But thank you for that. You’re right about the thoughts and feelings by other characters should not be actually realized by the person’s POV. Guess I’m too immersed in the writing that I got carried away lol.
Im glad the flow is alright. Considering that it’s my first story (my practice 101), I wasn’t sure if my pacing was alright. I wasn’t exactly confident with the flashbacks being inserted like that but I’m happy you liked it (;
Grammar is not really my best asset, especially prepositions/conjunctions. I absolutely need to learn more. Thank you for your kind words despite.
Thank you very much for reviewing my story despite the rated scenes. I can never thank you enough for this very insightful review. Im glad you enjoyed the story despite everything. And once again, Im so sorry for the late pick up! I’ll credit now. Thank you once again and sorry for the loooonnnnnng comments :D

- gray eyes come from a thin layer of melanin on the front layer of the iris. The blue reflection of light is clouded over by the dark layer in front causing a dark gray color. (haha copied it from a med book lol)
-you’re right about her car injuries, I’ve only described her immense aches and pain after and the switching of faces, I’ve realized I focused too much on the switching that her injuries weren’t emphasized, thank you for emphasizing that

Your questions are gold! Thank you! I’ll keep them in mind while writing. Well to answer some of them:
-Changing face is actually possible, but would require lots of sessions. It’s from a theory and no, it isn’t practiced. *hint* from the latest story update, they changed faces, but would the outcome be the same? Would it be successful this time?*hint*hint
-what caused the amnesia---will be revealed later on haha
-whether joongki can take med degrees when he’s still young...ill try to check if I missed out a detail here  haha, I thought i made that info clear before, but apparently it’s doubtful
-whether joongki is thinking about her in the café, then she appeared…well, she’s been on his mind consistently ever since she disappeared and that day wasn’t an exemption.
-about shi hoo looking at her the same way? Let’s see what will happen 

For the layout, being consistent is so hard T__T but thank you for pointing the specific flaws. I’ll get to that and correct them. Thank you!

To be honest, I’ve never watched Good Doctor although I loved both Moon Chae Won and Joo Won. All I know is that the drama is all about doctors. Anyway, I’ve thought of a plot involving switching faces and how from that, a story will be created. I’ve added arrange marriage because to be honest, I have a feels for them (that is, before AFF was supersaturated with arrange-marriage fics). From there, Ive thought of making a second male lead as a friend helping the heroine with her struggle, but I’ve thought it too dull. I never really planned on making the doctor her love interest, but after some thoughts, why not? It would be a challenge to write. This is actually my first story and I never really thought about the number of chapters. I never really planned ahead during that time. I was full of daydreams and what ifs, that I became too excited to make it a reality, a story. Looking back, I realized how “short” my chapters are since 3-5 chapters actually happened in just a day. From there, I tried to learn how to balance scenes with my other stories. I knew how tiring it must be to read a long story T__T but since I started Imposter this way, I have to continue with what I have and improve the balancing of scenes till the end. I’ve thought of revamping after completing, and hopefully can publish it in the future 

oh my goodness. I didnt realize my review is up, but i saw it when I played a little with google search. Im so sorry for the late pick up!
Anyway for the title, I agree that some may not find it attractive enough, but for now, you're right that I should stick with it since the end is near. I will definitely think of a more mysterious title once I’ve completed and revamped the story. For the graphics, I’m glad someone pointed out the different symbolism it held. The graphic artist definitely understood what the story is all about. I couldn’t ask for more, and we’re the same! Aside from the beauty, I appreciate an artwork more if the artist can imbed hints and important symbolisms. I understand what you’re trying to point out with the trailers. Actually, I requested trailers when the story is only starting. I only gave brief description to the video artists, without giving them the little big reveals. The trailers are actually their interpretation with what little summary I gave them.

Chapter 77: Thank you for the review and sorry for the late thank you :) It's a relieve that I can make characters and the plot well, but of course it's a disappointment that reviewer-nim didn't enjoy reading my story 'that much'. Based on your building critiques, I guess I have to learn more and develop a more well established story that can leave a very good taste of the story. It makes me reflect a lot on my own story and reminds me that I still have a lot to improve.
I hope everything will go well for this review shop. Have a nice day! :)
