Title (2.5/5)
The title seems bland and is rather uninviting. It doesn't have something that catches readers' interest. Try to come up with another title that sounds more enthralling than this one. And there's something you should take note of. The words used in title must have capital letters on each letter of the words. And NO full stop at the end.
 
Graphics (4/5)
The colors mix really well with each other, they express the angst feeling on the poster. It literally gets act together with the storyline. 
 
Description and Foreword: (9/10)
The description is really well-written. It gives a little synopsis of what the story is about like a novel and gives the come-on of readers' eagerness in reading your story with the questions you made there. 
 
Story Layout: (5/5)
Many would enjoy reading your story. It's organized really well. Sometimes you would unread what you're currently reading if you find the way an author writes the chapters is quite recklessly, even if the plot catches your eyes. But you're not that author.
 
Plot: (26/30)
There are actually several stories that have the same plot as this, but from all of I've read, yours has the most unexpected plot twists. Though the twists are pretty clichéd, I didn't expect them to come right after something good came to both Sehun and Haerin. It was really unexpected. 

The angst was so deep that I shed some tears at some scenes. It wasn't original but nevertheless, it still broke my heart. Oh, and I love how you wrote the ! It was really detailed, naughty and hawt! Sometimes I had to skip some parts because the couple was too hardcore. Bless my mind. Lol.
 

Characterization: (8/10)
The way you characterized the characters are done pretty well. There was more showing than telling, which is good because it helps readers grasping and realizing how the characters really are. Because you only focused more on Haerin, sometimes I didn't understand what Sehun was trying to do. Since the both of them are the main characters here, so I think you should have written Sehun's point of view. 

Content Description (9/10)
The choices of words that you chose to help us interpreting the scenes and settings are easily understood and enjoyable to read. There are a few stories in aff which have crazy vocabs and many (who don't really master in English) confused and have to look up in dictionaries which is pretty time-consuming. 
 
Flow: (2/5)
I'll give you 2 out of 5 because everything, literally everything, happened too fast. The of the story already started in chapter 5 and then they made up, fought again and made up, fought again and made up. I hate to admit this but I don't agree with them getting married though. They were so young but that's not the only point. They had just been together like for months and right after their argument was solved out, Sehun proposed to her. It could be better if you wrote some filler chapters like going on a date, or other romantic scenes that pop in your mind instead of putting some drama on every chapter. 
 
Grammar: (10/10)
No major grammar errors at all, every sentence is very well written. 
 
Taste of the Story: (7/10)
y Secrets is a great story with the most unexpected plot twists ever even though I sometimes found it boring because of the twists. Nevertheless, it's still a great story to release all your ual frustration. You're so good in writing ! 

Overall, I enjoy reading this. I just hope it didn't flow very fast. Anyways, keep on writing and fighting! :D

 


TOTAL: (82.5/100)

Chapter 75: 5/5
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

Chapter 75: 4/5
- 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

Chapter 75: 3/5
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 

Chapter 75: 2/5
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 

Chapter 75: 1/5
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! :)
