However, when his friend, Jieun, goes missing without a trace, it is up to Seokjin to find the truth about this mystery.
There is a hidden place of sinister intentions and idiosyncrasy, as Seokjin learns. Will he and Jieun ever survive?

Title (5/5)
Tell you something, I am a BIG fan of Johnny Depp and he is the Mad Hatter in AITW! So, I'm extremely excited when I saw the title. I didn't understand what does lair means, but after I searched for it, I finally understand :D The combination of the title is extremely cool, for me. It signals about the how dangerous yet thrilling the story is and I think it's a good choice :)
Graphics (4/5)
Was that J-Hope? I was a bit confused because there's J Hope there. But i like the other poster with the clown at the center of the poster. However, the first poster was confusing, but the colors do match well. The green, red, black, smoke, every colors. It suits the story well.
Description and Foreword: (4/10)
The description is excellent. There's romance, the angst, the thrills, everything's there. But the foreword, some people may pass the foreword section because it's too long, honestly. I think you should shorten the length. I can see how you work hard for the foreword and I don't want your hard work to go waste by people not even looking at it because it's too long. Maybe make it more simply yet still has some sorts of interesting lines? :)
Story Layout: (4/5)
I thought it would be better if you change the font of the description. Choose some more mysterious fonts, e.g the one you're using for the other chapters. Or maybe, italicize some sentences? Maybe the last sentence for the description. It would be cool and it will be a wonder to your readers. Other than that, it's fine.
Plot: (29/30)
The plot is so magnificent. Am I exaggerating? But I'm being honest. Though there's some part where I've heard from some other stories, e.g there's a weird person who kidnaps kids and such but other than that, seriously, it's very awesome. The plot is brilliant. I've never read anything like this and you impressed me so much in my first time reading something like your story.
Characterization: (10/10)
I can perfectly relate to every characters. I'm always a fan of both Jin and Jieun so I enjoy their characters here too.
Content Description (9/10)
This story takes place in the 40-s, I was having trouble reading it sometimes, but after some while, I was able to adapt to it. Just, there're some confusing parts especially at the start of a new situation. But sometimes, it may just be my mistake. But anyway, good job *applause *
Flow: (4/5)
Honestly, I was thinking of giving up on reading the story in the first chapters because the pace was a bit slower than I thought. But suddenly, there's some exciting moments here and there so I decide to go on and the flow was back to steady in the next chapters. Great, great.
Grammar: (8/10)
Your vocabulary is wide. Your writing style makes people notice that this author is a professional type. You use some extremely 'higher' words. I don't understand some of them because there're so many words I've never met before. I'll improve myself for that. However, I'm afraid if some readers who can't understand (like me), they'll give up on reading. Spelling mistakes, there's not much. Even if there is some, I was ignoring most of them since I'm too immersed in reading and understanding the words. Just, I don't know why but I was kinda bothered by the counting Jin did. There's 'eighty nine' but there's not ninety before ninety one. Just that.
Taste of the Story: (8/10)
I don't read things like this but I do review them. But because of The Mad Hatter's Lair, I think I'll start reading some more mystery genre fics. I do enjoy all the thrilling ride. I love the quote that you put before the chapters. I love Game of Throne's the most. I think these things are cool. Great job! Again, I enjoy this story very much.
