Factoy XXIV by illcell

Story Title - 4 of 5

Not the most eye-catching title, but does fit the story.

Summary/Description - 3 of 5

You description certainly makes a great hook to tempt readers to click onto the next chapter.  However, you seemed to mix up the purpose of the description and foreword a bit.  The large amout of text after [Ratings:  (due to small amount of graphic scenes, ratings may vary from chapters) ] should be part of the foreword.  Meanwhile, what you currently have in the foreword [During an apocalypse, you and your best friend tried to escape the invaded city by driving towards the country side. Then a car accident occured, which fate dragged you both inside a rumoured haunted mansion. Though none of you were aware of this rumour, so its secrets are for you to unravel.] should be your main description of the story and should be placed before the italicized quote.  Finally, there are some minor grammatical errors that might caused potential readers to turn their heads from the story. Even English is your third language, the reality that people judge the book by its cover is still prevalent.  The changes are in bold:

[Pitful creatures are being tormented and experimented on....blah blah blah.]

[Then a car accident occured as fate dictated to drag you both....blah blah blah....Unfortunately, none of you were aware of this rumour, and so its secrets were for you to unravel.]

Story Layout - 4.5 of 5

The font size is a bit smaller than I would like.  However, it is still readable.

Grammar/Spelling - 18 of 20

In general, the grammar/spelling is not bad, just a few minor errors here and there (actually the errors in your description/foreword is more glaring):

[When you came to again, you heard someone talking in a desperate tone.] (Chapter One) - There's a word missing here (typo I assume).

Your writing is very descriptive, making it easy for the reader to engage with the story (especially since this is a "You" point of view story, it is important for the writing to be descriptive).  

I notice you tend to use the word young adult throughout your story, even when describing the owner, N.  Did you actually mean he is or looks like a young adult (aka teenager) or simply a young man.  Generally, young adult means teenager.

["Yes. Me and my household are well aware of their existence."] (Chapter Two) - Consider changing it to the following so that N would sound more intelligent (as it stands right now, his intelligence could suddenly be doubted by some readers) ["Yes. My household and I are well aware of their existence."]

["Do not ask any further, it is a truth and....blah blah blah"] (Chapter Two) sounds a bit awkward - ["Do not ask any further, it is the truth and...blah blah blah"]

[Although you didn’t want to become too close with anyone in this strange house, you couldn’t help but to feel a little sorry for the younger.] (Chapter Three) - missed a word at the end?

Overall, just a quick edit by you or your beta reader could make the grammar/spelling of this story perfect.

Story Plot/Flow/Description - 19 of 30

Plot-wise, it seems the typical Mary Sue harem.  Seven chapters, and I feel as though I'm still at the introduction stage.  In other words, the plot is not moving forward at all even after seven chapters (okay, maybe the story did move a little since the middle of chapter seven).

Chapter 54: Thank you, tyrhfjd, for the review! Picked up and credited! It's been a half century but it's here now so I'm not going to complain lol.
I'm glad you liked the story and I do agree with your points about the title and the confusion about 'Kris Leone' who in fact is not an OC but a real person in K-rock lol. I wanted to troll the hell out of readers by using 'Kris' xD
Thank you for your review. I enjoyed reading it :D

Chapter 53: Dear, reviewer-nim ^^
Thank you very much for everything you have done. I deeply appreciate it. Actually I have been expecting that you would give this fanfiction very, very low score, but since you gave me higher than my expectation, I need to thank you once again. Well, I believe that reviewing my story was troublesome to you to some extent... I'm aware of how boring and badly-written it actually is, but thank you, you've worked hard to complete your review. And can I say that you point out everything PERFECTLY?? Your review is PERFECT, no doubt about it! I won't go against it either! Can I copy paste your review into my personal note, so I can use it for future revision?

About English, I've been learning it since 2006... and that's when I went to university. I always have the greed to know more and more about English, just because, yeah, I love English. It is like a door that leads me to the real, wide world. And through it, I can learn many things, new things I never know before. English is very helpful and I always encourage myself to learn it seriously, from books, movies, songs, everything! And I realize... "Six Drops to Ecstasy" is my experiment. It's more like the reflection of my will to learn English rather than a literature (hahaha, did I use the correct expression?). That's why, I've been thinking of starting all over again. Rewriting the story. Changing certain aspects of the characters. Simplifying my words. I need to do this, because I grow to love this story now and want to make it "more worthy to read as a literature work". For the sake of my six Sakamaki vampires, I'll never abandon this story... and yeah, because this is a tribute to Diabolik Lovers.

(OMG, sorry for my very bad English)

Chapter 52: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for pointing out my grammatical errors...I've been extremely lazy and haven't bothered to edit anything since i'm currently busy struggling through the last year of high school, and the one thing about grammar that I often get confused about is tenses so...thanks for that.
Anyway, will credit you right now! xD

Chapter 46: Hello, sorry I'm really late, but thank you so much for doing the review.
Hm. Have you ever heard of the Peter Pan Complex? It does exist in some individuals. It's a complex against growing up. In the shoes of someone who's never struggle with a neuroses, the sentiments must have seemed forced. Ga, this just means I need to work harder on my writing skills to portray the complexes. Thank you for pointing that out. I think maybe I over-generalised the fear of growing up, because I did have that fear to the point that I couldn't sleep at night, and leading to other health problems. Perhaps not everybody is like that, but from personal experience, I didn't think it wasn't an exaggeration. STILL It's a comfort to know that not everybody has to struggle through that haha. Thank you.
Anyway, thank you for a different perspective on the story. It's despairingly interesting. Haha. I will be crediting this shop right now.
Love,
Epione
