Hi there, so I am Tigress. I've been a writer/reader of fanfics for four years now, and a reviewer and beta for two.

I typically write angst or fantasy, those are both my great loves, but I am happy to try out anything.

I like to read just about anything, any band, any pairing, etc. I do tend to stay away from You stories or from EXO ones, but I have found some good ones on random occasion so I don't just write them off as being bad right away. =)  

I tend to think I'm pretty nice, and I try to give advice that will help the author not only with that particular reviewed story but also with writing in general.

What's up, guys! I'm South. I have past experience as a beta-reader and now I'm a reviewer with The New Library! 

When writing, I drift more towards the fantasy, science fiction, paranormal genres, though, when I read, the stories that catch my attention the most are the ones with unique or unusual characters, the genre doesn't matter. I'll willingly read all genres including and yuri and those with mature ratings. 

When it comes to K-pop groups, I am most familiar with SM Entertainment (SuJu, SNSD, SHINee, EXO) and YG Entertainment (BIGBANG, 2NE1) though I listen to music and read fanfics about just about everyone. 

In my reviews, I tend to be lenient with the scoring but very honest in the comments. I always try to explain my comments and include suggestions for improvement so my reviews tend to be on the longer side. But I hope they're full of information that will help you become a better writer!

Hello there, I'm Saff. 

As an aspiring Literature major, reading is undeniably my passion. I find interest in just about any genre as I like to venture in different areas of literature but I must mention that I tend to lean towards lighter themes. :3 

I will be honest within reason when it comes to my reviews as I'm not harsh at all although I do stress the importance of diction and writing style. I'm very kind with scoring and yes, I welcome and yuri!

Hello everyone~!! My name's Julie and I hope to be of help to you and become your friend! 

I joined this site because there were just so many interesting stories I wanted to read but some of them required to be a member lol so here I am one year later! Also, there were a lot of stories that looked to be in need of help so that's also a reason. 

Don't be afraid to talk to me I'm almost always here and I'm not scary so don't worry I won't get mad or anything~! Thank you for your time~!! And have a good day~!

 I'm a hobby writer and reader. I prefer to read GirlxGirl fanfics and likes to stay away from genderbenders.
When writing I tend to write Angst Oneshots.
I try to pay alot of attention to Spelling and Grammar. 
Aswell as storyline and writing style.
How the story develops and how well written the characters are. (and how they develop of course)

Hi guys, I'm Franzi or BloomingApril (whatever, call me Franz and I'll end you haha).

I'm an enthusiastic coffee addict and passionate about everything I find interest in. That includes writing and of course reading. 
I'm generally a really honest person and due to the fact that literature is so dear to me I tend to be pretty harsh in my reviews without any ill will intended of course. 
There are no limitations to what I read, as long as it's well-written and captures my attention I'll read it with utmost care and appreciate every word as I know how difficult it can be to translate your visions into words, the atmosphere you strive to create with only letters as your tools.
I do stress the importance of grammar and finding your own style as cheesy as it sounds but whatever happens I won't belittle you and if you have the same passion for writing as me I am more than glad to help you and point out not only the flaws in your story but also your talent for certain aspects of writing to assist you in growing.

Hello to everyone, I am Katerina!

I am a straightforward person and I always tell people what is on my mind, so as I reviewer I am trying to be as honest as it is possible with authors, but don't be afraid of me.
I prefer to read stories with happy endings, because I am a sappy romantic, but I am opened for reviewing any kind of stories. 
I read a lot, and I know a lot too.
I know that biggest part of writers here don't have English as their native language, so regarding the Grammar I will try to be as understanding as possible.

Chapter 57: WOW I'M THRILLED. Didn't expect the review to be this good (or maybe I did). Ahaha.
First of all, BIG BIG thanks to you SouthWest! I can clearly see how you really read through each important detail in my story and I feel very appreciated. Thank you for all the time you took to review, it means a lot to me! I had a bad experience when I paid kps for a review yet they did it so poorly as if they just skimmed the story rather than read it. But this shop actually gave free service for such a great review! Months of waiting for this review is totally worth it.
Okay, and I actually sort of predicted the downside you mentioned here since I've worried about it a lot: the slow progress of the story. It didn't occure to me when I first wrote it, but it did when I almost finished it and read it back. So thank you so much for telling me about it. Now I can be sure that it is a problem I should fix. And about the question on why he was even in SM when he wanted to be with Ana so much, the explanation of all that is actually on the next chapter. It's still on the process of beta-reading for now so I'll post it once the editing is finished. I hope you'll read it when you have time ^^
I like it how you noticed that I focused more on emotions rather than visuals. Actually, describing visuals has been my weakness. I find describing the feelings is rather easier than visuals; or perhaps I guess I'm just so obsessed with pain and heartbreak /slapped. But I will try to keep improving on that!
This is the part that I'm thrilled about: how you said I'm really good at getting into a character’s head. I've been thinking that this is my talent /slapped again-- ahaha but not so many people told me this, and I'm always happy whenever someone mentions it. (Will continue on the reply)

Hello, I'm sorry, not that I'm rushing or anything-- but how is the progress of my request? I have seen that the person doing my review doesn't have their name on the foreword anymore, and I'm wondering why. May I know what happened?

After thinking much i still believe that Clovers is the best title because of Youngwoon’s struggle and the end revelation that there are two 4-leaf-clovers. What other titles would you think would fit? i really can’t think of anything. I will pay more attention to the chronological set, thanks for pointing it out, describing places is not my forte.
if you would like to make better comparison you can watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01xbvbbSyvc it shows the main story of the manga and pretty much explains the background i tried to incorporate, basically Suu (the four leaf clover) makes a deal with a wizard, kazuhiko (the one with a leaf in his hand) would take her out of her cave and bring her to an amusement park, once there Suu would kill herself, the other wizards didn’t know of this bargain and tried to capture her back so they used the power of the other imprisoned clovers (the serpent, the birds and the fairy statue), in the end she saves kazuhiko but kills herself. I really don’t like this end lol so I wrote what i wanted suu to do for the other clovers and the biological power is my invention XD the bomb is from the clover manga, suu kills herself by allowing the wizard to implant a bomb in her and then exploding it when she was alone at the amusement park
I will take your advices in the development and when i have time i will work on exploring more of Sungmin’s feelings thanks for pointing that out too
should i add the video i liked you in the description to help those that had never read the manga?

Chapter 47: Thank you so much for the review, SouthWest!!
I'm sorry for such a late pick-up, I've been on hiatus during the end of year, and I just now came back! Now to my comment!

You’re right about the title! I didn't add the element of fate anywhere in the story, and I'm feeling really silly because of that now XD I usually have trouble with titles, and I didn't think too much when coming up this one XD (maybe I'll try to add a mention of fate here and there with the old lady, to tie-in with the title!)
About the fieldtrip, I actually wanted to describe Jeju a bit more (especially the volcanic caves part, which I'm super interested in!), but because of the word count restrain, I feel that a lot of things got left out. After reading your review, I found myself wanting to edit it and just forget about the word count XD
About the scene in the convenience store (in chapter two, with Maeri panicking because Mingyu disappeared), I think the problem is my description XD. She's panicking because she felt abandoned and like she didn't have control over the situation. He disappeared and she didn't even notice, because she was too wrapped up in herself and such. She was feeling bad about herself, and being judgmental with her own personality, which only fueled those anxieties she had. I think I should definitely edit that scene and try to make that come through a little more (and maybe remove the word 'panic', since it's such a strong word, and try other adjectives).
I'm so happy you gave me a perfect score for characterization!! That's what I focus most on my stories, and it's nice to see my efforts paid off! (Though Mingyu seems to need some editing! He needs to be more consistent. I think I was focusing too much on developing Maeri, and I sort of forgot about his motivations. I definitely have to review those moments you mentioned! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!)
(Rest of the comment in the reply section because I write too much XD)
