After the Accident: A Specter's Interference
written by Amalya
reviewed by -Tigress-

 

Title: 7/10
While the title fits the story completely, it is incredibly long. To be honest, if I were choosing things to read purely on title alone, I would not likely choose this one, not only because of the length but because it is not very eye-catching. 
Cutting it down to simply be 'After the Accident' would be better, or 'The Specter's Inference' even more so, since it would be eye-catching, as well as sticking to the theme of your story.

 

Plot: 35/35

                5/5: Originality
                As usual, your plot is incredibly original and well thought out. Space-ship themes, especially in the VIXX fandom, are actually a quite popular thing, but you've spun this tale in a completely different way than any I've ever read. Super well done!

                10/10: Believability
                Well it's a ghost story. LOL. But in the reality you've created, I thought that all of the events were believable and nicely done. My one qualm came with the sleep thing! Was Hakyeon's lack of dreaming because of Wonshik's presence? When a body is super tired, the subconscious automatically throws us into REM sleep, which is where dreaming happens. That's why when someone is very tired, they drift right into dreaming when they fall asleep. So when I read that part about Hakyeon not dreaming anymore, it struck me as odd unless it was something that Wonshik was doing. So! I did not knock off any points for it so as to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but if it is then you might want to add it in that he was toying with Hakyeon's dreams.

                10/10: Narration
                This is yet another fantastic example of how much you shine as a writer. Throughout this story, you switched consistently from Hakyeon to Taekwoon's POVs, and yet there was a solid voice used throughout. Your vocabulary and the way you set the scene is fantastic, as always.

                10/10: Setting
                There are times that you've bee

Chapter 22: After finally finishing writing It Begins With Blood (still posting the last couple chapters), I decided to revisit the previous review. It still has just as much impact now as it did then, if not more so. There are certainly many things I could go back and change to make it more accessible to readers and more pertinent to the tags specifically listed. As I got to the end, it definitely felt even harder to juggle the people I'd introduced and to make sure they all had some sort of resolution. To the point that I'm not sure I succeeded even half as well as I intended. But I do know that with the sound critique given, the access to the polls taken, and the suggestions made in regards to how I can make it better, this is certainly a project I would like to put under the microscope again at a later point in time. Perhaps when it's not so fresh (now) and it's had a chance to settle. Writing 'The End' is always hard with any extensive piece of work and this one was no different. But I do feel I can make it better and give it a stronger direction and purpose in the future. To that end, I wanted to thank Amber_Sica again and especially you Librarian for keeping the reviews in an easily accessible archive for later perusal. It's incredibly helpful and I will be coming back to it in the future. Cheers!
