The one who has my heart

Title: 7/10
 I mean, yeah, it’s kind of like a pun, in a morbid way. Lol. Also, there wasn't anything that was drastically wrong, but it did look cliche at first glance. So if there was a different name that you like, hey its up to you if you want to change it. 

 

Plot: 19/35

                3/5: Originality
                High school love at first sight. Not really the most original. But you did add the fact that it was Jongin that died in the end. So, yay, plot twist.

                4/10: Believability
                Alright, I’ll start from the end. No doctor will immediately take someone who is willing to give their heart up for someone that needs a transplant. Doctors have to test if the patients are even a match. In the off chance that they were matches would have been very slim and Kyungsoo would have survived the surgery.
However, if Kyungsoo wasn’t a match for Jongin’s heart, then they both would’ve died, so everything would have been in vain. From there, I’m not one for love at first sight type of things. But when you threw in the fact that Jongin invited Kyungsoo to stay the night, I just didn’t get it. Sure, Kyungsoo might’ve lost his keys, but he has a phone. Kyungsoo could’ve called his mom to see if she could get home earlier or something. Now I know if that happened then we wouldn’t have had a plot. So something more realistic would be if they were at school and Kyungsoo passed out, something like that.
Moving on, the thing with the teacher. She would’ve gotten fired if she called students names. I’m pretty sure no teacher in the world would make fun of their students and called them names. You could have easily have made her a student and a bully. That would’ve made more sense.

                4/10: Narration
                Personally, first person is just so painful to read. Also, it felt like you were using the stream of consciousness style of writing. That too is also painful to read. Try to break things up more when writing. Meaning, don’t have every though that comes to Jongin’s mind be clumped together. Same thing with dialogue. Make a new paragraph every time someone new is speaking.

                8/10: Setting

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!
