i know it somehow doesnt makes sense that id pick this one. perhaps i just envy y/n lmao. but aside from that, this quote just pointed out one common thing that most stories have.

and thats when the main character is oblivious of those who like them or just blatantly ignorant about it. but in my review, im gonna make sure i show everyone that u make ur book very much interesting and unique on its own way.

hi dearest luna, this is vminfairy your head chef, and i hope ü enjoy your order ♡

1. Hors d'oeuvres ( 5 / 5 )

the cover is simple and packed with information; the title, the idols involved and a short quote at the end of the photo. the photo used also goes along with the storyline. i have nothing else to say but IT REALLY DOES CAPTURE someone's attention. good job on that! plus the awards it won, congratulations on that.

Title : Spooky Love

Description :

im not even gonna lie. I LOVED IT. i swear i could've seen a book with the same title before but it just perfectly fits the plot, what else could you name it? it's already perfect. and i live for the description. short but enough to make a reader crave for more. the quote above is a bonus. what more can i say?

3. Salad ( 5 / 5 )

you started it off pretty good! and may i add that it was hella mysterious. a reader like me wouldn't probably have second thoughts about swiping up for more! the use of time-lapse in between of the dialogues was great, i'd say u utilized it pretty well.

4. Main Dish ( 13 / 15 )

the love line in the story is given but it's difficult to figure out who's like the end-game in the story. seeing jungkook as the cover of the book means that it must revolve around him and the female main character. but as you read more, it seems like they start to develop feelings for each other although y/n also has a crush on taehyung, which is intriguing. there are a lot of ghost love stories out there but you managed to make yours outstanding by adding your own elements. for example, you call them wanderers and what's great is that jungkook is not one of them so readers will likely wonder what he is. there is also the involvement of the reapers which adds more intense. i gave a thirteen on this because i think that some chapters have more potential on adding more content (i guess). for instance, it's a story that involves spirits, perhaps, add a little horror element to it with a twist. horror to comedy maybe? you can try anything it's your story. just a recommendation. (:

5.  Palate Cleanser ( 9 / 15 )

the book was written casually but i see the effort you've done. for me, it's fine writing like that. heck, i actually read anything as long as the plot interests me. but there's something that readers feel from the way we write. from fear to excitement, and the list goes on. i think it'll be more thrilling to read if you perhaps make your readers feel those emotions inside the story.  

i recall that ive reviewed one of your books before as well, and for the grammar and punctuation id say that in this book it improved; great job! but of course, like ive said before, typos and errors are inevitable. here are some that ive noticed. 

in the photo above, we lack the usual comma. im going to make this short. so instead of 

You know that girl right?

it should be

You know that girl, right?

ive discussed that comma might be a small thing but for some, it pleases the eyes of the readers.

in the next photo, we missed an article. id say that this is just a common situation where we forgot to add it (im also guilty of this). so in here, it says

It was secret between him and well......himself. 

but maybe it should be

It was a secret between him and well... himself.

notice how I also changed the number of periods. well, because when it comes to writing formally i think we must stick with the proper punctuation. and three periods or what we call an ellipsis would be enough on this part.

although the punctuation is in the right places, in this photo we misused a word. according to oxford languages, irony is a noun; a statement or an idea that interprets its opposite, usually for humorous or emphatic effect. in this situation, it didn't look like you need a noun, but an adjective form of it. again, according to oxford languages, ironic is an adjective; which is characterized by irony. in conclusion, id say that instead of

How irony, right?

maybe you should rewrite it as

How ironic, right?

lastly, the photo above is about consistency. in your blurb and some chapters, it's written as "Lee Y/N" and in here it's written oppositely. id say that consistency is a key. so i think that we should practice keeping our elements or text the way we wrote them from the first time. besides, "Lee Y/N" is a name, i think it's just that we capitalize it in the book to make it look formal. 

keep in mind that everything written in here is based on what ive learned from school, books, or even the internet. and im very much open to corrections if id say anything wrong. plus, all of these are just my opinions and suggestions from my own perspective. <3

6. Second Main Dish ( 9.5 / 10 )

i see every character's purpose in the story. and each of them develops in the story beautifully. well, the story isn't done yet so im betting that readers will see more of it as the story continues. ALSO, it's good that you added mysterious backgrounds from the characters. even namjoon, i was like who is jungkook to him or something like that. that's also a great technique to keep the readers want for more.

well, you ended it pretty well. it's a cliffhanger and who wouldn't want to wait for the next chapter.

+ Wine ( 3 / 5 )

adding notes at the end is fine. it's actually cute that you show an effort to interact with your readers (and i envy u for that). but in some cases, especially when a chapter ends sadly or mysteriously, it somehow breaks the momentum the reader currently has.
