Humour Winners!
Note: I'm so sorry these winners took so long. I went through THREE judges for this genre. The first one dropped out, the second stopped responding, and finally, my third amazing judge came through. I need to give a huge thank you to: agilasigma for stepping in and helping out. Again, I'm sorry for the delay, this won't happen again.
Now then, onto the winners! And please remember to thank your judge for all of their hard work! They truly deserve it!
PLEASE REMEMBER!!: If you'd like your winner sticker please send a private message to my main account: coolcourtney5

Review: The cover and the blurb are simple and direct, although I'm doubtful they have that hook. The chapters are concise as well, making it very easy to understand and appreciate even by the simplest of casual readers. My concern would be how to make it appealing to a wider audience.
Honestly, I find myself being in the situations mentioned (solitaire, lip balm), so the work is relatable.
Since the format is rather unconventional, technical writing judgment doesn't seem to apply fully. I do note the tense consistency and lack of misspellings (if there were any, I might have missed them). I'd highly recommend this for anyone seeking lighter reading.
Congratulations lovely!

Review: The cover is actually nice, although I think it gives a vibe of suspense rather than humor. I also recommend the summary to be written in the present tense for formality.
Technical writing needs to be improved (high-pitched, unnecessary indents, missing/extra spaces, orphaned/missing pronouns, typo, misplaced "that", stamp v. stomp, Mr. Know-It-All, minimal tense jump, trait v. treat). Some parts made me stop and do double takes to follow along properly.
I appreciate how quickly the plot and characters develop/interact. It's one of the quickest yet most efficient I've seen so far on Wattpad, if not the.
It did manage to make me chuckle a bit, given that Liar Liar is a thing already and that "forceful truth" items are a trope. It is unique in its own way. Maybe extending the story to add more depth and humor as well as polishing the technical side should make it stand out more.
Congratulations lovely! <3

Review: The cover and the blurb are very appropriate for the story. Minor technical errors found (capitalization, spacing) but doesn't ruin the reading experience. If there were any misspellings, I may have missed them. The chapters' length, pacing and development are just right to sustain readership attention. I'm just disappointed that it's on hiatus; hopefully the story could be sustained.

Review: Minimal grammatical errors found (beat-up, missing punctuations, wrong capitalization, tense jump, usage - poll v. pole) but it doesn't ruin the reading experience.
I don't see the need to italicize MC's thoughts, since the story is written in 1st person already.
The cover and the blurb are simple and direct while having that hook - just enough to pique the average passerby reader's interest. Chapter length are ok, and will sustain interest. The character development and interactions are well-paced, so I have nothing further to add.
Just a little more polishing on the technical writing aspect, and I think this might catch a publisher's eye.
I'm not usually interested in humor romance stories, but this one was interesting enough for a fantasy/short story author to appreciate and finish. Highly recommended read.
Congratulations lovelies!! <3 <3

Review: The cover and the blurb are simple and direct yet creative and eye-catching - perfect for the theme.
While this may be humor, actually some of these do happen especially in the 3rd world. And humor/satire should be non-PC, exactly how this was written. Note the tense consistency and lack of misspellings (if there were any, I might have missed them), making it a technical eyecandy. The way it is now, I don't think anything should be changed. Very highly recommended.
Congratulations lovely!!! <3 <3 <3
