💞∘─Results of Romance─∘💞

1. BOOK :: ETHEREAL REVERIE
AUTHOR:: janefanfics

Title :: 4 /5
The Title was unique and interesting. It really matches with the plot and theme of your story.

Cover :: 3 /5
The cover was eye appealing and I liked the colour contrasts. But the fonts looked deficient.

Blurb:: 5 /5
The blurb was well written and it has the quality Which can make the readers open your book instantly and read the pages.

Mechanics:: 12/20
I have seen in several areas you have added a few poetic lines which enhanced the writing quality. But in some areas your writing was not correct...the flow was missing. Constant changing of povs. And missing dialogue tags in numerous areas. I think you should stress on your writing style. There were places you have given enough background details and in some areas you didn't give the necessary information. The writing looks a bit messy in my opinion but you can do good ...I observed you have potential.

Plot :: 15/25
The story setting is very good, the characters were developed beautifully. But the story is not completed yet...so unfortunately I cannot comment on the plot. I was very interested after reading your blurb, eagerly waiting for the ultimate twist...but the story is ongoing. But overall your story so far was going good. Have given marks for that.

Flow & pacing:: 11/15
The flow of your story was smooth however, I felt it was a bit slow. You have explained all the details and gave readers the scope to connect with your characters.

Characters Development:: 9 /10
I loved the way you have presented all your Characters and given them a vital role to play in your story. Personally I liked the character of Y/n Mother. She was caring and humble. On the other hand Y/n's and Jungkook's character was executed in a very good way.

Creativity and Originality:: 5/5
I could see how much efforts and dedication you have given in your story...to decorate the pages to make it more appealing and aesthetic. The poetic lines at the end of chapter 10 touched my heart. You have shown your full creativity and I Loved your uniqueness and Originality.

Emotions 9/10
The way you have presented the book so far...I could relate with it and imagination clearly their situations and feel their emotions. Well written and expressed.

Total:: 73/100

2. Book : TWISTED LOVE
Author:: SAM-JUDITH5

Title:: 5/5
Book title was interesting and captivating .

Cover:: 2/5
Cover does not look eye appealing and aesthetic. The picture is hazy and grainy. The font colour is also not working well there.

Blurb:: 5/5
The blurb is written perfectly. Lengthwise and the matter in there is sufficient.

Mechanics:: 8/20
There are ample mistakes I have noticed. There's no space between sentences, two words and you are straight off starting your sentences in lowercase after you put a period. Using bold words in between signifies no meaning. The breaking of paragraphs are properly done. There are some spelling errors, you have to correct them.
Sentence construction is a bit weak. The writing style needs to be improved.

Plot :: 18/25
The story setting was not bad. Your idea and plot is also strong but you lacked in execution . I think you haven't completed your book. I want to read more of your book because it is taking an interesting twist .

Flow & Pacing:: 9/15
At some point it felt like your book was a bit fast and you didn't describe a few things in detail. The minor mistakes in your book creates hindrance in the flow. Try to proofread before posting your stories. It will help.

Characters Development:: 5/10
Character Development is one thing you also need to stress on. You cannot just put up a picture randomly. You have to describe the character part by part in between your story telling. I think you should take ideas from the book available offline for your better understanding.

Creativity and Originality:: 3/5
I could feel that your book has potential and the plot is really good...you just need to be more creative and innovative just to make your book stand out. Rest is good.

Emotions:: 5/10
You need to describe the character's emotions more carefully. Every minor detail you add in your story should have a role to play. Should have a meaning behind it...so that we readers can connect to the characters and the prevailing situations.

Total:: 55/100
