━ TITLE. 5 pts.

Snow - 4/5Title is unique and fitting to the story.

Kitara - 3/5It's a good title but I didn't find the full relevance to the storyline because it's about zombies

━ COVER. 10 pts.

Snow - 8/10The cover is beautiful and match the story perfectly.But the vertical fonts made the cover a bit packed and jumbled up.

Kitara - 9/10 amazing very aesthetic and fits the theme of the storyline perfectly

━ DESCRIPTION. 10 pts.

Snow - 7/10The description was nice and simple and at the same time, they kept it interesting. Though the description reveals out almost the whole theme of the book, it can attract readers.

Kitara - 10/10Intriguing and very creative. It got me wanting to know more about this book

━ PLOT. 20 pts.

Snow- 14/20To be honest, the plot isn't something unique. Rather it is like the typical zombie apocalyptic story where there is a regular survivor, people who sacrifice themselves for the survival of that protagonist, then protagonists team up with a few other survivors and there is someone who comes from authority to save them.The book is good, no doubt it that. But among all the zombie apocalyptic movies and tv series we are being bombarded with, the book seemed like a penned down version of some of those. Especially it gave me a strong resident evil vibe along with walking dead.There weren't any plot holes so far and unfortunately the two twists it had was a bit predictable. But the whole portrayal of the story in this book was beautiful and engaging. Keep up the good work!

Kitara - 19/20 You took a common plot and owned it. You turn it into something amazing. I loved your plotline, wished there were more twists and turns in it but amazing

━ CHARACTER. 10 pts.

Snow - 8/10I loved the female protagonist. You tried to portray her as a strong character and you have successfully done that. She is easily believable as an independent and strong woman with confidence. Her development and vulnerability were great. So far we have a few characters and Jin's character is yet to develop, but I think you are gonna do it justice too.You didn't make the characters cliche and they were very real and believable that is what made this book even more beautiful.

Kitara - 8/10Characters were well described and well-developed. Can add more to the development and be a bit more creative

━ WRITING STYLE. 10 pts.

Snow - 9/10Your writing style is amazing. Not so overly emotionally descriptive, but at the same time, not so packed. The flow was great and I almost could visualize whatever you have written. The writing style was just perfect for the story. The story was common but your expertise in describing them was able to keep the readers engaged to the very last. I loved it.

Kitara - 9/10Very descriptive, very realistic. Easy to understand what was going on and could connect to it

━ GRAMMAR & SPELLING. 10 pts.

Snow - 9/10Your grammar was excellent.I encountered some typos and misplaced words which are easily correctable later on.

Kitara - 8/10There were few spelling and grammar errors. I suggest you edit the book and proofread your work again

━ SENSE AND EMOTIONS. 10 pts.

Snow - 8/10The composed character of jungkook and the strong yet emotionally drained protagonist was portrayed beautifully. I could easily understand the emotions and the caring personality of Jin was excellent. The building tension between the two leads was very well done. Good work on that.

Kitara - 10/10You could feel everything. All of the emotions, you could connect to the amazing characters. Everything just made sense. Very descriptive and intriguing

━ STRUCTURE. 5 pts.

Snow - 4/5A bit fast-paced and a little predictable.The story is yet to go through some huge twists and turns, but so far, the build-up is good and captivating

Kitara - 4/5Your pace was well-maintained. There were some parts the flow was off

━ IMPRESSION. 10 pts.

Snow - 9/10I loved this book.I could easily visualise the whole picture like a motion film and it was very entertaining and a good read.The author had done a good job keeping no plot holes and giving emphasis on the characters.

Kitara - 10/10Simply love this book and I wish the author would update soon I want to know how it ends

━ SUMMARY.

Snow - The story starts at the onset of a zombie apocalypse and runs through the survival story of the protagonist. The description or the way the author wrote these scenarios immediately drew me into the book. It was so good that I could almost see the story on the tv screen. The story is a bit predictable and common. But the author did an excellent job at her writing that would surely keep the readers engaged till the last.The characters were very good and I hope we would see a bit more of jin's perspective and his character built up in upcoming updates.You have done an excellent job, author nim.Thank you for such a nice book!

Kitara - As I said before, you are very descriptive. It was easy to connect to all of the characters and you can tell what was going on. you had me question if they were keeping stuff from each other and what Yoongi was truly feeling.

━ POINTS. 100

Snow - 80/100

Kitara - 90/100

━ AVERAGE. 85/ 100

━ TITLE. 5 pts.

Snow - 4/5Suits the book but sounds quite a cliche and typical.

Kitara - 4/5-- Fits well with the whole concept, considering it's a system that plays a major role in the book.

━ COVER. 10 pts.

Snow - 7/10I loved the colour palette the author used here and it matched the story. But the cover was too packed with words and I think the fonts could have done better which would have blended with the background a little more.

Kitara - 10/10-- Beautiful cover, visible fonts and quite eye-catching.

━ DESCRIPTION. 10 pts.

Snow - 7/10The description was too long.The readers don't want to pay attention, rather they want to be interested at the first glance. The philosophical line used at first was unnecessary and it immediately dimmed down the interest.I suggest she get rid of that part and start with the snippet of the story.

Kitara - 10/10-- The whole description just draws me in, it's so unique and captivating.

━ PLOT. 20 pts.

Snow- 16/20The plot was interesting but surprisingly enough I have encountered almost the same concept here in this category from another writer and that's why this book didn't seem very unique to me. But the idea of being the protector and their ways of solving the problems were worth praising. She has done an excellent job on that. Well done!

Kitara - 20/20-- This is the most original shit I've ever read T_T you did so well on this book and the whole plot. I even forgot I was reading to judge at one point, everything was perplexing and made me want to get to the next chapter.

━ CHARACTER. 10 pts.

Snow - 7/10The characters were quite dimmed down in comparison to the ambience of the book. The protagonist didn't show any development throughout the book.Though the author at first tried to make the whole bts this bunch of cool and tough guys, but eventually ended up making them very typical protectors dating rookies every one of them. The seniors didn't show any aspect of their position at all.But I loved their plain characters nonetheless.But there was pretty impressive on jin's development. Making him cool yet caring and at the same time professional and not afraid to show appreciation was worth mentioning.

Kitara - 9/10-- Beautifully described characters with their little quirks and personalities that are different from the rest.

━ WRITING STYLE. 10 pts.

Snow - 8/10The writing style was good. Not super elaborated, but at the same time not too minimalistic. I understand it was love universe, but repetitive use of "love shape" this or that, making everything in this certain pattern made me feel like I was reading immature teen fiction. And these types of things make a better story kind of cringy. Apart from this part, the writing part was good.

Kitara - 10/10-- My favourite type of writing style, there's enough description but not too much that doesn't go overboard. You give me time to imagine things and create the world in my mind.

━ GRAMMAR & SPELLING. 10 pts.

Snow - 8/10Though the grammar was pretty decent, I found some flaws and mistakes here and there.

Kitara - 10/10-- I spotted next to nothing, there was no spelling errors or punctuation mistakes.

━ SENSE AND EMOTIONS. 10 pts.

Snow - 7/10There were emotional scenes or the parts where we can relate to the emotions the characters were going through. But unfortunately, this book didn't do that for me. Waking up in a very strange place- but the protagonist was so natural at her behaviour. She wasn't even surprised and even took the matter very casually. Even if she was surprised or overwhelmed, it wasn't up there for the readers to feel it. When she feels pain seeing jin or her emotions never actually touched me. It seemed like the writing about that was for the statement that she was crying, but not for wanting people to feel it too.I hope the author works on that.

Kitara - 9/10-- I could feel the character's raw emotion and thoughts. Everything was so real and perfect.

━ STRUCTURE. 5 pts.

Snow - 4/5The structure was good and the flow was perfect for the story.

Kitara - 5/5-- Brilliant. From the writing to the way you produce dialogues with your characters, it all flows smoothly.

━ IMPRESSION. 10 pts.

Snow - 8/10Apart from the part about emotions, I liked this story a lot. There was a dreamy vibe in the story which is enough to keep the readers engaged.

Kitara - 10/10-- From the very first glance at the cover, I knew this book was going to allure me and it hasn't failed.

━ SUMMARY.

Snow - The story was dreamy and well-written fantasy.But I loved the message so much that need to mention it secludedly.And the words the guardians used for comforting the suicidal souls were very thoughtful and wise.Overall, the book was a very nice read.The book is confused sometimes. Cause at places, it was so maturely written and in some places, it just gave delusional fantasy ridden cringy writing style. But with the mixture of the twos, it was a very nice book.

Kitara - This is like the perfect fanfiction I read that even made me forget it's fanfiction. To be honest, I'm probably gonna add it to my library and await further updates.

━ POINTS. 100

Snow - 76/100

Kitara - 97/100

━ AVERAGE. 86.5/ 100

AJ- the book is great, easily understandable and enjoyable to read, and has the best plot!! congratulations!!

THE FROST

[ ashley_ruth ]

━ TITLE. 5 pts.

Snow - 5/5The title suited the book perfectly and was different from other titles I have encountered.

Kitara - 3/5-- I haven't made any connection with the title and the cover except for the frost relating to his cold attitude.

━ COVER. 10 pts.

Snow - 9/10The cover was simple yet elegant.Though the fonts seem a bit packed, I loved the simplicity and soothing colour palette used in this book that fitted and unfitted the ambience of the story at the same time and I am sure many readers will agree with me.Though I loved the cover, many people may not like it, so I'd advise you to find a cover shop for improvement.

Kitara - 4/10-- The picture is blurry, the subtitle is not so visible and I'm not sure if you're aware but you can't use a fanart as your cover.

━ DESCRIPTION. 10 pts.

Snow - 10/10Loved it. The way the author described in a minimalistic manner hinting at one climax and at the same time not revealing too much and left the readers curious is just perfect

Kitara - 8/10-- It tells a good amount about the story and leaves us wanting more and to know what happens next.

━ PLOT. 20 pts.

Snow- 20/20Mind-blowing.The plot was very very different from other action thriller fanfiction out there and it is very original. There were no plot holes and the story build-up throughout the book was excellent. The detailing was surprisingly extraordinary. Readers may find the book a little staggering and a bit technical in the middle, but I think that was necessary for the next build-ups. But the strength of this book is mainly its strong plot and very cool settings throughout the entire book.

Kitara - 18/20-- Interesting and original. I don't think I've seen much suspense/thriller fanfics here on Wattpad and the way you made do with your ideas was amazing.

━ CHARACTER. 10 pts.

Snow - 10/10I loved the character developments in this story.I loved the slow revealing of the characters' reasons and their backstories. The character development of Arya was just chef's kiss along with the perfectly righteous and mysterious vibe of Jin. I loved that the author gave time to explore the characters and gave emphasis on the development of every character, be it minor or major. The characters were very realistic and relatable and not at all cringy. Kudos to the author for writing these strong yet respectable characters.

Kitara - 9/10-- You crafted them well, I seem to be getting attached to quite a few.

━ WRITING STYLE. 10 pts.

Snow - 9/10The flow was perfect.Not too slow yet not too fast. The author took time to light on the backstories little by little just when it needed it and the readers can have answers and get the idea of the characters and their reasons at right time. The writing style was very engaging. Not too fancy words or not very descriptive but at the same time captivating enough to visualize anything she wrote. It is just perfect.

Kitara - 9/10-- Flows well and is easy to read. You have the right amount of description and dialogue for imagination.

━ GRAMMAR & SPELLING. 10 pts.

Snow - 9/10The grammar was very good.Though I have noticed some typos and word misplacements here and there, except that, everything was good. The sentence structure was good. The vocabulary wasn't extraordinary or rich, but not too ordinary as well.

Kitara - 9/10-- Found next to nothing with typos and grammar. There is the thing about you forgetting to leave another line for the next paragraph but a proofread wouldn't hurt.

━ SENSE AND EMOTIONS. 10 pts.

Snow - 10/10I loved the ride.The author didn't make the readers go through tons of emotions or angst or anything. But the emotions she showed through the characters were so relatable and realistic. I loved the way she portrayed strong emotions in a very easy and conveying way that as a reader, I could feel it. It didn't make me cry or shout, but it took me on a ride with what the characters going through. I loved the fact that to show the cool side, the author didn't try to make the characters over powerful or blunts or strong. I lived the bitterness and vulnerabilities and their way of facing it. Just loved it.

Kitara - 8/10-- I did get confused over some parts but nothing a little reread couldn't solve. Your way of portraying emotion is a little vague but still, I'm able to understand.

━ STRUCTURE. 5 pts.

Snow - 5/5It was very perfect.For the starter where the reader can get the first idea and go along with the rides of the characters and that leads into the second part where we can have a bit more insights and backstories here and there. I loved the fact the author didn't smack the whole flashback or a general idea of what happened before in our face all at once. Rather leaving it here and there and getting readers to put the puzzles together was excellent. And coming to the part where the chaos is subsiding for time being an enjoyable time in relaxation with anticipation of things getting hectic again made the book even better.Would eagerly wait for the update.You have done a good job! Fighting!

Kitara - 4/5 -- Well built with the writing and plot.

━ IMPRESSION. 10 pts.

Snow - 10/10The story was excellent, character development was excellent, so was the pace.I loved reading this book so much that I didn't need to skip a single word on it and finished the whole book within one day considering this book has more than 50 chapters and almost each of the chapters contained 3000+ words.

Kitara - 7/10-- The cover put me off but the plot was really good.

━ SUMMARY.

Snow - I loved this book. I think it was a different story in the repetitive cringy and cliche story we have in fan fiction. The plot was very original and different with excellent character development and very interesting characters.Had very expressive and stunning action scenes which amazed me. It was elegant and cool.Honestly, I have no complaints about this book at all.The writer has a very engaging writing style. Though she could try to be a little more descriptive.Lastly, this book is extraordinary. I loved the characters the author portrayed with so much coolness and at the same time relatable to us with faults, flaws and our darkness and shadows. It is a perfectly balanced book where the author emphasized the story and characters development.Best of luck with this book, can't wait to read further.

Kitara - You need to work on your cover to attract more attention.
