DAYDREAM

[ strawberry1d ]

━ TITLE. 5 pts.

dynamic_dream - 4/5The title matches the storyline in an abstract manner which is appreciable. Since it is also Hoseok's song and also makes a person curious. But I do not like how so much is given like J-Hope ff and soulmate AU. These can be given in the blurb or the author's note.

ASG_JK - The book title is good! The author tried to be innovative here but I couldn't find the exact relevance with the plot of the book. But the book is still ongoing so I can't be sure about it. (4/5)

━ COVER. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10Hoseok looks good but I do not like the bg, maybe making it different, a bit abstract! Otherwise, it is great...

ASG_JK - The cover is pretty fine but it could have been a little bit more creative and aesthetic. (8/10)

━ DESCRIPTION. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 8/10Blurb is nice and intriguing but again too much is given. I feel it is better if you give the soulbound series inside maybe? Again it is informative so it is appreciable too.

ASG_JK - The blurb was just up to the mark, absolutely perfect! It was enough to give an insight into the storyline to the reader and it was pretty impressive! (10/10)

━ PLOT. 20 pts.

dynamic_dream- 19/20Plot is good, this is the fourth time I am judging this book, so I have read this book a lot of times and it attracts me every time. It delves deep inside and has good build-up without any plot holes. I like the general plot as well for the fact how Hoseok slowly falls for her so it is nice!!

ASG_JK - The storyline was unique and creative. The soul bounded alternative universe was created with precise details which was a very good approach. It was something innovative and creative, unlike the mainstream romance books. I liked it. (18/20)

━ CHARACTER. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10 Character development is good, the main characters as well as the side ones, and what is good is that it has a perfect pace...

ASG_JK - I liked every character in this book. The way the author described each one of them is just great! But there wasn't any character development until now, but I believe the author will work on it in the upcoming chapters. (9/10)

━ WRITING STYLE. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10Writing style is good but sometimes the periods are too long which bore people... also usage of three dots looks a bit too much maybe reducing it by using other symbols!

ASG_JK - Okay the book is great but the only drawback here was the pace which I felt was very slow. The reader can get bored due to this, even though the plot and everything are good. Some things were unnecessary. It's a story and not a journal, so readers don't need every single detail of the character's routine. (8/10)

━ GRAMMAR & SPELLING. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 10/10I did not find any specific grammatical mistakes in the story and your vocabulary is good so no complaints in this part!!

ASG_JK - Grammar was perfect as well! There were only a few spelling mistakes and punctuation mistakes in some of the dialogues. (9/10)

━ SENSE AND EMOTIONS. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10It was good but descriptive writing of emotions should be improved and you are good!

ASG_JK - The emotions were being conveyed throughout the book. The author did an awesome work in this aspect. (9/10)

━ STRUCTURE. 5 pts.

dynamic_dream - 5/5Structure is proper, and thus no marks to be deducted. The building of the story is good and no holes are found.

ASG_JK - I don't have a complaint regarding this. (5/5)

━ IMPRESSION. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10I don't think any explanation is required... if the necessary changes are made, it will be better. Also, I enjoyed reading it, keep it up!!

ASG_JK - Overall, this is a nice piece of work. But a few things need to be rectified to keep the readers hooked to the book until the end. There is no need of providing unnecessary details about their daily lives and the pace of the story needs to increase a bit, it's going very slow for my liking. The plot is very creative, so the author should focus on these things more and it would turn out to be a great book! (9/10)

━ SUMMARY.

dynamic_dream - The story is really good and enjoyable to read with all the ups and downs properly described and extremely interesting! I think everyone should read this story as it is great, although you do have a lot of reads, I loved it :)

ASG_JK - The book was good but I have been judging this book for the 6th time now and yet, my view remains the same. I mentioned the weaknesses I spotted and I hope you'll be able to correct yourself and become a star like you are. All the best!

[ Justin_Seagull_31 ]

━ TITLE. 5 pts.

dynamic_dream - 5/5The title is a bit straightforward but it does match the good storyline!!

ASG_JK - The title is perfect for the story. (5/5)

━ COVER. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9.5/10Loved the edit extremely, but Hoseok's face was looking kinda distorted that is why it triggered me a bit...

ASG_JK - I personally don't exactly like the cover, however it is a beautiful one. It's just that, if I wear to select 1 best cover, your cover didn't catch that impression. (8/10)

━ DESCRIPTION. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 10/10I usually do not like long descriptions, but this one had just the perfect details and it successfully draws someone in.

ASG_JK - Perfect. You had faults in it when I judged it the first time and then after the second review in my shop, I see you have improved the best out of yourself. (10/10)

━ PLOT. 20 pts.

dynamic_dream- 19.5/20I have to agree, the plot idea is awesome, I will certainly not give it away, and also it has really good descriptions and unfolds in the storyline. Some holes are there but not too much and it is understandable.

ASG_JK - Your plot, a little twist of Greek mythology and modern-day beliefs is pretty unlikely. I had suspected the book in the story to be the reason and was pretty satisfied with how you showed the essence of it. The best and strongest part of the book. (18/20)

━ CHARACTER. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 8/10I think you need to change it a bit, your writing is a bit too straightforward, with facts after facts so maybe change it a bit by adding some nice description or emotion. But it is certainly enjoyable!!

ASG_JK - Great. Although I don't feel equal sympathy for our protago from Hobi, as much I get it from Joonie. Although it just might be only for the sake of the storyline, I'd like to see the chemistry between all characters a little more vividly. (8/10)

━ WRITING STYLE. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10There weren't any grammatical mistakes except a few typos so I hope 1 mark is just needed to be reduced.

ASG_JK - The writing style is surely the sole reason for the beautiful explanation. (8/10)

━ GRAMMAR & SPELLING. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10There weren't any grammatical mistakes except a few typos so I hope 1 mark is just needed to be reduced.

ASG_JK - Your grammar and vocabulary were ample for the story, hence I do not have a complaint against it. (9/10)

━ SENSE AND EMOTIONS. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10A better description is required, or else it does certainly make sense. Emotion needs more description, otherwise, it is all right.

ASG_JK - Good work. (10/10)

━ STRUCTURE. 5 pts.

dynamic_dream - 5/5The structure is well built with no holes in it...

ASG_JK - It's just as much I think is required although the book is still on its way to progress. I wouldn't advise a part two. Then it would lose the impact. (5/5)

━ IMPRESSION. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10If the necessary changes are made, it will make an even better impression!!

ASG_JK - Just the perfect book to read on Hobi if you're bored. (9/10)

━ SUMMARY.

dynamic_dream - So, the story is basically about Greek Gods and Goddesses which gives a nice, vintage-y vibe and also the history is well portrayed, if the changes are made, then I am sure that everyone should give it a chance!! hwaiting...

ASG_JK - I have seen such books previously but the idea is good. There are many books where they fight a dragon, where they're a god, where they have stones; but this is a combination of all and I sincerely hope to see it flourish the way it started. All the best

[ Juliander2 ]

━ TITLE. 5 pts.

dynamic_dream - 5/5The title is just so perfect for the story, it attracts readers and makes people curious to know more about it, it has the meaning of radiant and bright like Hobi which is good too!!

ASG_JK - Beautiful. Just as much I expected it to be. (5/5)

━ COVER. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 10/10If a cover is made by @Ana_2504 it is bound to be good, I love it, I like the contrasts in the picture and the writing is perfect too!!

ASG_JK - The cover perfectly matches the aesthetic of the book and honestly would attract romance lovers.Its minimalism feels fresh and I don't find anything wrong with it. It's beautiful. But it could be better. (9/10)

━ DESCRIPTION. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9/10Even though it is a bit too long, it is really interesting and attracts the readers, I also like how precise it is, just enough to get someone indulged in the story.

ASG_JK - I've read several books throughout my life, but not many books can summarise a romance story in some words without revealing much.This is appreciated for your case as I could predict the story yet not tell the story.Good job. (10/10)

━ PLOT. 20 pts.

dynamic_dream- 20/20The plot is amazing, it starts slow but it takes a nice pace, with proper turns and I am in love with the twist, god it was amajin, I like how you gave bts references!!

ASG_JK - It's a simple love story of a barista artistically, with some twists and turns and of course, obstacles; which is, however, a very mainstream plot.Yes, it was minimalistic and I can claim that to be a plus point and not that all stories have to be fantasy-based. (17/20)

━ CHARACTER. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 10/10I am in love with our protagonist, she is like she is so cool, I love how relatable she is, I also love how it matches Hobi and it feels great to see how steady the development is.

ASG_JK - The characters were just perfect. And I love Fin! (10/10)

━ WRITING STYLE. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 10/10I AM IN LOVE, CAN I MARRY IT? I mean the descriptive writing is just the perfect amount, not too less, not too much and how it gives a particular vibe to the story, I also love how it just makes me feel like I am reading a book by my favourite author, Arundhati Roy!!

ASG_JK - Just the perfect. (10/10)

━ GRAMMAR & SPELLING. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 9.5/10Some typos were there, but no mistakes apart from that, and also it doesn't break the flow of the story, vocabulary is absolutely beautiful!!

ASG_JK - Your vocabulary is a feast to grammar people like me. I love your way of explaining things. Splendid.(10/10)

━ SENSE AND EMOTIONS. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 10/10As I said before, I love your writing style, and thus I love how it portrays every emotion and I can feel it...

ASG_JK - In love. Language explains emotions better and I enjoyed every bit of the book. (10/10)

━ STRUCTURE. 5 pts.

dynamic_dream - 5/5The structure is built good with proper breaks and skips, so no complaints at all!!

ASG_JK - No complaints! (5/5)

━ IMPRESSION. 10 pts.

dynamic_dream - 10/10I enjoyed reading the story, I loved how it went, the flows were so good.

ASG_JK - "I love it" would be too less to say. (9/10)

━ SUMMARY.

dynamic_dream - I love the AU, and I love how you present it, I love your writing style, and there's not much to say I guess, except that I probably want to be Finley. Okay, jokes apart, I love the book!! This is like the 6th or 7th time I am judging your book, so I have never been able to read it like a proper reader which I am going to right after my exams, and spam you with comments!! But every time I judge it, it just feels like I fall in love more with the story!! Hwaiting... :)

ASG_JK - It deserves more attention. I am not a fan of the genre but this was just the perfect book to read in wintry weather with some coffee!
