Book : Letters

Author : soyoung_kookie

Description: 2/5 
There are some clear errors that caught my eye directly at first glance, but it is always great to start a review on a positive note, so let us get to that first! I love your approach to the blurb's opening, by not diving right into the topic, you provided the readers with a clearer and more creative way to connect with the plot. Vocabulary wise, I was thoroughly impressed with the play of words, how it inclines from an understandable context to a rather cut-short ending.

♡ ERROR #1
Let's take a look at the minor mistakes such as how you capitalised true when it is clearly not a proper noun.

♡ ERROR#2
Be careful of these three dots (...) or better known as ellipsis, it is only considered an ellipsis when there are three dots beside each other.

♡ ERROR#3
The last sentence is asking a question to the readers, therefore it should be followed by a question mark. Also, is does not need to be capitalized since there is no period before it.

♡ SUGGESTION #1
I know that grammar is every writer's nemesis. Studying and trying to absorb the complicated materials and applying it into a real-world text is tough. 

Cover: 1/5 
The cover does not do the book any justice, I know you are going for those aesthetically pleasing effects with the torned paper but as a graphic designer myself, this cover is far from perfect. Starting off with a picture of Jungkook that has nothing to do with letters nor writing, and the rough transition/attempt to merge the two backgrounds together results in it being unprofessional. 

♡ SUGGESTION #1
My suggestion would be to change the cover entirely, and replace it with a picture of Jungkook writing, would fit more.

Title: ⅖
Between the title and the book there is a clear bond since it literally means letters, but the problem is that the title "Letters" is far from unique. Other than that, it did not raise any interest from me when I first came across it. There are many other words that could make a better fit. Try by searching on the internet for words that are rarely used to replace it.

First impression: 2/5
I am not trying to say that the first impression is the only thing that matters-- it does, alongside many other parts that need to be incorporated into a lovely presentation to the readers. Your plot and general content excluding the first impression is so much better! All you need to do is make the first three components( title, blurb and book cover) striking enough to lead the audience into continuing their journey. 

Readers Interaction: 3/5
Please do not let the amount of reads and votes discourage you, believe it or not famous authors start from 0 too. The process of getting your book recognized is not easy at all, gathering a large amount of people to stay active and vote while reading is even harder. Again, just keep working hard and improving!!

Story plot: 12/15
This seemed very familiar to me, I have encountered, and read a couple of books( I have written one myself) that deal and revolve around mysterious notes and letters. It sounds rather cliche with the "falling in love with a mysterious admirer" essence included as a major part in the story. To stand out amongst others should be one of the main goals, but I would not say having a little similarity does your book any harm. Given that this is a short story, trying to stuff a complex plot line would also sound almost impossible.

♡ SUGGESTION #1
If you wish to write another book( which you should totally go for!) try to think outside of the box. Step out of a boundary and envision a plot unlike anything you have ever seen. Say you get inspired by a ground-breaking book you just read or a movie you absolutely loved, take it as the basic foundation but do not steal it, instead add your unique style into it. Create events, twists that could make it different yet interesting to follow.

Plot twist: 3/10 
The plot twist is supposed to be the sender's identity reveal, how you easily gave Jieun a chapter of her own not even near the ending and ruin the whole build up is a disappointment to say the least. Not only was the plot twist expected, it was also disclosed way too early, and got rid of the excitement to uncover the truth. Hear me out, you may ask, why are these twists even important? Well, as I have said before, keeping a large audience to continuously follow the story instead of leaving it mid-way, you need a little something to perk their interest This is where the plot twist comes into the rescue, you may have noticed that there might be a change in the atmosphere a few chapters before a twist ia dropped. It is a hint for all the readers that would make them question and cannot wait for more!

Grammar: 6/10
Some of the tenses here are mixed, with most being past and some verbs still in the present form. Please avoid adding too many punctuations after a sentence, it gives the impression that the text is informal when it is clearly targeted as a book to read. The dialogues are something I just can't bear to read, because the plot itself is already cliche, with the overexaggerated punctuation marks and unclear portrayal of each character. There are also some words that need an apostrophe which you probably missed. Some capitalization errors too, especially in proper nouns like names, and place. Last thing I want to add here is the transition from one scene/time to another.

♡ SUGGESTION#1
Most wattpad authors would prefer using dividers or emojis to separate the two sections. I recommend doing this to help the readers understand the story's flow. Most of the time, the scene does not have to change at all, you can  do this by describing more rather than simply leaving a sign describing the characters' location.

Emotions and Feel: 2/10
My fingers just simply schemed through the text, but my heart felt absolutely nothing. This is due to the lack of description and specification of each characters' own special personality. Even for Jungkook himself, the only thing I got from him was that he was hard working but other than that I was confused by how vague it was. The story might be more centered around Jungkook, although you need to shed more light on Jieun to explain what she is like in real life rather than having Jimin brought up out of the blue. 

Character development: 6/10
I would say that this contained more of a relationship development compared to a character development. As the characters lack personality in the first place, trying to pinpoint and follow their development throughout the course of the story becomes harder. 

♡ SUGGESTION #1
For Jieun personally, I would advise adding a chapter really showing how Jungkook changed her. How she went from becoming an arrogant girl to a more understanding one because of him. Since Jieun is the best option for a character that could undergo a change. 

Way of writing: 7/10

There is definitely a potential in you, it is not yet showcased in this story's writing though. You seemed to have refrained yourself from giving out more, when in reality there were some parts that described a scene perfectly. There was a majority of vocabulary/words you would find in other masterpieces on the platform.  These were also the only times I was experiencing a mix of emotions. The dialogues are definitely something to keep in mind, it seemed to have ruined everything when it was written in such an informal way. 

Overall: 4/10 
You have a long way to go but that does not mean giving up, as I said before your writing has a potential. Just continue nurturing it. "Letter" was an underwhelming book, although I do believe that you would come up with more creations in the near future. Lastly, thank you for choosing me as your reviewer and I hope my review can help you as a fellow writer!!

Total: 48/100
