Let's get into it!

☁first impressions (21.5/25): I love the color scheme of the cover! It's so bright and inviting, and definitely makes me want to read the book. I also love how all of BTS is on there, because people can easily tell it's going to be an OT7 book. However, I think the font, while the perfect color, can be different to make it seem more easy on the eyes. Something more standard will do, in my opinion. Going onto the title, I don't think I've ever seen it on wattpad, nor in the BTS fandom, so huge props to you for coming up with such a unique name to go along with your book! Lastly, the description is the perfect length, though I think it can be slightly edited. I feel like the opening line could have a few more sentences to lead us in a little more smoothly, (which also includes the whole 'if you had the chance to encounter BTS' part at the end) then go onto a one-liner quote that hooks the readers in. This way, it doesn't seem disorganized and readers are more keen to see what's going to happen with your book.

☁grammar & sentence structure (11/15): There are some grammar mistakes that stood out to me, like some lack of punctuation within quotations, but most of it was really great. There were also some misplaced commas (placed where not needed a lot of times) that you could fix with a light copy edit. The sentence structure is simple oftentimes, and I feel like you could utilize more complex/compound sentences to really round out your prose and make it seem more coherent. There isn't really much more to say here, so let's go to the next part!

☁plot (26/30): I really liked the intro to the book, in which they explained why BTS is in random places to meet Y/N, so that they have an excuse to do that. It made a lot of sense, and I was genuinely excited to see what was going to happen! I also LOVE the concept of having different options for the scenarios that you can participate in. If you're more of a Jin stan, you can go straight to his door instead of going through all of it if you don't want to. It's such a creative format to a book that I've only seen once during these reviews (with Treasure Cafe), and it blows me away! However, this format also comes with cons, and one of those cons is the constraints that it places on the mini storylines. I feel like these are basically a compilation of one-shots, so the pacing is a little off from if it were perceived as a normal book. I almost wish there was a wrap up at the end where they come back to the BigHit headquarters and describe their vacations and such. I think it would be a better ending than simply having the last chapter of a one-shot. Going into detail with the actual plot of each one-shot, they were pretty simplistic and easy to follow by design. They're good for the medium, so this is great for those who want a quick, non-committal read for whenever they're in a rush!

☁characters (16/20): I thought you did a really great job portraying the characteristics of each BTS member and how they interact with Y/N. However, I found myself having to suspend my disbelief for a few interactions, though, as they acted a little too friendly/un-wary of Y/N for my liking. Also, I wasn't sure if this was me being dumb, but did you forego the whole "Y/N" concept near the end for actual names, like Erika and Iris? If so, could you maybe put real names in for every one-shot, or make it all consistently Y/N? I've said this in other reviews, but to me, Y/N stuff kind of weakens the plot in general, because when seeing that, my mind shuts off immediately. This is a personal preference, though, so you can do whatever you want! The MC girl was pretty passive in all of the storylines by design, and I can see why you did that. Overall, they fit their purpose, as did the MC, but I would have liked to see a little more characterization of the characters so that I could feel the stakes in each situation and follow the rising action much more closely.

☁writing style (17/20): Your writing style is simple and straight to the point like many one-shot writing styles are. It's a more contemporary style that I see in a lot of books, but you seem to pull it off fairly well. It doesn't pause on unnecessary things, which can really help for moving the story along in such a small constraint of time/space. I also noticed that it's kind of conversational, and that can help readers feel at ease with your story. However, I think you can afford to linger on some details during the story lines to make the reader feel much more invested in them. The bolded dialogue is a nice touch to let it stand out, but I believe you can afford to take those out if you want to have a more coherent feel to your prose. It's a little jarring to those who are classic readers and aren't used to that type of style, as it's not the default. At this point, I'm really just nitpicking, but you're doing a good job, so keep at it!

☁flow (8/10): I really liked your chapter lengths and paragraph lengths. I never felt like I was reading too much at a time, and the paragraph lengths never suffocated me like some books do. However, there are a few things I'd like to talk about with you. Firstly, the author's notes within the text. I can't help but feel like I'm being taken out of the story each time you put those, which are scattered throughout the prose at random times. I'm not sure if this counts as flow, but I'm going to put this here. I feel like the varying fonts when it comes to the chapter titles kind of make me confused and disoriented when trying to go through it. I really like the creativity with the "doors", but maybe make it more simple so that people aren't so thrown off? I also thought that the character introductions to each member slowed down the story a lot, and you could make do without them.

☁total score: 99.5/120 or 82.9%!

Tubular!

☁optional advice nook: change cover font, edit description to make it more smooth, light copy edit for grammar and complex/compound sentences, take out Y/N or keep Y/N in all of the one-shots, put more details to smooth out flow/prose/storylines, think about how real people act when it comes to characterization so that the storylines can progress in a logical manner.

☁song nook: Here are some songs I thought of while reading this! I got a really cute, fluffy, feel-good vibe to this book, and it really reminded me of summer nostalgia (I hope you know what that feels like lol), so I hope you like these!

♔Magic Shop by BTS♔
(obviously, who COULDN'T include this?)

♔Fool by BØRNS♔

♔Daisy by Zedd♔

♔One Afternoon by Girl's Generation♔
(this reminded me of Namjoon and Y/N's library scene)

☁summary: I really LOVED the one-shot type story that you wrote and how creatively it was laid out. It was cute and I felt myself going "aww" at a lot of moments. With a little more polishing around the edges, I believe this could be a perfect book for anyone who needs a quick read, or even for those who want to sit and binge the whole thing!

Aaaand... that's it for the review! Comments, questions, concerns, please let me know. I'm super sorry this review took so long. I was a little busy with other stuff, so I'm very sorry if this review feels a little off to you. I promise to get back into the game ASAP!
