Tuesday, March 29, 2011 @ 7:00 PM Hana. Deul. Set. by xSHINeeGirl. Reviewer: iamaninjadude @ Lemon Swirls. Note: Author should know that I do not know her and vice versa. I, the reviewer, have nothing against the author. If you find the comments too harsh or mean, sorry but I'm just doing this to improve your skills for future stories. Thank you for requesting in Lemon Swirls. Title: 4/5 - The title did make a clear connection with the leads' relationship. I've kind of noticed that when something is bound to happen between Woohyun and Min Hee, she counts one to three, then the spark happens. I find it really creative and clever, I loved how the connection was simple yet kind of interesting. I likey. I could have given you a five if the story was completed when I've reviewed it. Introduction: 9/10 - It wouldn't be fair if I review your story that has no introduction, so I'll base it on the teaser that you've provided, which was absolutely amazing I must say. Although I was expecting maybe a preview or an introduction of characters and how they would act, but your teaser was still good. Appearance: 5/5 - The poster looks good but the girl character looks a little weird, I don't know if it's just me. The colors aren't too strong nor too weak. I love it! I see no reason why I shouldn't give you a five, so I'll give you a five out of five. Flow and Writing Style: 21/25 - I think the progress was a little slow. You're already on chapter 10 yet nothing exciting was posted yet. I love your writing style though, and how descriptive you were. I was able to absorb the story idea really easily and pretty quick. You didn't go around the bush or left clues for us to figure out something, you were straightforward and because of that it was really easy to understand and enjoy your story. I love it. The only problem is the speed of your story. Plot: 12/15 - It's quite cliche yet with a unique twist on the side. I don't know, it's like I've read this story tons of times in the past but there's something about that makes it different. From the chapters that I've read, I don't think there's a flaw at all - in fact it's just getting better and more interesting. I want to point out the 'spark' factors in your story (I don't really know what it's called). My favorite part is when Woohyun was feeding Min Hee; it made me squeal like a fangirl watching her Korean dramas. I also liked the part when Woohyun and Min Hee just naturally got along even though Min Hee was still kind of pissed off about their past. Well I liked a lot of parts in the stories so keep it up! Originality: 7/10 - The ideas you've added are quite cliche; best friends, high school, girl and boy teasing each other everytime. I think the only original component in your story is how Woohyun already had a girlfriend in the beginning, but now something came up breaking them apart, it's kind of like a chance for Woohyun and Min Hee to get together. Grammar/Punctuation/Spelling: 11/15 - There are problems with how you forget using punctuations. Remember, they're always important. “Min Hee, come here, I’ll help you” (end it with a period or an exclamation point) “All better now Min Hee. See? I told you I would always protect you” (end it with a period) Also, the use of ellipsis. “Let’s go…..” Instead of five periods like what you've used, you only use three (ellipsis). And capitalization. You only capitalize the first letter of the word if it's a proper noun or the first word of the sentence. Know how to end the sentence too, or else it will be too complex. And the comma is always inside the quotation marks. “Min Hee, Let’s play this one”, Yoo Eun says as she drags me into the arcade, she quickly skips over to two fake motorcycles and pats the seat. ("Min Hee, let's play this one," Yoo Eun says as she drags me into the arcade. She quickly skips over to two fake motorcycles and pats the seat.) “Ne, she’s been my girlfriend for about 2 years now”, Woohyun says proudly as he grins. (“Ne, she’s been my girlfriend for about 2 years now,” Woohyun says proudly as he grins.) Determine what tense you're working with. If it's present tense then make sure all the verbs are in present tense. If it's past, then past. "AH, No, ok, I'll let go", Woohyun faked out a cry and fell backwards into the bench. He burst out laughing and sat up. ("AH, no, okay, I'll let go," Woohyun faked out a cry and fell backwards on the bench. He bursted out laughing and sat up.) I wouldn't deduct that much points because some writers are worse, believe me. I suggest you ask a friend to beta-read it for you because if you do it yourself, your brain will tell you it makes sense but if someone else's brain reads it, it can help you bigtime. Characterization: 7/10 - I'm having a problem with the pairings in this story; maybe it's just me. I'm kind of more interested with the secondary couple (Sungyeul and Yoo Eun) than the main characters, Min Hee and Woohyun. I don't know why but yeah, maybe I got tired of dramas and cliche conflicts. I like the thing going on between Woohyun and Min Hee though, a bit, I hope everything turns out fine with the both of them. Overall Enjoyment: 4/5 - I enjoyed reading it, every chapter was quite interesting in its own way. There's so much things that I've predicted that might happen, like Woohyun and Min Hee won't end up together because Woohyun loves his girlfriend Yu Kyung and Min Hee will somehow end up with Sungyeul, or Woohyun and Min Hee will end up together and live happily ever after. I just wish you update soon. I'll remind myself to join this forum so I could be updated with your story :) Total: 76/100 |
