Cover: In my opinion, I think you need to brighten your cover. Now, when I say brighten, I don't literally mean go in there and add a few flowers. Simply, make the light of it brighter because it looks a bit dull. Other than that, your cover just does not grab my eye. I see a cute looking vector male sitting in front of crime scene tape, with a barely visible but still visible title. In general, I personally just don't like it. If you feel it still fits well with your book, then keep it, but it you're feeling a little hesistant go to a graphic designer.

(I saw the edited cover, and I really like it! It shows both characters and I can see a hint of an ambulance truck in the background. The background is "bright" in a sense and I enjoy this edited version of  your cover.)

(I saw the third cover and while it does portray Kim Haneul, I preferred the one previous to it.)

Title(5/5): Congrats! Your book comes up first when searched! When I see your title, I'm imagining your main character being punched and then covering it up with bandaids. Quite literal of me, I know. Not much comes to mind when I see it, but it is different which makes it interesting.

Blurb(9/10): I enjoy how your blurb starts off with this gripping line: 'Legal during the day, illegal at night.' It introduces the two main characters, Kim Haneul and the ever-sounding mysterious Black Ace. I was actually a bit confused by the description 'electric blue hair' until I realized you meant Kim, the male on the cover.

Spelling/Grammar(15/15): Your spelling and grammar was pretty good, so I don't have anything to say on it! The most I can advice you on is to always go back, and re-read to make sure that each sentence links together like small pieces of a puzzle. This idea applies to your paragraphs and your story as a whole.

Creativity/Originality(19/20): I honestly thought the whole idea of your book was interesting. A doctor who is risking his job to help others in an underground fighting ring. I also like how you first protrayed his character by taking that little boy to see his father even though he shouldn't have. This already lets readers know that he's a kind and caring person.

Plot(23/25): I liked how your plot didn't fall too much into mafia. Usually, (in some books) when there's underground fighting involved, the book tends to become mafia related. Dae Ho and Haneul's relationship isn't sexual and I liked how you took baby steps and let them slowly open up to each other. Regarding any corrections, I don't really have any. The most I can tell you is to try and keep it interesting. I'm not telling you to add some sort of major plot twist, but create different situations that shows the characters growing and having their down-to-the-floor moments.

Reader Enjoyment(25/25): I truly enjoyed your book! It was different from most bxb books. Dae Ho is relatable to a lot of people. We all bottle up our pain and I enjoyed reading Hanuel being a shoulder of support to him. Your book was one that I liked reading. Keep up the good work!
