Second Place —
One After Another by mystva1ani0

Judge: fleurdiary

TOTAL: 82/100

Cover: 5/10 (could be better, perhaps a bit scarier and gorey.)

Title and blurb: 7/10 (the title is apt and fits the story. blurb is nice and short but I found a few punctuation errors which can be easily corrected.)

Plot: 29/30 (the plot kinda reminds me of the movie fear street but of course it's different from that movie. In the first chapter, the author described the protagonist's appearance quite well. No plot hole was found and it's impressive. Not too complex words were used which makes it easier to understand the story and the description was so good, I could imagine the intense scene so well.)

Flow: 8/10 (the story was a bit fast-paced as everything started to happen so suddenly. But the twist, in the end, was unexpected.)

Character development: 13/15 protagonist was quite relatable and at first she didn't want to make friends, she appeared to be cold-hearted and later it was revealed it was due to her past and that she is actually caring. She is quite analytical and pretty brave as well. There were vague details about the secondary characters and it's fine.

Anticipation: 8/10 each and every chapter ended with a cliffhanger.

Enjoyment: 10/10 (I love love reading it so much, I kept scrolling the chapters and I'm eagerly waiting for the final chapter and the ending. Indeed, it kept me hooked.)

Language: 2/5 (grammatical errors were here and there but you can edit it with someone's help and polish your book so it would attract the readers more. Try not to use "..." too much and adding more fancy words will enhance your book.)

Comments by fleurdiary:
You have a plain and simple cover, so half marks were given. The blurb is fine, but not quite so about the title, as can be seen it is actually too long– either name it Operation Armageddon or 128. Plot-wise, it was not really an orginal plot strictly speaking, but flow is in accurate pace. Realistic characters which are flawed and relatable. An unexpected ending at every chapter makes me hooked. A good choice for all the apocalypse lovers. There are minor grammatical errors here and there.
