Characters: The main character Evalily was written so well, I could picture her and her personality nearly perfectly. From just the first few paragraphs, I was able to work out that she was a curious, independent minded person with the perfect amount of sass.

Grammar: The grammar and punctuation was practically perfect. I couldn't fault it. It was edited perfectly and the finished product is the standard you would read in proper published books, which obviously made the book so much nicer to read.

Plot: The plot has been set out and told in a way that always kept me on the edge of my seat, eager for every single sentence. The plot is a very unique and interesting plot which keeps the reader engaged throughout each chapter.

Enjoyment: From the very first sentence, this book was exciting and very enjoyable. Because of its engaging plot, it just made me want to keep reading, it was hard to put down. I can't wait to keep reading.

Overall: This is a very well written story with an exciting plot from the second the story opens. With it's perfectly detailed scenes and characters, it is a real page turner that definitely deserves a lot more recognition.

Novaria - No_Haven

Characters: Most characters are written well with enough detail to know the character within the first two chapters of introducing them. All characters fit into the "Novaria" science fiction world perfectly and all have important roles within the story.

Grammar: Grammar and punctuation is very good with only a few mistakes here and there. Good vocabulary is used to create more excitement and interest.

Plot: The story jumps straight into action with just the perfect amount of calmness at the start to get a feel for the main character. The plot is engaging the whole way through with no unnecessary parts to confuse the reader. Cliffhangers are used perfectly to keep readers engaged and excited for the next chapter. However, more detail on the setting and environment would make the story much better. The story has an exciting plot that is perfect for the sci-fi genre.

Enjoyment: I really enjoyed this story has it really embraces the nature of a science fiction novel with its continuous action and excitement with of course the growing romance between characters. It has an enjoyable and engaging plot that will only get better throughout the remainder of the book.

Overall: It was written well with an engaging plot and good detail for characters. With few grammatical mistakes, the story flows mostly pretty well and gives off that sci-fi vibe of a technological world.

The Brain Bastard - undefinedfiction

Characters:The characters roles are clear with an obvious protagonist and antagonist that is thrillingly evil and ambitious. The characters are simple and easy to understand and empathise with yet lack some detail on appearance of characters and development.

Grammar: There are quite a few mistakes in punctuation mainly which sometimes affects sentences and sometimes doesn't. However spelling is pretty good.

Plot: The plot had good direction and was very interesting. It seemed like the author had done a lot of research or had a lot of medical knowledge as the information in the surgery scene was incredible. The start was a bit slow and really started getting interesting about 4 or 5 chapters in.

Enjoyment: There were certain scenes that I really enjoyed because there was the perfect amount of detail to help understand but there is also a few scenes that are a bit slow and easy to get distracted in. The plot idea is a very interesting one which I think will become more and more exciting throughout the story.

Overall: The plot idea is an engaging one which can be improved even more by editing of grammar and perhaps more detail so the readers can picture the scenery and characters better. This is a story with potential that you need to stick with to get to the really interesting and exciting parts.

Beginning of an End - Jelmo03

Characters: The main character Jake so far is a very likeable character with his young, innocent mindset. His character is nicely described, as is his personality. Other characters such as Grace and Matt are a little harder to catch onto what they are like and if they are likeable or not yet.

Grammar: Grammar is mostly good but there are quite a few mistakes involving spelling mostly which can confuse the story a bit.

Plot: Plot can come across as a little confusing or overwhelming at times but as I believe that may be the idea, I think this is good. I'm still unsure of where the story will be heading after reading the first eight chapters which could possibly cause loss of interest or even more engagement, depends on the person.

Enjoyment: I found myself getting a bit lost in a few of the chapters but the endings of each chapter are very good which always leads me back in to be excited for the next chapter. I enjoyed most parts however, I think it may be a bit slow getting into the plot, longer chapters with more details may improve this.

Overall: The story is a confusing yet exciting story that really keeps you on the edge of your seat. The whole book improves through each chapter making the book more exciting the deeper you get into it.

The Codenza Platform - lucaelum

Characters: The main characters have been well written and throughout the chapters have been more and more developed but still lack a little detail on personality and background. Characters such as Aria need more detail in the beginning as to who she is, what she is like and more information as to why Noah and her are rivals.

Grammar: Grammar throughout this story is very good. There are little to no mistakes in terms of spelling. Punctuation is mostly good, with just a few missing commas in some sentences. Some paragraphs are a bit too long which can cause the paragraphs to become confusing and cause the readers to get lost.

Plot: The overall plot of the story is very appealing and keeps the reader engaged. Plot growth is straight to the point and interesting with no unnecessary details to get confused with. Some chapters are a bit short on detail though.

Enjoyment: This story was easy to read and mostly easy to understand and because of this I enjoyed it. With some chapters length increased and more detail in character development this story would be much more enjoyable.

Overall: The idea of the story is very good and engaging and fits under the science fiction category perfectly. It's an interesting plot that just lacks a little bit of detail that the reader needs to fully understand whats happening. Good use of cliffhangers. Grammar and punctuation provides the story to mostly flow nicely. Most chapters start of written really well but become confusing by the end of the chapters.

Stolen Souls - hedwigsbeak

Characters: The protagonist is quite good, though her emotions could be described more. Other characters' moods fluctuate a bit too much.

Grammar: The grammar used is fine. Apart from a few typing mistakes, there weren't any major grammatical errors. However, I would have liked to see a bit more of vocabulary.

Plot: The plot, though slightly overused, is very well thought out and easily captures the reader's interest. It makes one want to know more about the world described in the book.

Enjoyment: I'm really enjoying the book. Though the chapters are a bit short, they are descriptive as desired.

Overall: I would rate this book a 7. The rating goes to the interesting and informative plot, and could be increased by more character development.

And Then He Fell - evergreenity

Characters: The characters all have a significance in the story, which I am quite satisfied with. But I would have liked the main characters to show weaknesses at least sometimes.

Grammar: The vocabulary used is quite good. However, the author needs to cut down on the size of paragraphs and break very large paragraphs into smaller ones.

Plot: The plot is really good and well thought out. After reading the book, I did feel as if some of the gadgets were not very original, but it did make me wish that they were real.

Enjoyment: The story is really enjoyable. Except for a few points in the books, whose problems I pointed out above, it is fun to read the book and the plot which the author has thought out.

Overall: I would rate this story a 7. Better ratings could be obtained by just a bit more character development and by some improvement in grammar.

Between Water And Sky - letusfallup 

Characters: Linus, the protagonist, is one of the best I have read on Wattpad so far. What I like the most is that the emotions that the characters experience are quite relatable and that every reader will love them.

Grammar: Apart from an occasional spelling error in the first couple of chapters, the grammar in the book was quite good. The vocabulary used is amazing.

Plot: The plot, though a bit not understandable at the start of each chapter, unravels at the right pace. The author has clearly planned out her story properly.

Enjoyment: The book is gripping and certainly very enjoyable, though the length of the chapter makes you want to check how much more is left.

Overall: This is an amazing book and I would rate it a 9. However, the summary and cover do not do justice to the story. The book would get many more reads and votes if the summary is tweaked a bit.

The Girl From The Stars - pretty_reader_

Characters: The characters are okay. There not much character development in the book, but the author sure describes them well. The protagonist is a bit too cliché.

Grammar: The grammar used is quite good; the author knows her spellings well. However, I would have liked to see a bit more of Vocabulary.

Plot: Unfortunately, I couldn't know much of the plot as too many chapters have been wasted on unimportant scenes. The only progress in the plot was of the protagonist's relationship with Bryan, who I presume to be her love interest.

Enjoyment: The chapters are definitely enjoyable and chirpy. However, as I said earlier, I would like to see more plot related chapters in the book.

Overall: I would probably rate this book a 6- above average. The good grammar and the way that the author manages to deliver acceptable chapters are to be credited for this rating.

Ashen - Elspeth_Reid 

Characters: I just love the protagonist! When there was an outbreak of some mind-boggling 'psychological' problem, the assumption was that the protagonist would get the same. The twist that she went blind was just unexpected.

Grammar: The grammar is quite good as well. Awesome vocabulary and rarity of typos makes this a satisfying read.

Plot: The plot is great. No one would have thought it up as good as the author did. It makes me want to actually live in a world like the one described.

Enjoyment: I am enjoying the book throughout. It's amazing how one person can think up of these things.

Overall: Just a bit more description and the story could have gotten an even better score than the 9 I think fits it.

Sanctuary's Aggression: The Infected - MairaDawn 

This book was written so beautifully and with such an intense urgency that had me rushing for more. I read way past the amount of chapters I was required to.

Your writing style is something else. It flows so well and really captures the characters and their personalities. I thoroughly enjoyed ready Sanctuary's Aggression. Just a couple of things to look out for is your spelling. I noticed that Skye was spelt with an 'e' majority of the time, but there were quite a few cases of it being written as just 'Sky'. This also happened with Jesse sometimes being spelt with an 'i' as Jessie. This isn't an overly huge problem, just something I would recommend going back and checking over :) With a quick read-over, some of these simple mistakes can be straightened out and your book will be amazing.

I especially loved how you started it off with an explanation of rabies and then threw me straight into the action. It made it seem all the more real and frightening! Then you take the readers back, letting us get to know the characters. Very good job!! It was definitely a blessing to judge your book and I look forward to reading more in the future ;)

Lost In The Echo - Tegan1311 

Wow. I have no words. Your book is just amazing! It was basically perfect! I can find next to no fault except for the occasional misspelt word. However, there isn't enough spelling errors for me to give you a 9/10 on Grammar and Punctuation. You characters are amazing and beautifully described. You weave such a raw emotion into your words and descriptions that is so rare. It's hard to find books as good as this on Wattpad. Your plot, whilst taking on factors from other stories, is extremely unique and refreshing to read. I love finding those rare gems that have a plot that isn't exactly the same as the latest best-seller. Your first chapter was phenomenal. There is nothing to complain about.

I look forward to reading the rest of this book, even after my judging is over!

Ascension: Birthright - mountainlion2

This is a great story idea and I can say, in all honesty, that I did enjoy reading it. The only problem I had was that your first chapter felt like it should be the fourth or fifth. It kind of just threw us into a scene and we had no idea what was happening. Maybe add a little introduction to each of the characters. Help the reader get to know them. I also noticed some sentences that were awfully long. Maybe add some commas to let the reader take a breath and help with the confusion. After that though, it did get pretty interesting and it definitely seems as though it's going to progress nicely. I would also suggest re-reading your summary as it feels kind of rushed and is somewhat confusing. Don't forget to show us the story as if it were a movie instead of just telling it to us :)

Overall, this is a great book. It just needs a bit of editing and care. Good work!

Deep Cosmos - ProjectKyle

You have created such a mysterious atmosphere in the first chapter alone. I especially love how the time zone was called 'Earth Date'. It started the chapter off with intrigue and mystery.

I did notice, however, quite a lot of grammatical errors. For example, there were several occasions in which Dr Crimson's name wasn't capitalised. We missed a few apostrophes and there were also numerous unnecessary exclamation points, making me yell the sentence in my head when I really didn't need to.

Another small thing is that I really don't have much of an idea as to what the scenery is like. It never hurts to add a little description in there! Paint a picture with your words for me. Help me see what you're seeing as you write this down.

Apart from these small things, the story-line of this book was very interesting and fun to read. I look forward to reading the rest and finding out all the answers to the questions I have! Great work! You've really done a good job :)

The Disappearances - Olympia_Moon

You have a very interesting plot line and great characters! Reading your book, I got a real sense of who the characters were and what they were like personality wise. You did a great job a creating them :)

However there is one thing. Try and give us more description. Put yourself in the character's shoes and tell us what you see, what you feel. What are they thinking? How would they react? Are they scared? Describe the intense fear that is twisting their gut into countless knots. Help us see what they see and feel what they feel. You want your readers to become attached to the characters not just because they like them, but because they feel them. They relate to them.

Your book, however, was a great read and I am extremely glad it was given to me to judge. Good job and keep up the amazing work! :)

The Last Survivor - ElvenWizard221 

Plot-The plot of your book is amazing and I really liked it.

Characters- There isn't much about the other characters except for Duncan (because there was only five or six chapters updated) and Tim's death was unexpected but I liked how afterwards you wrote about Duncan being the last survivor. However I can't wait to read more about the boy and his mother (if they are even part of the main characters)

Grammer- it's good and not cringy but you can work a bit on it and on the flow of your story because one, two parts do seem a little rushed.

Enjoyment- I won't lie, I enjoyed your book

Overall- Can't wait to read the next few chapters

Within The Mind - mbmitchell

Characters- unpredictable, very different and I love Grey's character from all.

Grammar- not cringy at all, your grammar is very good. 

Plot- unique and loved your concept.

Enjoyment- could not put your book down, I just wanted to know more and more.

Overall- I loved your book and can't wait to catch up on the rest of the chapters.

The Bachelor King #22: Beginning Pangs of Distress - SpinyKyverna

Characters- I love their uniqueness and their interactions amongst each other.

Grammer- I could picture what you wrote in each scene so yeah hats off to you over there. Plot- it's amazing and not one dimensional

Enjoyment- On a level of 100 percent

Overall- I like your plot and your book is amongst one of the greatest I've seen on Wattpad.

The Aftermath - amlode

Characters: are quite enjoyable especially with the growing conflict between them.

Grammer: proper use of grammer but can be smoothed out a little. Plot: very interesting and had me hooked on.

Enjoyment: really enjoyed reading your book.

Overall: The Aftermath is among one of the most excellent books I have come across on Wattpad.
