1) Humdard by RekhaMittal

Cover : 5/5
The cover is beautiful and it shows the exact scene of the story and we know that it definitely is going to leave us wanting for more. 

Title : 5/5
The theme and the title fit in the story well, the dialogue and the song add more precision making justice to the title so great job 

Description/Blurb :3 /5 
You don't get a proper idea of the story when you read the blurb, it's very very vague and the reader will not understand anything except that the story is set in a sad situation 

Length : 8/10
I think the story is a bit too long especially the conversation between Veena, Rajesh and Anurag seemed to be a lot longer than actually required. It could have been shortened. 

Plot :  8/10
The plot is inspired from Kasauti and is a fanfiction one shot based on it. So half of it is what we already know, your improvisations are good but everything is written in a vague manner. The conversations could have got short and the other details could have been specified in a better manner because the way you express things are beautiful but you just focus on the emotions instead of the main story that makes it look a lot diverted 

Grammar : 3.5/5
There have been a few typos and also few tenses have been misplaced, few words have often been repeated while their synonyms can be used. Capitalization of few of the sentences can be avoided, and placing of ellipses and exclamation mark after them in every paragraph can be removed.

Overall impression : 8/10 

Total : 40.5/50

2) Tu Yaad Aaya by Confused_Soul_Kriya

Cover = 4.5/5 
The Cover is Absolutely cute and the dark background suits the sad story but maybe a different image of Erica would also be better, but otherwise the cover is actually very beautiful

Title = 5/5
The title is perfect as it is, The song and the story is just in the sync they have to be. 
Readers can actually get the image of the story through the title 

Description/Blurb =    5 /5
The blurb is cut short and crisp, The readers know what to expect and you deliver exactly what you promised 

Length =   9 /10
I think the story is good but a little scene of Nivi publishing the book and dedicating it to Prerna would be a proper ending. Also a little more about their feelings could have been added about how they actually realized that they were in love.

Plot = 10/10
The story is very emotional, it goes through various flashbacks and conveys the Anupre flashback in a short and a beautiful way but Nivi's character development definitely had to be there it feels a little vague 

Grammar = 4 /5 
There are very small grammatical errors like one or two spelling mistakes,Also there is differentiation between dialogues but it isn't exactly clear who is speaking like it is done in the first two sentences and then it isn't specified at all, if you can add that it looks better.

Overall impression = 9.5/10
The story is sad and gives you the song vibes totally, While the ending leaves you on an emotional note, there are a few points that leave the readers confused such as how did Prerna know that girl was an orphan, or how he convinces Nivi to come with him to meet Pratyusha or why she considers prerna as her mom. Those small things could have been worked on and this story would score a perfect 50 

Total : 47/50

P. S : This happens to be my favorite One shot Of AnuPre until date.

An unexplainable bond they shared by RekhaMittal

Cover : 3.5/5 
The cover is good, it's simple and classy, 

It definitely suits the book but the font on the cover of the book kind of pulls people off guard, Neon looks too flashy on covers, so I recommend you to use some simple font otherwise the cover is really good. 

Title  : 4 /5
The title explains that there is something between them that is pure but cannot be explained. So we already know that this is going to be something cute, warm and mushy. 

Description/Blurb : 2 /5 
You just specified that it's a one shot. Nothing much about the story is known through the blurb, Most of the times when someone reads the blurb they get curious to know how the story goes that's why writing a blurb is important. Since the story is good I recommend that you write a short summary of the story as the blurb

Length : 8/10
Coming to the length of the story, I think the second chapter came out a bit longer than required.The story is good but the conversations  could have been shortened  and I like the way you had described their bond but a little more details regarding their feelings for each other could have been added. 

Plot :8 /10 
The story revolves around Parica, Their bond was really adorable,The way you portray their care and affection was good. The ending could have been a bit different but the one  you have chosen  sounds good too. And maybe if the situation was a little more serious one, I'm sure more justice would be done to the title

Grammar :3.5/5 
Typos and grammatical mistakes have been made in a few places. The usage of the lingo (social media language like hella,kinda) we use generally should be kept minimal and capitalization of every sentence isn't really necessary.And Italicizing of every word can be avoided.Also the Right Punctuation marks haven't been used at particular places. 

Overall impression:8 /10 

Total :  37/50

Girlfriend -- Boyfriend by RekhaMittal

Cover : 3.5/5 
It's good but somehow looks too simple, Yeah it's good but then it looks plain, Especially the main picture on the side, it looks too blurred. So please check with that. 

Title : 3/5 
The title is good, but you know you could always put a better title, because yeah they're boyfriend girlfriend but it's not a story about how they became a couple. But the after journey so please give it a different title 

Description/Blurb : 2.5/5
A Blurb is supposed to at least give the readers a hint of what the story could be, But the readers don't get to know anything so please include a short summary of the story 

Length : 7/10 
See I get it that with the situation we need to change the background music but not necessarily the whole song it kind of interferes with the plot, so my suggestion is include just one stanza of the song. And you can directly start off with Anurag's POV instead of the whole mind and heart battle which can also be depicted in his POV

Plot : 8/10 
Talking about the plot, you show us two different shades of Anurag which is very cute, Also the way the situation is explained is nice, Above all I love your sense of humor, it's too good. Especially the parts where Anurag feels jealous of Arjun. 

Grammar : 3/5 
A lot of mistakes have been made in the usage of past tenses, There are few terms who's past tense and present tense is the same so just check with them and use them correctly 

Unnecessary Capitalization of All the paragraphs is not required, You can write them normally too 

Ellipses are never accompanied by anything else, Usage of exclamatory marks after ellipses is an error so please do avoid it. 

Overall impression : 8/10 

Total : 35 /50

World's Apart by _pratviii_

Cover : 4.5/5 
The cover is perfect. But it looks too much of black and whitish giving it a mystery vibe, So I suggest you to use different images for the cover or continue to use this because this is cute as well. 

Title :  5/5
It's the perfect title, describes the situation where both of them are completely opposite and have nothing In common, and suits the story perfectly

Description : 3/5 
You just specify that its a love story between Sonakshi and Manik. I love the first chapter you wrote where you describe the story so maybe you can include a little portion of that in the blurb. 

First impression : 9/10
You really impressed me with the concept, Yes I've seen similar books but not with the concept of Sonakshi and Manik falling in love, So I loved it and immediately started reading it. 

Plot : 9/10
When I read the introduction chapter I really felt that it was going to be interesting. 

Sonakshi is a strong character and Manik is her opposite, So it's like the opposites falling in love type story. 

Grammar : 4.5/5 
There are no grammatical errors, and there are no mistakes in tenses, The vocabulary is totally perfect, However I have one small suggestion 

Please differentiate dialogues when you're writing them or else it tends to cause confusion. 

Character development :   9.5/10
The way you portray Sonakshi is perfect, She is a strong woman who knows what to do and what to say. And the way you portray Manik without even watching KYY, The efforts are surely to be appreciated 

Writing style : 4.5/ 5
I like the different kind of words you use instead of repeating them, And poetry (of John Green) usage was exactly at the right situation. I really admire the way you write but please do give a little spacing between them. 

Length of chapters :4.5/5 
The chapter length is perfect but please do give spacing after few words because the paragraphs look too long. Otherwise your chapters cover everything they have to. 

Overall impression  : 13/15
I personally enjoyed reading your book, it was funny as well as beautiful, I promise I'm going to continue reading it as you update further 

Total : 66.5/75
