REVIEW

Title: 7/10

The title is a li'l common. But it's still attractive. So, I would say that not many changes are needed. However, you can add some phrase or quote to make it even more attractive, basically, on the cover. However, an alternative can be thought of for some of your stories.

Cover: 7/10

The cover was simple, and I think no changes are needed. But, I would suggest you, enhance its quality, like, use a required filter. But, overall, your graphic designer did a good job.

Blurb: 4/10

Nothing much was there in the blurb. Since, the blurb act as a full-fledged introduction, you can add some information about each of your stories- may be a one-liner. Dialogues can be added and the theme of the plot can be highlighted. 

Plot: 7.5/10

I must say that you have chosen some emotional plots. All were commendable in their own ways. But, I think you could give a better disclosure to some of them. 

Road Trip: I would say that if it would be given some stretch, then, it could be better. The way you ended it, at last, can be changed. Or, should I say, that it could be extended to the third shot. 

Killing me softly: You could have given a slightly deviated ending. I felt that Shivaay should have got some chance to decipher or should I say, his thoughts in the last scene should have been brought out.

Character Development: 8.5/15

I would prefer that you should consider giving some space to the characters. What I feel is that you end up mixing the thoughts and places of characters. Just like in Road Trip, you should have given thought lines to Shivaay in a better way. The thoughts were quite mixed up. 

You could have also tried to show Annika's feelings for Shivaay. I felt as if it was rushed. 

Flow and Pace: 9/15

Due to this one factor, I felt that you ended up making most of the shots abrupt or rushed. Character development was unfavorably literally affected by it. You can get answers for this one in the plot and Character Development better.

Grammar: 6.5/15

You lack in this thing. Many punctuation errors, many tense errors, and quite a lot of typos. Also, you hadn't left spaces after commas and full stops, which is the basic grammar. If you want to enhance it at your level, by yourself, you should consider using some editing extensions like Grammarly. Also, you can opt for some editing shop on Wattpad. 

But, I would recommend that it should go under the editing stage. Your thoughts are mature and emotional, so, the grammar should be up to the mark to support it well. 

Uniqueness: 4.5/5

I truly feel that you have done well with the plots. These are unique. I didn't find such plots as much. And even if they are the inspired plots, then also, the way you presented made it beautiful. 

P.S. I am really sorry. I know I am late. I hope it was useful. And, I felt the urge to read your stories due to your plots. But, please focus on the potholes.
