The Shadow Like Me 123hikibakas

BOOK COVER : 5/5
The book cover for "Shadow like me" sounds absolutely captivating. It's amazing how a simple photo can convey the essence of the book so perfectly, especially with the font style complementing the overall design. It's wonderful when a book cover can truly capture the essence of the story. In simple terms I was  mesmerised by it!

BOOK TITLE : 5/5
The title "Shadows like me" is absolutely spot on. It perfectly captures the dark and mysterious vibe of the story. The creativity and charm in the title will definitely grab the attention of readers. It's great when a title aligns so well with the essence of the book. Well done to the author for choosing such a captivating title!

 
BLURB/DESCRIPTION : 10/10
Sometimes, a short and intriguing description can be incredibly powerful. The quote you mentioned in "Shadows like me" is so captivating and leaves you wanting to know more about the story. It's fascinating how just a few words can pique your curiosity and make you eager to dive into the book. The author did a fantastic job with the description, creating that sense of mystery and intrigue.

FIRST IMPRESSION : 9/10
I love it when authors take a unique approach by introducing different characters and their stories right from the beginning. It adds an extra layer of mystery and keeps readers engaged. It's exciting to dive into a story that starts off with such intrigue!

 
PLOT : 20/20
The plot is absolutely captivating. The twisted and enigmatic nature of the story definitely adds to its originality and keeps readers intrigued. It's exciting when a book leaves you wanting to know more and more as you read further. The hints of mental health and trauma in Taehyung's character make it even more intriguing, and it's great that the author has left some things hanging to keep readers curious. The use of uncomplicated language in the chapters makes it accessible and enjoyable to read.

CHARACTERS : 10/10
The characters also seem a little undescriptive but I totally understand it's a mysterious book.
The character which I liked till now was Taehyung's. His character building is so eccentric. It looks like there are two taehyung and one is scared of another. Or it can be that he is the same person. The other character is  Y/n who is a psychiatrist who is dealing with
taehyung's problem and helping him. The detectives also are very good characters and how they are dealing with the cases .
The characters are original. As the story is ongoing and has so many things still need to be discovered. There is no character development yet. But it can be that the Taehyung from 8 years ago and now must have had some development or it can also be that they are stuck in their haunted memories.
 

The characters may seem a bit mysterious and undescriptive, but that's what makes them so intriguing. Taehyung's character, in particular, is eccentric and fascinating. It's interesting how there's this sense of duality, like he's scared of his own reflection or there's another side to him. And Y/n, the psychiatrist, adds another layer to the story as she helps Taehyung with his problems. The detectives also sound like great characters, dealing with the cases in their own unique ways. Since the story is still ongoing, there's a lot more to uncover about the characters and their development. It's like they're stuck in their haunted memories

STYLE OF WRITING : 10/10
The writing style is absolutely captivating. The specific and descriptive nature of the writing allows you to visualise each scene vividly, especially during the murder scenes. It's like you're right there, witnessing it all unfold. The seamless transition between scenes and perspectives adds to the overall flow of the story. And the dialogues, they truly capture the emotions that the characters want to convey. It's amazing how the writing brings the story to life.

PACE : 8/10
The pace feels a bit fast at times, but I understand that it keeps me curious and wanting to know more. Since the book is ongoing, I can't say more but  It's important to have that connection to the story, and it sounds like the pace allows you to fully immerse  in the events unfolding. Let's hope the pace continues to keep readers engaged and eager to discover what happens next!

PUNCTUATION/GRAMMAR : 10/10
The punctuation and grammar are on point. It helps convey the messages and emotions of the characters clearly. The proper punctuation in the dialogues and scenes makes everything easily understandable. It's great when a book is well-written and allows you to fully grasp the story. The author's attention to detail in punctuation definitely enhances the reading experience.

YOUR IMPRESSION : 9/10
The story is literally good. If it is about Writing, styling it, characters, plot all come together nicely. Everything seems good and it totally deserves more attention than it has now. The  laying out of the mysterious plot with different and unique characters is so ethical. I can totally feel and see the author's efforts in the story. Good job. But I can see the updates are so few and take so long to publish the next chapters . It can be frustrating when you're eagerly waiting for the next chapters. However, sometimes authors need time to ensure they deliver the best possible story. But it can make readers lose interest. Hopefully, the author can find a balance and provide the chapters readers are eagerly waiting for.

And as the book is, the genre is mysterious and crime. I judged it that way only. Your book is totally considered very good. It holds every suspense and tension in every chapter and their every character. Like how this kind of book should be.

And your writing is good but in the last chapter it seemed like you were unable to write what you exactly wanted. But don't worry it will be good. Keep going ..thank you.

The Summer of My Youth by a_purple_girl

BOOK COVER : 5/5
The cover is summer refreshing just like the title of the book . It did catch my attention and the font was perfect and visible. I think the Taehyung picture used for the cover to express the book's message is a great choice ! Exactly what the author wants to say.

BOOK TITLE : 5/5
So, the book's title 'Summer of my youth' is totally relevant to the book. Fonts used in the title are perfect and can be seen by anyone. The book itself is a walk in diary to their teenage years in the beautiful summer in Japan. It kinda caught my attention as I never saw this kind of title. As I said this title is giving unique energy and perfectly fits on the spot. Well done author.

 
BLURB/DESCRIPTION : 6/10
The description is perfect, not really short or long but the description is almost showing the full story. However, I guess it's okay. But this thing doesn't catch readers attention. They like it when the story has some unique quotes made by the author.

FIRST IMPRESSION : 9/10
The Summer's refreshing vibe and writing definitely caught my attention. The first chapter is captivating and written well. It feels like I am watching some anime or ghibli studio type . The author described everything greatly .
At first it didn't catch my attention but as I read more chapters it felt good and amazing.

 
PLOT : 20/20
The plot of the book is truly captivating and heartwarming. It's great that it captures the innocent and sweet moments of youth, making it relatable and nostalgic. The absence of plot holes and the perfect fit of everything definitely adds to the appeal. The detailed descriptions create a vivid experience, making it feel like you're watching an anime or travelling to Japan. The use of easy language makes it accessible to a wide range of readers. It might be a simple story but it is genuinely beautiful..
It is written in an easy language which everyone can understand. There are no difficult words used for expressing the story .

CHARACTERS : 9/10
Yes, the character Suki is amazing. I can see she is hard but a softie inside and the dog Kie is cute. I hope Yeontan and Kie get well with each other. All the characters there are good until now . The characters are totally original. It's great to see the creativity the author put into them. As the story is ongoing I can't say for any character development but I can see the sweet and innocent teen love is in the air. And also Suki is soft for taehyung.
 

STYLE OF WRITING : 10/10
It's properly laid out .Yes, the writing style is very detailed and it makes it easy to visualise the scenes, it feels like we can see the story in our brain. If that makes sense.  It was easy to read and understand everything. There were some fun and interesting dialogues. And I loved it.

PACE : 10/10
As it's an ongoing book till now the pace seems fine. I hope it stays like this. The pace is good like some books use a fast pace but here the pace allows the readers to connect with the story and understand what's happening.

PUNCTUATION/GRAMMAR : 10/10
The punctuation and grammar are on point , making it easy to follow and understand the characters and the story.

YOUR IMPRESSION : 10/10
I don't know but it's not about character but how the author's description of the weather or the places in Japan makes me feel like I am actually there. The fresh and calm atmosphere captivated my attention, and it's great that the story stands out from typical teen romance books. The author's talent for describing Japan and the weather is truly remarkable.

Did their story leave any impact on you?  It's ongoing, so it's too early to say.

Your writing absolutely astounds me, author. I don't think I can give any tips just go on with your story. It's beautiful that you don't see some teen innocent romance books these days. And the description of Japan or weather you always do is amazing. I hope more people know this story as it feels like a fresh and calm breeze .Like you can see, cut the points. The only thing I can say is maybe try again writing the description. Like something which would catch the attention of readers.

Thank you and all the best .

Love to Hatred by Lucandaa

BOOK COVER : 5/5
The book cover looks perfect and all the artwork in the cover can be seen. It's like the artwork and the expressions of the characters on the cover perfectly capture the unique vibe of the title and the book. It's amazing when everything aligns like that!.

BOOK TITLE : 4/5
The title "Love to Hatred" seems relevant to the book but for me it looks like there was a little hatred at the beginning then it converted to love but the best part of the ongoing book it can change any time . It captures the idea of a journey from love to hatred, but there's also a sense of unpredictability in the ongoing story.  Even though the book title is pretty common and having a creative and unique title can definitely attract more readers.
But still it's good you can work on it .

BLURB/DESCRIPTION : 8/10
The description is intriguing with its mix of quotes and descriptions. It's interesting that the description hints at elements that may come in future chapters, adding a layer of anticipation for readers. The author did a great job in creating a captivating blurb that piques curiosity.

FIRST IMPRESSION : 6/10
The first chapter  gave off a high school love-hate story vibe initially. However, as you read more chapters, it seems like the story took a different direction. But the first needs some improvement especially in terms of balancing dialogue and descriptions. Finding a good balance between the two can enhance the reading experience and help readers connect with the story and its elements.

PLOT : 19/20
The plot is indeed original, even though the theme of love turning into hate or vice versa is quite common. The inclusion of dark twists adds a unique and standout element to the story, making it captivating for readers. It's great that the author's choice of words makes the book easy to understand, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the story. And including pictures for attires and looks is a fantastic addition that enhances the visual experience while reading.

CHARACTERS : 6/10
The characters  have unique vibes, especially the mysterious Y/n character. It's great that Y/n's secret adds a hook to the story and keeps readers engaged. However, the characters sometimes do not react to unbelievable or unexpected events, which can leave readers confused.  But , adding more realistic and emotional reactions can enhance the connection between readers and the characters. Keep working on character development to make them feel more relatable and authentic.

STYLE OF WRITING : 8/10
The writing style is fun and engaging, with great and efficient dialogues. However, there is a need for more description of the background and character emotions. By incorporating more descriptive elements, the writing can become even better and create a stronger connection between readers and the story and the writing style of the author in most chapters is good and uses more describing elements and that is the author's development. Very nice.

PACE : 5/10
The pace  started off well, but then it became much faster. It's possible that the author wanted to wrap up the story quickly so readers could still connect with it. While it's okay to have a fast-paced story, it's important to ensure that it doesn't leave readers feeling confused. Finding a balance between a faster pace and providing enough clarity can help create a more enjoyable reading experience.

PUNCTUATION/GRAMMAR : 7/10
So the story is good but sometimes I can see there is no punctuation in some words and sentences which confused me a lot  and some also had grammatical mistakes. You can correct them, don't worry .

YOUR IMPRESSION : 8/10
The story is a perfect combination of love and both darkness and the author's efforts to write the whole story can be seen . but I can say you can try more .

it had a perfect combination of love and darkness. I could see the author's efforts in writing the whole story. You  can use  descriptive elements for surrounding and a little for a character too . It will enhance your stories more . Keep working on the story and writing.

Thank you and all the best .

Taehyung - A Romance Book by bts_army7saranghe

BOOK COVER : 3/5
The book cover is good but still it doesn't match the aesthetic vibes of the title or the book. Having two Taehyungs on the cover might be a bit confusing. Maybe you wanted to separate it. The efforts you put in the book are seen but it needs more .

BOOK TITLE : 4/5
"The romance book" accurately describes the genre; it might not be the most attention-grabbing title for new readers. Catchy and unique titles can definitely help attract more readers.   Although it is relevant to the book as it is about two people and how their relationship will bloom .

BLURB/DESCRIPTION : 5/10
The description is good, not really telling about the story but just a dialogue to captivate the reader's attention . And the dialogue used is pretty common .  It's important to strike a balance between intriguing dialogue and providing enough information about the story.

FIRST IMPRESSION : 6/10
The first  chapter has no descriptive elements, it's like I am just reading without any emotions.The first chapter can definitely set the tone for the entire story, and it's important to create an emotional connection with the readers right from the start. But I can see your interaction with your readers more in the story and that's important but sometimes it cuts the flow of the story.

PLOT : 17/20
The plot seems not original. I didn't mean that it's copied , sometimes we come across similar plots in books, especially on platforms like Wattpad. Having unique and interesting plots can definitely showcase an author's creativity and keep readers engaged. There are some plot holes . The story is truly heartwarming but didn't catch that much attention. It's important for a story to have a strong emotional connection to capture readers' attention. Adding background descriptions and expressing characters' feelings can enhance the overall experience.The words used in the story are not difficult but can be for foreign readers as it contains some hindi-english sentences. It will be  worth considering the language used  to cater to a diverse audience, especially for foreign readers. 
  

CHARACTERS : 8/10
The characters are unique as I can see y)n is a silly but mature woman but can be childish with the person she loves. And Taehyung's character is good but like I said .It's important for characters to feel relatable and evoke emotions in readers. While the characters are unique and show some development, the characters don't feel attachment and emotions with readers . So , this story is completed now . So there is character development visible in the story .

STYLE OF WRITING : 5/10
The writing style  seems to heavily rely on detailed dialogues, which can make it a bit challenging to feel or visualise the story. It's important to strike a balance between dialogue and other descriptive elements to maintain the flow of the plot. .  It was easy to read and understand everything but sometimes the author gets too distracted and that cuts the flow from the actual plot .However, There were some fun and interesting dialogues and I loved it .

PACE : 5/10
The pace is fast, with scenes changing rapidly. While it may lack some description, it's still understandable and easy to read. But I still want the author to understand that finding the right balance between pacing and providing enough description can make the story even more engaging.

PUNCTUATION/GRAMMAR : 5/10
Even though the story and dialogues are good, they don't have proper punctuation and grammar. . Without them, it can be challenging to create a connection with the characters and understand the story's message.

YOUR IMPRESSION : 7/10
The story is sweet romance and the author had written the dialogue well but. There's room for improvement in areas like description and making stronger connections with the stories. Creating sexual tension can be a good element, but it's important to balance it with other aspects. The creation of sexual tension was good but  that can be good too .
I can see the author is trying to be fun and interact with their reader and suggesting phrases , emojis and photos . It's definitely a fun way to engage readers but the book should have more writing . I am sure the existing readers will love to give support to you . But if you need to step more in the world of writing books . You need to put in more effort.

Thank you and all the best .

The Cost of a Bribe by SciFanFicness

BOOK COVER : 5/5
The cover is pretty good and It's great that the cover captures the detective and mysterious vibe of the book. The perfect fonts and the expressive picture really help convey the book's message.

BOOK TITLE : 5/5
"The Cost of Bribe" is indeed a unique and attention-grabbing title and it perfectly fits with the story  . The author's creative mindset really shines through, and it's sure to capture the attention of many readers.

 
BLURB/DESCRIPTION : 6/10
The description is quite doesn't catchy and matches the energy of the book .  
It's important for the description to be catchy and match the energy of the book, especially if it's about crime and action. While the author did a good job, there's still an opportunity to captivate the reader's attachment even more. Keep up the good work and continue refining the blurb to make it even more enticing!

FIRST IMPRESSION : 6/10
As it's a crime and detective action book it catches my attention but the first chapter does not have those elements which can make this stand out as a crime detective book . And the description elements are so few . It's also important for the book to be expressive and draw emotions from readers, even if it's a crime story

PLOT : 15/20
The plot looks amazing but needs more work to express in terms of words . I can see it capture the detectives and mafia thing that makes it unique.  There are a lot of plot holes like I said. The book needs more expressive elements to create a stronger connection with the story and characters. It's awesome that the author put in the effort to express Korean words and sentences and translate them back to English.

CHARACTERS : 7/10
The character there is Y/n who is a detective and her character seems good. It's been 13 chapters but still there is no  clue of Taehyung. I see it's an ongoing book but 13 is a lot. The reader's might get bored and not read it more. No character development until now maybe in the future chapter can be seen.

STYLE OF WRITING : 5/10
I appreciate your feedback, Shivani! The writing style seems to heavily focus on dialogue with limited description. While it's easy to read and understand, there's room for improvement. Adding more descriptive elements can enhance the overall reading experience.  The author's efforts are visible, and I believe they can continue to improve. There was some good dialogue too.

PACE : 4/10
The pace seems to be very fast, and the scenes change rapidly without much description. It's important to find a balance between the character development and the story progression. Adding more details about the characters' feelings and their surroundings can make the book feel more complete and immersive.

PUNCTUATION/GRAMMAR : 4/10
The punctuation and grammar are not really on point , there are some sentences which are in the past and some in the present which can create confusion in the reader's . Punctuation and grammar are important for clarity. Inconsistent tenses can create confusion for readers. It's crucial to maintain consistency in verb tenses throughout the book to avoid any misunderstandings.

YOUR IMPRESSION : 5/10
The author's efforts can be totally seen and I respect it but there is still room for improvement in all the criteria above . . You can use describing the characters' emotions and body language that  can add depth to the scenes, while detailing the surroundings can enhance the overall story. As it is a crime book creating tension and leaving readers on the edge of their seats can make the book more engaging and keep them wanting more

Thank you and all the best .

The Rose by Diorpearl_Khyati

BOOK COVER : 3/5

The book cover looks good and I can see you tried a blurring effect on it but it's not relevant to the story . So I can't say anything . It doesn't align with your story plot . But you try different things, don't worry.

BOOK TITLE : 3/5
The title "The Rose" seems relevant to the book but in your story  the horror with love plot doesn't catch that much but the author can surely work on her creativity to have some unique vibe to catch more readers.

BLURB/DESCRIPTION : 6/10
The description is captivating with its mix of quotes and descriptions. It's good to have some knowledge about characters .

FIRST IMPRESSION : 6/10
The first chapter is good but has more dialogue then it needs to be some descriptions about characters body language and surrounding and how it affects the story can help .

PLOT : 18/20
The plot is definitely good like a horror - love theme with a twist for imaginary scenes is such a unique thing that we can't see commonly on this wide platform . The words used are a little difficult to read and understand but you can try more.

CHARACTERS : 5/10
The characters  are unique, the taehyung character which has a soul thing is good but as the story just has 3 chapters it will be difficult to say there is character development. It's really important to have a connection with readers and that can be only done if we have more chapters.

STYLE OF WRITING : 6/10
The writing is good, not professional and has dialogue and a little description. Easy going dialogue which is fun to read .

PACE : 6/10
The pace is in good flow. I hope it will be the same to keep readers hooked to the story and capture their emotions and connection with it .

PUNCTUATION/GRAMMAR : 2/10
There are some punctuation and grammar mistakes in the story that can leave confusion and not be engaged in the story.

YOUR IMPRESSION : 4/10
The plot is amazing but the other criteria need improvement to have readers' attention and hook them to your story . And try to update more and more because that makes a good image  of you in your readers heart . you can use a writing style with more description surrounding and make it express it like in that way that leaves some impression on readers . And they would think the author did such good work .

The efforts are definitely visible but need some improvement.

Thank you and all the best .
