Hello Kpoppers!

We are happy to announce the results of Male K-Idols x Reader. Kudos to the judges who found time amidst their schedule and provided us with the results in the limited time frame.

1. Burning Stars by kritikaKashyap07
    Judge: midnight_breezee

Title: 2/5
➥The title sounded beautiful but I couldn't find any relation to it with the story.

Cover: 3/5
➥The cover goes well with the plot but the particular picture is quite common in use.

Blurb: 4/5
➥ It was quiet intriguing I may say, however, a bit much was revealed.

Character development: 4/10
➥The story was too fast and lacked emotions. It felt like watching pictures in a slideshow. As a result, the characters weren't explained well and no proper development was noticed except that Jungkook felt himself guilty.

Plot: 2/10
➥The beginning was 95 percent similar to a book named 28 days where JK and Y/n are old friends but now enemies and then Jungkook commits suicide... But then your book took a turn. Though your thoughts were interesting but your writing seemed unorganised and it really confused the plot. I mean a person who liked you would never try to torment you just because of jealousy. And suddenly a normal student cannot kill anyone; it requires a huge amount of mental strength even if it was acted out of impulse. I would advise you to take it slow and provide more details.

Flow of the story: 2/5
➥ Too fast-really had a hard time to reflect the characters. More time is required.

Grammar: 3/5
➥You did try to use good words but at the same time there were some basic mistakes like using past tense with 'did' or writing 'a women' instead of 'woman'. Use of '~' seemed wrong. It is not used until a harmonic conversation is depicted.

Genre relevance: 5/5
➥Relevant.

Anticipation: 3/5
➥The last lines are really full of suspense which I really appreciate. However, the writing style made me lose interest.

Overall: 5/10
➥Some parts were good but they need a lot more explanation and details. Things seemed quite out of reality. The plot could've been a bit more unique.

Reading books is recommended. These are my honest thoughts.

Total: 33/70

2. You Belong to Me by leomimi17
    Judge: midnight_breezee

Title: 4/5
➥Apt and goes well with the plot - could have been a bit more innovative

Cover: 4/5
➥Loved the front but the red 'Me' looked a bit extra- can try reducing the glow and darkening the colour

Blurb: 5/5
➥Great. It really made one curious and excited to read the story

Character development: 8/10
➥The characters had individual development, however, Taehyung and Y/N's relationship does not develop much. There were almost no close/ romantic/angst scenes between them, even in Chapter 29. Therefore, it requires a bit more of a couple screen timing of Tae-Y/N as the FF is KTH x Y/N × JJK.

Plot: 9/10
➥I liked the plot - it was exciting and kept me engaged. Well paced and somewhat realistic, though the mafia hero theme with a past is common nowadays.

Flow of the story: 9/10
➥Well paced. I liked the turn of events especially when Jungkook spoke to Namjoon- Waiting for Min Yoongi and never forgiving you for killing Hobi. And again the only fault is less couple scenes of Taehyung and Y/N

Grammar: 3/5
➥Some sentences were very well constructed while some sounded immature. Punctuations were missing in numerous places. Some minor errors in tenses were also found. A bit of proofreading would help.

Genre: 5/5
➥ Quite relevant.

Anticipation: 5/5
➥Great suspense. I loved Jungkook's character.

Overall: 9/10
➥Count me as one of your new readers. Waiting for the next update!

These are my honest thoughts.

Total: 61/70

3. Search [Book One of King-Queen Jester Series] by ASG_JK
     Judge: Loraslk

Title: 5/5
➥Title is relevant, it is unique and the subtitle also matches the story.

Cover: 4.5/5
➥The title is clear and can be seen easily. The background colour, imagery works with the title. However, I think that the subtitle or quote font on the cover may be hard to see on smaller devices.

Blurb: 4.5/5
➥The blurb is alluring and captivating. You use good describing words in the blurb; it does make me want to read the book. However, I do not like how you used a capital letter at the word's start and end. I'm sure you did that to draw attention

Character Development: 5/10
➥Personally, I don't feel like the characters, feel real while reading it, but it could be because detectives and dramas aren't my usual surroundings, but I feel like there is more telling then showing evidence in the book which makes the characters feel less real. However there are discoveries I could connect somewhat to the characters. I did not feel the emotions of the characters through the writing.

Plot: 6/10
➥The plot is unique. I personally haven't read any detective types of books so it is very intriguing, especially when the crime took place in a school type setting. Also different identities is a cool plot for the "death" victim. The book feels somewhat real, however in some ways it is lacking which may be from descriptive language which captures readers to feel more real, however this book maybe to make the book less gruesome. Some realness is also taken out from the fact the boy wanted to propose and it seems like a high school setting and if it is taking place in Korea, young proposals I don't think are that common which leaves some plot holes. The plot is well imagined though, however I think there are too many characters which makes the plot more confusing. For example, Y/N's friend group. It is important to mention these characters but more so in a way where you understand she has friends and then if they have importance to the plot, then go into details so that you don't have too many detailed side characters which is what is happening and is more effective in movies.

Flow of the story: 8/10
➥The flow of the story is alright, however I think a lot is happening in short periods of time.

Grammar: 1/5
➥ There are grammatical errors such as words missing to make proper sense, I'm not not talking about short and words but for example in the fifth line down in the prologue you wrote "man, we proud of ya". The better grammar would be "we are proud of ya". The word thing is not very descriptive for readers beyond the author's mind, so the author in some places needs to use better words to correlate to readers. Capital letters in incorrect places. Some sentence structure also does not make any sense, make sure to proofread, read out loud or put your work into another document to catch errors in your sentence. There are also occasional commas in the wrong places.

Genre: 5/5
➥The title words with the book genre and the plot.

Anticipation: 3/5
➥ There weren't many cliffhangers to create anticipation, the information was told to you, so it lacks some anticipation.

Overall: 3/5
➥ I think the story plot is very unique, not what I normally read. I think the book is good but it can be better. You did a good description but if you use the writing technique show and not tell for your plot, you can let the reader work things out even before telling with evidence shown to the reader and from your descriptive writing, I think you can execute this very well.

I loved reading the book, I think it's unique and can be executed well. There are some grammatical errors and things to be worked on to improve and capture more readers. Otherwise, it's a great book.

4. When His Heart Felt Love by ViniShah2
    Judge: Loraslk

Title: 4.5/5
➥The title is relevant though it is a bit long and slightly unique, it works for the book.

Cover: 3/5
➥ The title is easy to read and the colour scheme is good, however, I find that it is a bit hard to read the rest of the words on the cover due to the colour scheme, size and placement as the bottom subtitle or the quote seem to spread close to the edge of the book Cover.

Blurb: 4.5/5
➥Blurb is somewhat intriguing but it lacks some captivation to hook me into reading the book.

Character Development: 10/10
➥Characters despised and hated and then that changed.

Plot: 5/10
➥Starts off very boring in my opinion, not very descriptive. The plot consists of hate, mistakes and falling back in love. I would say that some parts of the plot did seem unnecessary and it was very long. The plot isn't very unique as other books can have similar plots. It seems somewhat real with connections to some of the characters, mostly Taehyung. You have humour in it too which I like. However, there were some plot holes such as, baby boy crying while Taehyung and Jia were kissing, claiming that Taehyung had bet her up but he was already crying before he saw Jia so unless there was another original reason for him crying, that was never answered because you even mentioned how Taehyung locked the door so he couldn't even see her neck. Even the screaming part, the child was alsewp and didn't cry until they were more quietly kissing.

Flow of the story: 1/10
➥Book is too long. It can affect the reader's span of attention and make them not want to finish your book.

Grammar: 3/5
➥Grammar isn't it very good, there is a lot of sentence that do not make sense, spelling mistakes too. Some of your word choices weren't the best at times as well, such as the word scream/screaming during your pregnant mother smut scene.

Genre relevance: 5/5
➥ Plot and title works with the genre

Anticipation: 3/5
➥You have cliffhangers or hooks to continue reading to know the truth or see reactions when the drama was announced to other characters, however there wasn't constant anticipation.

Overall: 1/5
➥Too long and somewhat felt boring for me, the ending got better than the beginning though

The book has great features but is quite long. I think the story length did not need to be that long to execute the plot. You have good character development but there's a few holes in the plot, some grammar needs to be fixed towards the beginning as well. But otherwise a good job the aesthetic side is beautiful.

Total: 40/70

5. DEJA VU by inky_jin
    Judge: Loraslk

Title: 5/5
➥It is relevant to the story- somewhat unique title.

Cover: 3/5
➥The cover works with the blurb and title for how Yoongi meets her as deja vu and golden-periwinkle field which keep coming back to in the text. However, I think the girl could have been wearing a white handbag as it was mentioned in the blurb with the periwinkles- would work with Deja Vu. I also believe the words on the cover are hard to read and the either subtitle or quote is beside a periwinkle, so the colour of the font makes it hard to read.

Blurb: 4/5
➥The blurb is interesting, it doesn't give too much away and while I am intrigued, I am missing a good hook to make me want to read it because you have many small hooks but nothing that draws me into the Deja vu idea.

Character Development: 10/10
➥ Characters seem somewhat real while reading it, and their relationships and emotions can be felt by readers through the author's writing.

Plot: 9/10
➥Plot is different and unique, it feels real while reading it, even though some supernatural events play out. My only issue with the plot is sometimes I cannot work out Yoongi's age, because in one place in particular in the first chapter, it references too Yoongi seeing the female disappear as due to his childish imagination, so I presume Yoongi is young, especially playing in the rain but then it says he banned his parents from visiting him which makes him sound older and like he's independent and has more authority over his parents so in a sense there is some issues with the plot wording.

Flow of story: 9.5/10
➥Could possibly say a lot happened in the book too quickly but the flow otherwise is pretty good.

Grammar: 4/5
➥Missing capital letters after full stops in some places.

Genre Relevance: 5/5
The title and plot match the genre.

Anticipation: 5/5
➥ Story definitely holds anticipation to see what's happening next.

Overall: 4/5
➥Your writing is beautiful and your story is very unique so I enjoyed it. However I didn't fully understand what was going on sometimes because your vocab isn't always fit for the general reader to understand, it's set for a higher audience I'd say. Some paragraphs were beautiful to read but a lot sometimes got confusing because I lost my place in what was happening in the story before descriptions of other stuff.

I really enjoyed the book, it has beautiful language used, just make sure your words are understandable. The cover also may need a little bit of work, it is beautiful tho. But overall, this book was very hard to fault.

Total: 53.5/70

6. Joon's by Yeahidonthavethink
   Judge: Loraslk

Title: 4/5
➥Title is unique and relates to the book as Namjoon features and it's just a slang, however I wonder if the title is grammatically correct because having the 's would suggest that joon is possession to someone or something but maybe he is seen as a possession to Marley? But also Joon is technically an abbreviation and you shouldn't put an apostrophe on abbreviations, however this is a name abbreviation. But also why is the title not something to do with aliens
or neighbours or a secret? Cover: (3/5) Cover is beautiful, the font colour works with the colour scheme, however the author's name on the cover blends into the background, and also Marley could be on the cover if she's more of a main character than Yoongi. Or it could be an alien?

Blurb: 5/5
➥Blurb is interesting, unique and hooks me to want to read it.

Character Development: 10/10
➥You showed Marley and Namjoon progressing together, even Namjoon and Jungkook trying to sort out what they are on earth, even Nicole and Yoongi's relationship and the way he did not want to love again but is giving in. Or even how he heard Namjoon out and didn't kill him for how he screwed up his life.

Plot: 9.5/10
➥I freaking loved it, it's so damn unique and different. I did find some holes in the plot though, such as you'd say weeks went by since Marley saw Namjoon since accidentally seeing him naked. However in the chapter beforehand, it seemed like it hadn't been weeks and they asked where Marley was as though it was just the other day they saw each other from other conversations that happened in the police station and as though she should have been Christmas shopping about the day after she saw him naked.

Flow of story: 9.5/10
Flow of the story was great. Possibly it would be nice to see more of RM's past though if he's royalty.

Grammar: 4.5/5
➥I found about one mistake in the book, I think it was a capital letter or gap in the sentence missing.

Genre Relevance: 2/5
➥I'm not sure if the title works with aliens, I think you could have made it more alien like seen as the theme was secret aliens basically. Or even something to do with a new neighbour or some secret or something to fit more. So I don't think the plot or title works with the theme genre of aliens. I suppose it slightly works though seen as Namjoon is the title RM is using and his nickname is Joon, and obviously he's a reasonably main character.

Anticipation: 5/5
➥Plenty of cliff hangers, and I felt urged to read the next chapter and find out what was gonna happen.

Overall : 5/5
➥I loved it!!! The plot is so unique.

There wasn't much to fault about this book, only the cover and reference to the title with what the story is about is the main issue. But overall, I really enjoyed reading your book.

Total: 57.5/70

7. Stay at Home by Yeahidonthavethink
    Judge: Loraslk

Title: 5/5
➥Title relates to the story and is unique.

Cover: 4.5/5
➥The font is a bit hard to read but the cover works well for the story.

Blurb: 4.5/5
➥Great blurb that hooked me, however I know I am guilty of this myself but using em dashes in the quote were used incorrectly, seen as I is a whole word, eclipses are better ways to stutter with a whole word that's only a letter rather than an em dashes, em dashes are better to be used when there is multiple letters in a word however.

Character Development: 10/10
➥Characters feel real, go through normal fights and are developing.

Plot: 10/10
➥Plot is unique, feels real while reading it even though it sounds quite mythical. I didn't find any plot holes.

Flow of story: 9.5/10
➥Flow was good, possibly a bit quick between the crash and them going into the village though.

Grammar: 3.5/5
➥Some sentence structure issues, some words are repeated by accident. Some other wording errors too.

Genre Relevance: 4.5/5
➥Not entirely sure what genre it is, it seems to be a bit of fantasy plus romance, I feel as though the title works with the romance side and the plot works with both. I suppose you could argue that the title works with the fantasy part where they wish they stayed at home.

Anticipation: 4.5/5
➥Anticipation was good, slightly lacking cliffhangers or stuff to draw you into reading the next chapter.

Overall: 4.5/5
I really enjoyed reading this book, the plot is very unique.

Your book is pretty much perfect, there are no glaring errors, possibly you need to do some rereading of the book to check for mistakes however the plot was effective, there's a great cover, possibly think about if the title works with the plot but overall I really enjoyed reading this book.
