KIM TAEHYUNG RESULTS (R1)
First off, I wanted to say thank you to all KTH participants and judges! Thanks for being patient and doing all that was asked of you!

Remember, there will be three rounds. The final round will have the top three winners, released on February 16th!

Once you are eliminated, you are free to leave unless you have another book in another category.
As participants are eliminated, there will be a small Active Check (not mandatory) at the very bottom, just asking how your experience was and any improvements, etc. It would help a lot!

The Most Liked results will be in Round 3!

In this category, the most repeated things were the following:

- mafia/criminal trope
- arranged marriages trope
- past and present tense confusion/mix
- not capitalizing proper nouns (names)
- punctuation issues/grammar issues

Each individual review highlights certain issues like these (if they were found), so please note them down and revise your books with this help!

DISCLAIMER
This round includes the lowest scored books + books eliminated for AI percentages or for not following the rules. Some books that were eliminated due to AI do have feedback as it was detected after judging.

Every participant needs to pick up their reviews! Down below in the Active Check you can write any social media (Insta, X, Discord, etc.) you may have so I can send it to you. If you do not have one, we can discuss how to send it in the comments.

Remember, if VVIP, you'll pass straight to Round 3 for a final re-evaluation done by me. Your scores will not be seen until Round 3 in which you can either win or be eliminated.

If you only have one judge review that means I was your only judge. Unless, you were eliminated due to AI or not following some rules, then the feedback is from your judge.

I do tend to judge harshly at times, which can be seen with a significance in score drops, but it's because of accuracy when it comes to judging all the books. Just to ensure all are graded similarity. Please understand.

Additionally, as I mentioned briefly in my message board for the JJK category, if you want a more in-depth review/feedback for improvements on your book, you can always request it! It might take me more time because of classes and work, but I will be able to do it for you. This is always an option, just make sure to tell me early so that I can make a list. I'll do a deeper dive of your book. [This only applies for books submitted to The Trivia Awards!]

The mean average of all the scores total in this category is: 56.75!

ROUND 1 RESULTS
(will include four books)

A Writer's Muse by Mae_the_Mellow [M] {Eliminated}
- No active check.

Mr. Vampire by ArmyR72025 [M] (first judge - 69) {Eliminated}
- Unfollowed. No backup. [first judge left some feedback to check out!]

BLUE EYES by user_thv [M] (first judge - 83) {Eliminated}
- AI detected in sections of the explanations and the blurb, which disqualifies the book from competition. Many areas included 100% in multiple detectors. Since I can't pinpoint if AI was used for editing or the writing itself, the story will be disqualified as per the rules. It's a shame it was eliminated, the story seemed promising. Small disclaimer, I am not stating you have used AI to write your story. I am purely judging based on the rules of my awards. Overall, the story seemed to be very engaging. [the first judge left some minor feedback.]

BLUE EYES 2 by user_thv (first judge - 89) {Eliminated}

Any questions? Let me know!
Round 3 will include Honorable Mentions!
Some of you leave when your book is eliminated and don't realize your book was mentioned. I even write some meaningful comments about it sometimes, so I recommend to check it out!
