Cover is very plain, as I noticed. Even though the picture seems to describe the story line well, the picture of Jungkook is common in Wattpad covers. It can be a disadvantage, since having an eye-catching cover is one of the important factors if you want to attract readers. Also, try to make the font of the title and author's name more visible, as they are also very important elements in a cover. I'd suggest getting help from a Graphic designer if you're having any problems with cover-making. Our very own community graphic shop is available :)

Same goes to the title. 'Insane' is a very common name and it can be a big disadvantage when it comes to Wattpad. As there are many books with 'insane' as the title, your book will have high competition to be on top. If it doesn't reach the top, the readers won't get a chance to catch your book, even if the name describes the story amazingly. Second, when readers see the same name repeatedly they'll think the story line would be not much different. Thus, they would lose interest in clicking on the book and reading. So, if you could try to come up with a unique, matching to the storyline title, it would be better.

The blurb is a one sentence description. I have to admit that it's a very catchy phrase to use as the description. Moreover, using a one sentence is matching to the way you write the story as most of the time the story is expressed in words that have two meanings. And SoI didn't see much problems with the description, other than the fact that you could've used quotation marks when writing a part of a conversation or a sentence said by someone.
𝙿𝚕𝚘𝚝 𝙰𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚠𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚜 :: 22/25
The plot was very twisted and surprising. Actually, I only had a faint idea of the story and the explanation was what cleared up my visions of the story. It was really an emotional story, and it was really good. However, I think you should not be too vague and give at least a bit of idea of what the story is, since it would make the story better. Furthermore, the story seems hurried but I can see slow burns aren't going to do much for your story either. But it would be better if it was between that hurrying and slow pace.

Characters are very interesting. But, what I actually felt was that; it's a mystery. That's the world I felt while reading your book, plus Tragedy. Jungkook had multiple personality disorders and I, myself, live for psychological Au's. The character of Jungkook describes a broken person who is beyond cure, and I think that is what made the readers so filled with remorseful energy and the feeling to resent the book. Keeping Jungkook alive would be everyone's life goal, and making him die makes the readers keep thinking about how the story would've been if he was alive. This results in them re-reading most of the time. So, frankly the main character Jungkook is an attractive, absorbing character, and I think it's very good. Y/n was more uncommon than in most books too, as all the time we see the innocent, kind Y/n and here it is different. Junghyun is a very sweet character, and I liked him the most. Even if the story was based on a small number of characters, they had the story going fine. So overall characterization was good. Emotions were there and I felt like the whole story was based on emotions which suited the plot.
𝚆𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚂𝚝𝚢𝚕𝚎 :: 12/15
Writing style is catchy. I think how vague it was what made it interesting as readers are now intrigued to know what happened next. Though sometimes some incidents seemed cringey, such as how many times we have seen the scene in different books, it was not that bad and it wasn't that often. Sometimes the POV's were confusing which, I recommend doing something about. Other than that it's actually good.

Grammar mistakes were very rare and typos weren't present much either. It's very good to have less mistakes in grammar, as some readers get easily irritated by grammatical errors. Though the vocabulary isn't that vast, the words weren't much of a disappointment either. Repetition was present, but it's a quite short story to keep thinking about words when the plot did the job of keeping the readers attracted.
𝚁𝚎𝚟𝚒𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚛'𝚜 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 ::3 /5
My thoughts were; that your book is interesting. It was filled with twists and there was hardly any time to be attached to one scene, when the next scene was much more intriguing and interesting. I liked the story. If the things I mentioned were corrected, it would be much better.
𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 :: 74 /100
𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 :: Writing style, grammar, blurb, characters and emotions were strengths, while cover, title were weaknesses. Plot was, however, in between a strength and a weakness, as I noticed both good and bad in it. But author-nim you nice, keep going!
