Total: 57/100Review: I was quite intrigued by the plotline as usually when we come across K-pop stories we either stumble upon mafia stories or a rom-com one but this is straight out of another universe! Something that caught me off-guard would be the key elements when writing a book that is the intricate details such as the cover and the blurb. The title isn't visible on the cover, and I see a small logline on the cover, which is again not very visible. A change to that and a little check on the grammar points would make MOA's happy!

Total: 73/100Review: Starting off, I love how you have maintained Suga's character more or less like his real-world character which makes readers interact with the story better. Kick starting off with the intricate details, I love the vibe of the cover, but I would suggest having a change in the font, as it took me three tries to make out the 'Total' in the cover. The blurb was jotted to the point, however, I would suggest an ever longer blurb that contains all the crucial details that take place in the story without giving out too much. The grammar was on point but there were some errors here and there which could be rectified with grammar checkers. Overall, the Armies are in for a treat!

Total: 85/100Review: Where do I start? It would obviously be one of my favorite K-pop stories I have ever read on this platform! It was more like watching a movie, that literally kept me on the edge of my seat. I definitely saw a mini Ghostbusters movie unfolding within each and every page, and it did keep me hooked. Everything is perfect except for a small flaw in a very important detail, that is the cover. Cover's should look more attractive, and more daring to plunge readers, but this one is quite vague and bland. But apart from that, this is one story that would definitely be my must-read during my free hours. Engenes and Fearnots are in for a ride!

Total: 46/100Review: The title is amazing and I felt like the blurb could have been expanded further. There were minor issues in the spacing of dialogues and paragraphs and at some points the paragraphs were a bit hyped up like I do understand that she's an engene and obviously she's hyped up to meet the boys but at times it went off-guard. Apart from that, I'm sure that this would be a perfect treat for all the engenes out there!

Total: 55/100Review: I really love the plot as how Beomgyu is portrayed as the lively character as he is while Chiyoko has a polar opposite side of being harsh that actually pushes the story. However, there was a slight error in pacing and paragraph distribution but apart from that MOA's are obviously getting a splendid read for the year!
