╰┈➤CHASING STARLIGHT :༊*·˚

https://www.wattpad.com/story/374042726-chasing-starlight

Score: 49/50

REVIEW:

The plot was engaging with a clear beginning and suspense with well developed characters, even the writing style of the author was mind-blowing with a satisfying resolution of the female lead, Laiba. While leaving a long lasting impact in the end with such a unique voice and plot while her story was also new to the table offering a unique and rare perspective, other than that the story was wonderful. The character of the female lead Laiba depicts her determination. Even the quotes used in between the plot were engaging. Other than that you could try adding a bit more vivid imagery in your plot.

SECOND PLACE WINNER FOR 'BEST SHORT STORY' CATEGORY IS........

╰┈➤THE ELLYRIUM SCEPTER༊*·˚

Score: 48/50

REVIEW:

The plot was unique and engaging, hooking the reader through the author's creativity and unique voice. Building up a fictional world with such creativity and showing the sheer determination of the main character to survive in that unknown world with a little blend of modern technology. This story also leaves a long lasting impact in the end with it's message like quote 'Beware what you wish for, the end might not be always pretty' though it could be better by changing it's ending a little as this story had an open ending which many readers do not appreciate this type of ending as they wanted to read happy ending or sad ending, concluded by the author itself. Try including a bit more of the vivid imagery.

THIRD PLACE WINNER FOR 'BEST SHORT STORY' CATEGORY IS........

╰┈➤LET'S GO ON A STRANGE DATE༊*·˚

Score: 47.5/50

REVIEW:

The plot was hilarious with an engaging plot and unique story line with something new with a clear beginning, middle and end, 'Let's Go on a Strange Date' with a fabulous storyline, unreliable to cliches or tropes offering a new perspective in the story. The content provided overall enjoyment in the reading. The author's writing style was concise and engaging to the story. Other than that try to add the translation or meaning of the Korean words used as not every reader could interpret what that means and also try rephrasing some of the dialogues so that they might not sound a little cliche.
