daphnechimm thank you so much for requesting a review - I hope it's helpful!

⭐️ COVER ⭐️

3.5/5

I think the text is easy to read and clear, and I like the picture you've chosen. However, it seems a little bland and doesn't immediately capture the reader's attention. Potentially you could think about linking it more the story rather than just to Taehyung, maybe showing him performing or linking him more to music.

⭐️ DESCRIPTION ⭐

3/5

I like how it's very clear and let's the reader know what the story is about, but it feels a little simplistic. Maybe expand a little upon your main character about what kind of person she is. As well as this, maybe don't explicitly say that your characters are going to fall for each other just because it ruins the suspense of the book.

⭐️ PLOT ⭐️

3.5/5

I like how you've focused on one of Taehyung's passions to make the whole book centred around, and it clearly shows what a dedicated ARMY you are.  I think the plot sounds very promising and interesting, with some points which can be expanded on and developed.

One thing which is just a pet peeve of mine is 'insta-love' (people falling for each other the moment they see each other), and so I'd like to see more romantic tension between the pair before they get together. I think it feels like the attraction between them is a bit rushed considering the time frame they've known each other for.

⭐️ WRITING ⭐️

4/5

I didn't notice any huge grammatical errors which made the writing really easy to follow. I thought your generally had a good balance between dialogue and description. I think at points you could expand more on the deeper feelings of your characters because at points their emotions feel a little superficial.

⭐️ CHARACTERS ⭐️

3.5/5

I think the portrayal of Taehyung began as quite cliché playboy at the start of the book which made him quite unlikable which is clearly not the impression you want to give off to the reader. However, I thought you developed his character better in the later chapters and I hope that you continue to show the different sides to him.

Again, I just think look further into the emotions of the characters and their lives to see what depth you can pull out from them.

⭐️ SPECIFIC POINTS ⭐️

You mentioned not feeling motivated to write anymore which is something I deal with a lot. Personally, when I don't feel like writing I take a little break from the book for about a week or so just to stop myself getting sick of the storyline. As well as this, I find planning the plot in advance helps me to feel more motivated to write because I know where the story is going.

I think you have a good premise for a great book, just develop your characters more so they feel more authentic. Give them real emotions that feel natural and raw, and allow them to grow throughout the book!
