Third Place goes to!: 

Not My Type Of Guy by: ThatgoofyNerd 

Review: If I'm being honest, this story surprised me. In all honesty, I never would've clicked on it had I not been judging(mostly because it sounds like a love triangle and I always choose the losing ship), but as I read, it seemed like something I knew I'd enjoy. And I did. I liked how it was Allison trying to befriend Noah instead of Noah trying to befriend Allison, because I hate those kinds of stories(don't ask me why. I don't even know). 

 The "mean girl"/love rival/blonde bimbo of the story was there, but she wasn't "oh my gosh you insulted my plate of stinky cheese I'm bawling now so I swear I will ruin your life." Yes, they're both fighting for the same guy, but he's friends with both of them. It's not like he secretly loves Allison but goes out of his way to avoid contact with Alexa. Your grammar is pretty good. I know, I know; "Stick_Dude, you praised everyone else about their grammar too! Isn't it getting a bit meaningless?" . . .Well, yes, okay, I did acknowledge the other two winners on their grammar, but I'm saying this because it's true! I only spotted one or two mistakes([Chapter One] "Wait, have to breakfast before you go." should be "Wait, have breakfast before you go."), but otherwise you were fine. The grammar was just. . .really nice. Overall, it was a pretty unique story(given that romance is, essentially, a cliche genre) and I enjoyed reading it. Keep updating! :D

Congratulations lovely! <3

Coming in at Second Place we have!!: 

Wattpad Memes 2.0 by: hridiv 

Review: Alright, how could I not have this as a winner? It's funny, relatable, and I just love it in general. There aren't any grammar mistakes in the memes(although I wouldn't take my word for it), and it's just. . .well, it's an awesome book. Something I might suggest would be to add your own little tidbits - if the meme was about spamming peoples' PMs, say 'I hate when people do it to me, but I love doing it to them!' - so the readers can connect with you a little more, but this isn't really needed. The memes themselves are relatable enough, so maybe that's just me being weird.

 I know this review is short, but since the book isn't a traditional novel, there isn't much to criticise(ack, sorry if that came off as rude D:). Other than that, I think it's really good(and I maaaaay have read through the entirety of both the first and second meme books, but I won't confirm nor deny this information). 

Congratulations lovely!! <3 <3 

Now I present to you, the FIRST PLACE Winner of Humour!!!: 

Mea Again by: Maya0150 

Review: This was probably my favorite story out of the bunch. If you were to ask me why, I'd say it's because of many things. One, your first five chapters had NO GRAMMAR MISTAKES(that were super obvious). I read it, and the paragraphs flowed. Each speaker got their own line, you used 'me and Tim' instead of 'Tim and I' even when the latter sounded like it belonged more, you put apostrophes in the right space, words weren't commonly misspelled- look, all I'm saying is that your story was grammatically a-okay. 

 Another thing I liked was that all of your characters were introduced slowly and steadily. Your MC didn't say, 'Oh, you haven't met this person yet? Well, I'll just introduce you to the whole freaking town then!' (This is an exaggeration, by the way. Most of the time, this never happens.) Likewise, Maeva's past didn't come gushing out of her during the first five paragraphs. It was revealed in bits and pieces through both thought and memory. Both were vague enough to make me want to keep reading. 

Something I want to address, though(wow, doesn't that sound foreboding); typically, when authors write flashbacks, they italicize said flashback. This is because the past that's being told is technically a character's thoughts, as it is their memory and not someone else's. While I would recommend you do the same for yours, it's not necessary because you have the divider which explains that, 'Yes, this is the past, but look, now we're in the present! Isn't that a neat magic trick?' (Again, exaggerating. Sorry, can't help it.) This might just be a personal preference, though, and if it is, then I'm sorry. 

Why does the reader hear Maeva's conscience, and why does it sound like another being entirely? Is there a reason other than perhaps humor? Does it help bring the plot forward? Would the book suffer without it? If not, I recommend cutting it. If the only point of its presence is for a few giggles every now and then, why keep it? (Maybe your answer is conflict. That's easy. 'Oh, I can't do this, Bob mentally whimpers, then steels himself. No. I am capable of achieving this. I know I am. I- I just. . .oh, who am I kidding?! I. . .I can't. I never will. Even though I want to, it'll never happen.' Boom. Conflict within a character without any mention of another person's input.) 

One last tip I have is to capitalize the titles of chapters, i.e. "Off to a Great Start" or "Burning and Sizzling". I can't really teach capitalization here, but the rule of thumb is generally to capitalize words longer than 3 - 4 letters long. 

(Random sidenote: I really like your aesthetics. They relate to the cover of the story, which I think is really cool. Is that just me? That might be just me.)
