The title is definitely unique and original. The title intrigues readers and leaves a bit of a mystery behind it. I love titles that have a meaning behind them.
Cover (5/5)
The cover was also quite unique. I thought it fit perfectly with both the plot and title of the book. Just from looking at the title, I could tell that readers who like the murdery mystery genre would definitely be interested in checking out this book.
Description (5/5)
I thought the description was good! You wrote enough to pull in readers. I didn't feel like too much was said to spoil the plot which was good. I find it very common for fanfic's description to have a quote and short description. Writers who do this tend not to give enough information that draws me in, but you did that well.
Grammar & Punctuation (19/20)
I recall you commenting on your grammar in the disclaimer (Which is understandable XD). But I thought your grammar was pretty decent for someone who said that grammar "was not your thing." I was actually so immersed into the book that I didn't notice many errors in grammar or punctuation.
Plot & Story-line ( 18.5/20)
I was so happy to have found another book with an original and unique storyline. First off I want to applaud you, author-nim. It is not easy writing a murder mystery, especially a good one at that. But your writing style pulled it off really well. I almost felt as if I was watching a k-drama and I loved it.
Despite the great story-line, there were some parts I was a bit confused on. Especially after the part where Haeun loses Seol and her uncle. Then a few chapters later Haeun suddenly (what I think) is living with Haneul and Dr. Hong. Maybe that's just me being weird but I just found that part with the sudden new characters (not so much with Dr. Hong) slightly confusing.
Pacing (8/10)
This might be me, but there were some times in the story where I was a bit confused about what was happening. Mostly with the time. How many years exactly has it been since Haeun left her dad? When did it happen? What exactly happened to Haeun after her family died? I'm sure that this will be explained in future chapters, but this is going off what I've read so far.
Emotions & Characters (18/20)
Okay I really liked the main character, Haeun. She seems to have an interesting past and she struggles with herself and her father. I thought she was well developed. I thought the other characters were developed well too. But there were some parts I was confused about.
For example I wish there was more background on Seol. How was she friends with Jin and Yoongi? Also I wish you explained more on why Yoongi went to college but also works for a secret agency. Does he have a secret identity as a student or is he genuinely studying? I just wish there was more context.
Ending (N/A)
Since there is no ending, I'm excusing this category. But I do look forward to the ending to your story!
Personal Enjoyment (5/5)
I'm really happy that I got to read your book. I actually love murdery mysteries and I've watched so many k-dramas with that murder mystery plot. So reading your book was definitely enjoyable for me. Good job, author-nim! I look forward to what happens next in 13430.
