Honorable Mentions

"Alchemy of souls: the lost relic" by strawberry1d

In this prologue, it was mainly talking about definitions and meanings of words and not about something that will happen in the story, or some glimpse of it, it was mainly focusing on the definitions of the words.

And then there's a small description talking about the characters which ends with a question, which is not actually necessary in the prologues.

The story was good, and quite original, the idea was really nice, but for me the prologue wasn't a prologue.

"Chaos vailed in Harmony" by ivna_jung

So after reading the story, it was clear, funny and everything, with fantasy and superpowers, Blackpink and BTS in one story, that's very rare. But if you read the prologue at first, you won't understand anything, it's just questions, and sentences in bold.

It's not interesting, and from just reading it, you won't have any thoughts of reading the story. I think that it could've been better.

"Will We Alive?" by Suruchieee

So I'm not here to judge based on the title, but from it you can see that the construction of the story, and the grammar are not that advanced, will we stay/be alive?" "Will we live?" May be a better version of it.

The prologue wasn't that interesting, like first, it had 2 prologues, and they only got you to 2 different times of the story, which I find not that interesting.

Reading the story (I used a lottt of google translations) I was only thinking that "this writer has the idea, but is not finding the correct words to express the plot, or to create suspense, so it wasn't my cup of tea.

"Love and pain" by CLUMSYT3

Ok this one wasn't my cup of tea, let me explain. So first the grammar was mid. And the dialogues aren't that interesting. The characters were weird for me, like, the female got saved and ran to her lover, so instead of thanking him or something, she said "why didn't you come earlier" and than went to the car, like someone could've attacked her again while going to the car, in some points it doesn't make sense for me.

"Mystical mutant"by Kikibtsstan

I found the prologue a little too long for a prologue. It was interesting in some parts, and boring and long in others. And this turned the rate into lower, I strongly believe that if it was half of what it is right now, it would be way better + there's from friends to lovers, from lovers to a couple. But being lovers doesn't mean you're a couple? It had some mistakes in it, but in general the grammar was good. For the flow, we can say that it was mixed, sometimes yes sometimes no. So, the story is interesting, but here the judgement is based on the prologue only.

3rd place

"Shipwreck Quest: Point Reyes" by JadeSapphireRuby

"Shipwreck quest: point Reyes" When you first start reading, you can clearly see that the grammar is quite advanced, the description is good, the words were well chosen. There was a flow in between the lines. There was also some music, that made you feel that the story is alive. But reading the prologue, for me, I wouldn't continue with the story, because it talked about a ship that was sinking, you didn't understand the plot that was gonna happen. You only got the sinking part.

2nd Place

"IT WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN" by samine_177

I quite liked this one, it had two points of views, the male lead's, and the female lead's. Two different personalities, one is let's say insecure about herself, and think she's not enough, while he's drooling over her already. It had Hindi in it, but I used translation I. The grammar was good, but the vocabulary could've been a little more advanced. It has flow through the lines.

1st Place

"The eyes of power" by TheWordArtistBooks

I found the prologue thrilling. Like, from the prologue, you can already feel that the story is gonna be good. After reading the story, you can find that the prologue was actually very significant. Let's get back to it, so the grammar was pretty good, no English mistakes (or it's very rare) you get suspense, there's flow in the sentences, it's pretty good.

Congratulations to everyone! Prizes will be delivered in 3 days.
