The book is really interesting. The style of writing, the descriptions, the plots and characters are on point. There were a few spelling and grammatical mistakes that could be passed as typos. A couple of character decisions were questionable. And the longer a chapter gets, the more tedious it is to read - so the first chapter feels a bit tiring. But once you're through that, the story just gets better.

Description: The description is bit messy, maybe arranging everything a little bit make it look a lot more professional.
First Impression: Everything was written pretty well but, obviously after reading just 3 chapters I found it a little boring (everything is boring in the start lol).
Writing style: I overall loved the way you wrote everything, but I can't exactly figure out what is the thing I don't like about it, even though the way wrote everything was really well,but I can't help but be a little unsatisfied with it (maybe I'm the problem~).
Plot: The plot is great, everything seems like it has a beautiful meaning behind it, moreover I loved how the MC's are, Yoona is a mature but lonely lady I think she relates to many actresses in the film industry (the prologue got me looking at my sides )
May you find your perception of success and good luck for your future works (•ө•)♡

A really satisfactory read. I don't have any complaints that need improving immediately. Just a few tweaks here and there by making the paragraphs shorter.
Judge: astral_being_
Title: The Title represents a song written by Taehyung. It's not cringy. I find it cute. It is neither long nor short. I think the song 'Sweet Night' is somewhat related to the title. [5/5]
Cover: Taehyung looks cool in every picture;) The cover is simple but attractive. It is not messy and it's neat. It matches the story theme. [9/10]
Description: The description is fairly short. Like they say the less information they leave you the more curious you become. Reading the description makes you curious to know the story. But I am suggesting the author add a little more information to it. It doesn't have to be dialogues, You can write how the female lead or Taehyung is feeling at that time. The description is not cringy. You can add more fonts to it to make it look more attractive. [9/10]
First impression: Seeing the book cover, description. It really made me want to read. In the first chapter, I think you should have kept fewer pictures. You already introduced the female lead and her friend in the introduction. You don't need to introduce them again in the first chapter. Try to keep 1-2 pictures and videos for every chapter. I know you are trying to explain more by adding the pictures and videos, but try to explain it in words. [7/10]
Writing style: The writing style is good and it's easy to understand the dialogues and lines. I like how you made the dialogues of BTS members in bold font. The paragraphs in the story are neither too long nor short. they are perfect. [9/10]
Character action and decision: Characters were good with their roles and their dialogues. And Yes the characters acted according to their given role. [10/10]
Plot: The story is unique. The types of marks they get and about soul-mates. First when I read about a soulmate. I thought it is a werewolf book. I guess I was wrong. It has nothing to do with it. Chapter 15 and chapter 18 are almost the same. I don't know whether you did it intentionally or by mistake. I think you should check it once. The main thing is that the story is too long. Taehyung and the female lead meet each other in chapter 24. If you make it that long the readers get bored. They may stop reading your story or skip a few chapters. [14/20]
Explanation: I think you should add more explanation. For example, If the female lead and her friend went to the mall. Describe the mall. Is it big? Is it crowded? So, try to explain more. I know you can do it :) And you explain the emotions very well [3/5]
Sense: The story makes sense and whatever happened in the story is acceptable. [10/10]
Spelling, grammar and vocabulary: I didn't find much mistakes in grammar and spelling. Your language skills are good. Your overall grammar was nice throughout the story. The author did not use any shortcut words [9/10]

Judge: lobely_lobely
Title: 5/5 short and straight to the point. Fits the story as perfectly as Cinderella's shoe fit her. Quite intriguing and made me want to read the book.
Cover: 8.5/10 I give credits to the person that edited the cover because there is nothing I can call it other than a masterpiece. It's edited beautifully. It also gives a vague idea about what the story is going to be like. The one tiny flaw is that it isn't exactly eye-catching. It's unique. But it doesn't stand out much. But otherwise, splendid!
Description: 10/10 BEAUTIFUL!!! Oof I felt so touched when I read that description. Just... Wow. Reading it gave a very brief idea of what was gonna come but at the same time, it kept the reader a foot away from the actual storyline Very well written!Great job!
First impression: 8.5/10 The prologue caught me off guard. It bound a chain between me and my iPad and had "YOU BETTER FINISH THIS STORY WITHIN THE NEXT THIRTY MINUTES OR I WON'T LET YOU SLEEP TONIGHT" written all over it. The way how you have written every single sentence is so impressive that I just could not stop myself from continuing to read. The poems were also a new sight because they aren't found in such books. The story was darker than | had initially thought. But It gave away a very good first impression.
Writing style: 9/10 It's incredible how you have framed each sentence. There is such consistency in your writing. From the beginning till the very end the book was written beautifully. However, there were times when the words sounded a bit passive. When Y/N was mourning, it didn't feel intense enough to have shaken the reader much. There are similar cases throughout the book, but a little focus on that crack is enough to fill it.
Character actions and decisions: 7/10 The protagonist talked about trust and faith so greatly and says that no one should be trusted easily but believes a guy who was charged for harassment almost without any hesitation. The man is ready to 'protect' this girl without any conditions just so she could have a better life. These points felt questionable. Most of the thoughts of the characters were executed very well!There were just these occasional that made the chars' opinions a bit controversial.
Plot: 18.5/20 My my, I haven't been on such a twisted road in a while! In the beginning, it felt like a normal high school story. But as I kept reading more I understood how much deeper it is than just that. It is a really good plot.
Explanation: 8.5/10 INCREDIBLE!! There are no words that describe how well you have explained everything. The only flaw is that you tend to over-explain things. Sometimes it is better to leave some parts unexplained. The immense sadness Y/N feels for her mother is written well. But because of how every tear and each pang of pain is described so wholly, reading those three chapters was boring. Merely stating the pain once is enough. Then keep mentioning the numbness the pain left. That is a good way to not overdo the explaining.
Sense: 7.5/10 I am guessing that the story isn't yet over. So the end was a bit confusing. Also, there were scenes of the black feather and a figure. They were metaphorical replacements for certain things which are so well hidden with the metaphors that I didn't understand what you meant. So just relax a bit with the conceits.
Spelling, grammar and vocabulary: 8.5/10 No spelling mistakes found. Grammar was also almost perfect. The same tense was held onto throughout the entire story. Your word usage is also impressive. However, the usage of punctuations marks was either missing or inaccurate. Just look into that while writing something and you are a pro!
Total: 91/100
Review: I enjoyed reading the book. Sometimes the story felt a bit boring which was probably because of over-explaining things. There were mistakes with the usage of punctuation marks. But all this can be overcome by practice. Just continue writing more stories while paying attention to these minor details. It will make a huge difference. You are already so good. A little practice is gonna improve do many things. I will be anticipating even better works from you 😄

Book: 00:00 Tomorrow
By: Ocean_C
Judge: Nefelibatas_world
Title: 4.5/5 [First of all a big thumbs up for your title! I absolutely loved it and it intrigued by it. 00:00 is the time when a new day starts and I had an idea in my mind why you chose it as the title so I asked you about it and bingo! I was right! Just a deduction of .5 marks because the book is still new and I'm not sure how does it envelopes your whole plot so I'd like to know more. Good job!)
Cover: 9.5/10 [The cover just looks perfect to me. Trust me, I'm not really a very big fan of simple covers and I like manip edits because they depict your plot clearly but yours one was just P to the E to the R to the FECT! It gave me those dark, sad and angst vibes. The photo of tae sleeping with yeontan just went well with your theme. Your title-the font you used-the one which clocks show for time which in fact was your title 00:00 Tomorrow BUT just .5 deduction because it was slightly covering tae's face and you very well know how important the main character's face claim is. Also, the photo of bangtan added at the bottom as they hold a important place in the story and the airplane above them which is actually the center of plot. The cover had everything it needed so a thumbs up from me! Good job!
PS : I was just going through your book again and saw that you changed the book cover :'( Please change it back to the previous one! That was more relatable to the story according to me. This new one kinda looks blank and the colors don't even blend together.]
Description: 9.5/10 [I like how you gave a brief idea of your plot through this blurb. Guess, it must've took you a lot of time to come up with this blurb? I do like the blurb and it made me curious to read the book but I felt there was something missing and it could've been better. Some dialogues maybe?]
First impression: 10/10 [Your book had a great first impression on me trust me! I loved the cover, title and blurb and it made me dive into the book (PS: I read yours first out of all the books I had to judge lol)]
Writing style: 10/10 [Perfect! Just the way I like-neat, clean and descriptive!
PS : Avoid using stylish fonts in the book please! There are a lot of android users and their phones don't support the stylish fonts which makes it unreadable for them. I'm one of them :(1 had to ask my friend for screenshots to read the lyrics and diary Imao! I'm not cutting any marks for it btw :))
Character actions and decision: 9/10 [Your characters acted the way they're described and their personalities matched to their actions so Good job! But I think you kind of lacked in describing their actions clearly, it felt a bit brief to me. So, just a little more work on that and you're good to go!)
Plot: 20/20 [I must say it was Amazing and unique. Out of all the idol books I've been through, yours one intrigued me the most. It didn't contain any clichè fangirlxidol interactions (I'm not saying they're bad tho, there are many cliché unique books out there. So, sorry if I hurt someone's feelings) and I absolutely loved how you unwrapped the scenes chapter by chapter. It was just perfect in my eyes. I legit read all the chapters available in one go and it had me stuck right at the book to know more about what's going to happen next. And, believe me, I was in tears when Jin died! I swear to god I was bawling my eyes out! You're really an incredible writer, you need more recognition!]
Explanation: 4.5/5 [Clap! Clap! Very pretty and beautiful descriptions. I actually live for the descriptions in the story and I loved the ones you wrote. It was neither too much nor too less. .5 deduction for quite too much use of 'say' and 'ask'. There are a lot more words to use instead of them so explore.]
Sense : 9.5/10 [Yes, everything made pretty much sense to me and I didn't find anything weird except one thing and that's how tae slept for like two days straight? You said he had insomnia but as much as I know, insomnia patients actually have difficulty in falling asleep. I asked you about it again then you said he was 'probably' too tired or something that's why. I think, you should've made it more clear.]
Spelling, grammer and vocabulary: 9/10 [You vocabulary was simple and nice the way it was. I'm not saying you to use very heavy words but just explore a bit more because they make your story look better and intrigues the reader but it totally upto you if want to do it or not because there are many professional authors who prefer simple way of writing so don't think too much about it, just give it a try, if you can then very good and if you feel like it would be out of your comfort zone then keep it simple. There were some mistakes in grammer here and there but not too much. I can point them out if you want. Also there was wrong use of punctuation, when you write a dialogue and there's a description before it-you're supposed to use a comma (,) instead of a period (.)
For example :
•Kangtae looks up from the children's books. "Well good afternoon Kim Taehyung-ssi, nice of you to drop in."
Correction:
1. The period after 'books' should be replaced by a comma. 2. Whenever we start our sentence with 'Well', a comma should be used after it. 3. Whenever we use someone's name like you've used Kim Taehyung-ssi, a comma should be used before the name.
The correct way to write the paragraph would be: •Kangtae looks up from the children's books, "Well, good afternoon, Kim Taehyung-ssi, nice of you to drop in."
I found these mistakes; especially the first one almost everywhere so be mindful when you edit your book.)
Total: 95.5/100
Judge's Review : "Your book has the potential and when I said you need more recognition, I mean it! You really do! You've a deep sense of thought and the way you unfold you plot is amazing. Looking forward to read more from you!"❤
