Judge: ggukminheart

book : bangtan one-shots 
author : Sugakookie-nd-tae 

cover : (7/10) I think it's very pretty. the black swan cover of bts is extremely eye catchy and I believe that it completely suits the theme of the book. 

title : (10/10) suits the book perfectly. 

blurb : (8/10) the blurb given in the description made me curious and it also had me wanting to read the book then and there. 

pace : (8/10) since each and every short story had a different pace, I'm judging this on an overall basis. I did think that pace was apt (considering the fact that this is a short story) but increasing the word count would've looked more amazing. 

writing style : (16/20) undoubtedly amazing but I can not give this a 20 because like I said, I would've liked each and every part to be a little bit longer.

grammar : (20/20) found no errors. 

overall enjoyment : (18/20) everything was absolutely amazing. I loved how everything was a mixture of mystery, love and murder but! a few of them were also very predictable. 

total : 87 /100

______

book : pretty marriage little vows 
author : Seong_Grace 

cover : (7/10) the backdrop is extremely beautiful but a better font style would've made it even more pretty. 

title : (10/10) absolutely apt for the plot. jk x female lead readers out there would be intrigued. 

blurb : (7/10) the blurb gives us a tiny insight into what we're going to read further but the only error I found was the grammatical one. if provided the luxury of time, then I'd recommend the author to use grammarly <3 

pace : (7/10) I understand that this is one-shot but despite of that, I found the pace extremely quick. I would suggest trying to include a few more descriptions or backstories to improve the reading experience. 

writing style (15/20) : the writing style was in first person pov and the only suggestion I have is to again improve on the grammar because I found a lot of grammatical errors in between. 

grammar : (15/20) : once again, I found too many grammatical errors and I'm stating this from the perspective of a reader, too many grammatical errors often pulls the experience of the readers down.

 overall enjoyment : (16/20) the story was cute. really. but the grammatical errors prevented me from enjoying it thoroughly and I believe that a few scenes could be delivered more beautifully. 

total : 77/100 

______

book : oneshots | bts 
author : Mrs_Namnam 

cover : (9/10) suits the book perfectly but the fonts could be a little more beautifully edited 

title : (10/10) perfect 

blurb : (7/10) the blurb tells the readers to enjoy reading and believe me when I say this, if one were to choose to spend their time on your book, they would absolutely never regret it one bit.  

pace : (8/10) when i judged the book, it only had KNJ's one-shot but don't worry, I have read the rest as well. I just wanted to say that the author is gifted but the pace is a little bit quick though I know it's a one shot 

writing style : (20/20) believe me, if I had the chance to, I'd give the writer more. the writing is chef's kiss. 

grammar : (20/20) I found no errors. I loved it. 

overall enjoyment (19/20) : readers would fall in love with everything about each and every one shot. i love how the story begins and i also love how it ends. 

total : 93/100 

______

book : bts one-shots 
author : ViniShah2 

cover : (8/10) suits the book but the fonts could be changed for an even more better outlook. 

title : (10/10) apt for the book 

blurb : (7/10) it gives the reader an insight into what they're going to read but i wouldn't call it intriguing. 

pace : (8/10) I found it so cute. so much fluff and I loved it. and I also loved taetae's cute picture that was attached at the beginning. but. the pace was kind of fast (I know it's one-shot but despite of that) 

writing style : (15/20) I found a few grammatical errors in between and I believe that attaching a lot of gifs towards the end could be avoided. 

grammar : (18/20) found a few here and there and I'd recommend grammar.ly to rectify these small errors.

overall enjoyment : (17/20) it was funny. It was fluffy. it was cute. but. it had a few grammatical errors and the pace could have been set better. 

total : 83/100

_______

author : dwcarlson 
book : precious gems 

cover : (10/10) the park jimin in the cover is exactly the park jimin inside the book. 

title : (10/10) perfect. that is all I have to say. because when a person reads the fic, they'd understand how apt the title is. 

blurb : (10/10) so so so suitable and it kind of sparks a lot of curiosity within a reader 

pace : (9/10) this is the only complaint I have and it's the fact that the female lead fell for jimin a little early. but excluding just that, everything is absolutely perfect. 

writing style : (20/20) chef's kiss. that is everything I have to say. it had me hook. it had me smitten. 

grammar : (20/20) found no errors. perfectly written. absolutely amazing. 

overall enjoyment : (20/20) provided the chance, i would give more. but since I'm speechless with how beautiful the fic is, all I have to say is that, I am completely in awe with this fic. 

total : 99/100 

________

book : KNJ one-shots (smut) 
author : iMeGiNeSoN

cover : (8/10) really nice but I highly recommend a prettier font with the same shade 

title : (9/10) the title says KNJ one-shots (smut) yes, I read the first part and it had smut while the parts that follow did not. 

blurb : (8/10) the blurb gives the reader an insight into what they can expect but I'd recommend adding a little more to it's description to intrigue the readers even more so. 

pace : (8/10) it was a tad bit too fast for me but excluding that, it was neat. 

writing style : (16/20) the writing was good. so were the words that were used, in the sense the flow was smooth but I found grammatical errors. 

grammar : (16/10) I found grammatical errors and since we're talking about grammar specifically, I would recommend grammar.ly to rectify all the mistakes. 

overall enjoyment : (16/20) a good read but the grammatical errors could be thoroughly proof read or rectified and the pace could've been set more neatly in order to make a reader's experience much better 

total : 81/100 

________

title : still bangtan 
author : _mikromosmos_ 

cover : (10/10) it's absolutely suitable and I also loved the font style 

title : (10/10) conveyed what the fic had in store for me and the title also held an emotional depth to it. 

blurb : (8/10) the blurb did give me an insight of what I was about to read but I think that a little more description could've been given in order to spark a little bit of curiosity in to the reader

pace : (6/10) it was a tad bit too quick for me. a little bit more of descriptions and background stories could've been added. 

writing style (15/20) : the writing was good but it can be improved a lot in order to capture the reader's attention even more so. 

grammar : (15/20) I found a number of grammatical errors here and there and I'd recommend using google docs or grammar.ly in order to draft any future or on-going works, it's really helpful. 

overall enjoyment : (15/20) it was cute. I had actually expected something extremely emotional, but, though it was emotional, it was also funny and very army-like which made it super cute but, the pace could've been a tad bit slower and the one-shot could've been a little more lengthier. 

total : 79/100 

_______

author : WTF_Niu 
book : numbers 

cover : (10/10) definitely a perfect ten because it's so eye candy and so so apt and screams mobster kook. 

title : (10/10) another perfect 10 because the title seems mysterious the first time one takes a look at it and intrigues them to know what the fic is about. 

blurb : (8/10) the reader gets an insight into what the fic is actually about but the author could use different words or form even more interesting sentences to keep the readers hooked. I highly recommend adding dialogue previews into the description. 

pace : (7/10) I would've liked a little more information on the protagonists' background but apart from that, it was neat. 

writing style : (16/20) the writing was good but I'd recommend not using bold italics for the dialogues. it kind of stands out oddly (but this is merely my opinion because if you love using bold italics then please do not stop because you do you) 

grammar : (17/20) the writing style was good but I found a few grammatical errors here and there and I'd highly recommend using google docs or grammar.ly to draft. 

overall enjoyment : (16/20) it was a good read but a little more improvement on proof reading the grammatical errors would be impressive.

total : 84/100

author : giakfanfiqs 
book : heartsick bliss 

cover : (10/10) really suited the title and the plot. 

title : (10/10) the title was in my perspective, deep enough to deliver the depth of what the plot held for the readers. 

blurb : (9/10) really really loved the way you had with words and the blurb sort of intrigued me to read further on. 

pace : (8/10) the pace was good but it could've been much better with added descriptions about the background story or about how the characters came to be what they are.

writing style : (18/10) the writing was good. I loved how the author delivered angst. I also loved the ending and the way the author had a way with words in between the story (with regard to delivering the characters' emotions) 

grammar : (16/20) I did find a few grammatical errors here and there and I'd highly recommend using google docs or grammar.ly to draft. 

overall enjoyment : (18/20) the angst was beautifully painful and I enjoyed every second of it. 

total : 89/100 

________

author : Jmjkjs 
book : sorry jimin-ssi 

cover : (9/10) I really liked how both the book screamed angst at the sight of the cover but the the font style could be changed in order to make it more aesthetic 

title : (10/10) completely makes sense given what the story is about and also gives the reader an insight into the fic 

blurb : (10/10) I really really loved how the blurb was beautifully written. it had a poetic touch to it. 

pace : (7/10) I loved how the prelude began with jungkook's pov from the present and then dived into their past but I believe that it was a tad bit real quick. 

writing style : (17/10) the writing was good, it had me hooked. especially the angst and regret coming from the protagonist was well written.

grammatical errors : (17/20) I found grammatical errors here and there and I'd highly recommend using google docs or grammarly to draft.

overall enjoyment : (16/20) I liked the plot but I would suggest adding a little more description to all the characters' lives and also jumping in between their past and present lives.
