UPDATED: I AM NO LONGER ACCEPTING ANYMORE REVIEW SWAPS FOR NOW.

My requirements:
- Review for review
- Have at least 5-10 chapters (or enough content) for me to provide a proper review
- Not reviewing stories that are guy/guy, girl/girl or smut related (unfortunately it is not my cup of tea)

What I will do for you:
- Proper review that's more than 3 sentences. Usually I will provide comments/suggestions on the five aspects: writing quality, character development, story development and world building. For original novels, I don't like rating update speed (I don't think it's applicable) and 99% of the time will give perfect score.
- Will do my best to read all the chapters you have provided me unless your story have 40+ chapters. In that case, I will make sure to read enough before a review (~15-20 chapters).
- Will do my best to be honest and give suggestions to help the author improve where necessary.
- If after the review, I like the story I will naturally follow it :)

If you want, you can look at the stories I've already reviewed below to see the quality of my reviews.

Here is my novel:
Title: It Had to Be You
Genre: Romance, Drama, Crime/Gang
Status: Ongoing
Synopsis:
Ahn KyungHee wanted nothing more than to escape from her despairing, stigmatizing past as a druggie’s daughter. However, fate had other things in store. Just when she thought she was about to lose all hope, a special person from her past reappeared and gave her a whole new meaning of perseverance.

Despite the thirteen year wait, she once again found her first love; only now he was no longer the teenager brimming with righteous determination she once knew. Now, he was a prominent member of the Yakuza family—a man to be feared and revered, but a man who would do anything to give her the protection she never had, regardless of right or wrong. And in her heart, he would forever be the boy who befriended and held her hand while everyone else ostracized her. Then there was the hotheaded detective who was the bane of her existence, only to realize that she meant more to him than he could ever mean to her. To make matters worse, she could only choose one side: Police or Yakuza?

Light and dark didn’t mix. Just like tigers and dragons could not co-exist.

CLOSED. // ALL REVIEWS COMPLETED

    Chryiss Sure, I'll be reviewing yours first! Edit: Uh, just realize I need an account for that website which I don't use. Do you mind if I do it on this site instead or must it really be the other site?

    lovehalsey Added your story to the queue.

    MyCharacterLeads Added!

            WithJ You do need an account, but it’s just email sign up. I was specifically looking for there though, but if you’re not comfortable with doing it though, it’s ok. (:

                Chryiss I finished your review and posted it on your WN site. Thought I would take longer actually but your chapters were a pretty short read and I got sucked into the world :)

                    WithJ Oh lol, you found the Webnovel version of my story. 😂 Well I suppose I needed a more current review here haha! Thanks for the review, I’ll do yours tomorrow after some sleep. (:

                    Also you were scarily right on the money in your last sentences about MC’s possible conenction this world before. You’re literally the only whole one who pointed that out, so that makes me happy but also worried as a writer. XD I also noted a few days ago that I made MC too mysterious purposefully, so I was going to write more of her inner monologues in future chapters in order to grasp her character better. As you noticed among others, sometimes her calmness/embrace of the world might seem unrealistic. There’s a reason, but yeah, I gotta stop being arcane and just spill the beans lol. As for the prologue scene, that wasn’t exactly to show the mundane, being bored of the world aspect, but the esoteric words after the end of the scene were. The walking in the rain scene was an expanded form of a single paragraph rain internal monologue. I’ve still been debating the necessity of the prologue. :p

                        Chryiss Lol was I? I thought you were dropping a lot of hints with respect to that. When one of the character said lavender coloured magic wasn't common (or something along the lines), I was already suspicious and then the chapter about the Water and Light gods came haha...Well I'm glad I picked up on it. Sometimes I tend to overthink/overanalyze. Anyway I'm really enjoying your story so looking forward to the next update :)

                            WithJ Nah haha. I didn’t really want the review here, but I’m not going to force anyone to post somewhere else or back out on a confirmed review swap due to that. (:

                            Hehe, yes you’re good. Maybe as an over-analyzer myself, that’s why most people didn’t pick up on the many scattered allusions. Most of the time they’re just frustrated or confused about the unrelated ‘info dumps’ or blandness because of the mystery aspect which withholds other info/connections which strings it together. Ah, I made such a weird combination. I do need to balance it more in the rewrite. Anyway thanks again!

                            I’ll start reading on my commute. 😄

                                WithJ Really took my time today reading and reviewing your story. I won’t say more as the longer than usual review and comments say it all.

                                    Chryiss Thanks for the long, thoughtful review and for continuing to read despite the heavy content at the beginning, but well rainbows only comes after the storm lol :)

                                    To everyone else on the queue, I haven't forgotten. Just taking my time going down the list in order.

                                      dusty_angel Hi, I've finished your review :) Great start and excellent narration!

                                      Also looking for more review swaps if anyone else interested since I only have one story left in queue lol. Actually found some promising novels I would otherwise not know about through the review swaps,
