Title: 4/5
Your title was relevant to your story, and you capitalized all the letters. Kudos to that! But I feel like this title is a bit too common for fics, and it didn’t catch me on first glance.

Poster/Background: 10/10
Pretty pretty =]. I don’t really grade this portion, because the appearance shouldn’t have any affect on the story. Like what the meddlesome elementary school librarians say, don’t judge a book by its cover ;).

Forewords: 5/10
As soon as I read the forewords, I wanted to press the backspace to read a different fic. It didn’t really hook me, and I already got the whole gist of the story before reading it.

Plot: 8/15
Not the best plot I would come across, but the overall course of your story went well. None of the scenes went off guard neither were any of them totally irrelevant towards the chronology.

Creativity/Originality: 6/15
The concept of a woman forced into a marriage with an aggressive man is quite common. I think I’ve read two other stories relating to this story’s idea.

Spelling/Grammar/Vocabulary: 6/10
The grammar wasn’t too bad, but I noticed some missing punctuations here and there. The story also kept on reverting from past tense to present and vice versa, which made it kind of bothersome to read. Your vocabulary was too simple and straightforward. Beware of grammar mistakes, and try to spice up your word choice.

Flow: 9/10
Your story maintained its pace, and it did not end abruptly. Not bad, not bad.

Characterization: 5/10
By reading your story, I found out that Baron is an aggressive man who reminds me of Hitler. But for the two main characters, I couldn’t really grasp their personalities besides the fact that Ella is a bit on the vulnerable side and Chun still really likes Ella. Maybe you could elaborate more on their appearance, the way they view their surroundings, their likes and dislikes, etc…

Writing Style: 10/10
I liked your writing style, and I had no problem with it. Just be aware of the grammatical mistakes =).

Overall Enjoyment: 3/5
Honestly, this fic did not keep me interested. The intro didn’t hook me, I spotted a few grammatical errors here and there, and the story was a bit predictable.

Total: 66/100

Bonus: 0/5

Overall Total: 66/100
