Judging system
0/100 points

Title: 0/5

How intriguing is the title? Is the first word/ all words capitalised? Does it reflect the story?

Cover: 0/5

How creative and original is the cover? Does it make you want to read more? Does it reflect the genre?

Summary: 0/5

Is the summary too short/ too long? Did it catch your attention? Is it professional? Are there any mistakes?

Grammatical/Spelling/ punctuation precision: 0/10

How many mistakes does the story have? Are they bothering or barely noticeable?

(Mistakes include grammatical and present/past tense errors, misspellings, no capital letters at the beginning of sentences, lack of punctuation or wrongly put commas, dots etc.)

Page arrangement & aesthetics: 0/10

Are the paragraphs too short/ too long/non-existent? Is their arrangement messy? Are the chapters too lengthy or too short?
Does the POV change too much or leave confusion?

Originality (Creativity for fan-fiction books): 0/10

Do you feel like you've read this plot somewhere else? Does it contain too many cliches?

Interest: 0/10

How interesting is the book so far? Did you have to take breaks while reading, or find yourself skipping lines? Were you bored (in an unbiased way)?

Main Character development & interaction: 0/10

How much have you learnt about the MC so far? Does he/she synchronizes with the story?

Side characters development & interaction: 0/10

Are the side characters forgotten or inconsistent?

Continuity (reality check): 0/5

If you're not familiar with this term, it is one usually used in movies. If chapters lacks continuity, it means that a scene isn't relevant with the next one,  (e.g. at 11:45 MC is pouring milk in the cereal and begins to eat and at 11:46 MC is shopping at the mall. Unless MC is Superman or a timestopper, continuity has been broken.) Continuity also stands for breaking the 4th wall, or when the narrator says something in a chapter, but then denies it in another, or says something completely different.

Plot development: 0/20

Do the ideas flow nice one with the other? Is the introduction established (time+space [when and where]) in the first chapter? Does the dialogue, narration and description help visualise the plot?

Review (mandatory): minimum 10 lines (long sentences). The review is very important for the writer.
Give constructive criticism, but do not be mean.
