Story Title: Reset

Title 4/5
The title “Reset” doesn’t make you want to read the story the first time you see it, it’s not that original. But if you’ve read “Let’s not” and then see that it’s the sequel you’ll definitely click the link. The title makes you think about what the story’s going to focus on, resetting their relationship or something else?
Poster/Background 5/5
I really liked the poster and the background, it’s a calming colour and it kind of makes me relax. The pictures and the song-lyrics in it are just perfect and fits this story really good. This may be one of the best posters I’ve experienced. (A mistake in the quotes, though; Prest the reset)
Forewords 9/10
The forewords made me think about the different possibilities, and it made me want to read the story even more. The best thing about your forewords is that you mix both quotes from the actual story and questions for the readers, and you also writes a bit about the characters. The sneak peeks = bonus!! Good job.
Creativity/Originality 12/15
Of course, it’s hard to come up with something that’s original and really makes the readers think beyond their usual way. This story kind of reminds of others I’ve read in the past, but you’ve still managed to make this story yours by putting in little hints of your own personality and humour. That makes this a lot easier to read than the usual stuff.
Plot 16/20
As I’ve said before, with the originality, it’s hard to come up with a plot and still make it yours. When I read this it could at times seem a bit boring and dull, but at some points there are some drama happening, just be sure to make that possibly even clearer, a bit more emotions maybe?
Grammar/Vocab/Spelling/Punctuation 12/15
You have some minor spelling and grammar errors, like past and present tense(watch out). Also remember when you’re using ’ (their - they’re/they are, your - you‘re/you are etc.). But all in all, your vocabulary seems to be in good shape and punctuation seems alright.
Writing Style 9/10
Your writing style is really good and easy to read, if you try to catch up with the minor spelling and grammar mistakes, you can be a really good writer.
Overall Enjoyment 15/20
Sometimes a bit confusing, but I manage to catch up. I have to say that I didn’t have this huge urge to continue reading this story, it just didn’t appeal to me like that. At some parts this can be a bit confusing and maybe a bit boring, but if you work a little on those points, I’ve got faith in you for doing great further on. All in all; thank you for not making my ‘job’ too hard :’)
Total: 82/100
