Black and White, Love and Hate


Author: ltrrcrazy
Title: Black and White, Love and Hate
Reviewed by Natasha
Title: 7/ 10
The title of your story “Black and White, Love and Hate” totally fulfill the storyline even though the words ‘black and white’ gives a clear indication of what the story is going to be about.
Cast Used: 5/5
Despite the casts and pairings were quite common in Winglin, but its’ still quite interesting to see them again. Besides the TVB stars, other idols such as Edison, Gillian and Leo are also included in this story, starring as minor casts too.
Foreword: 6/10
Introduction is too brief. However, it can be further improved if you make use of the forewords to introduce the development of your characters and the story.
Poster & Background: 6/ 10
I think some pictures of the casts does not suit the story. For example, Ron and Charmaine’s pictures. In this story, Ron is a gang leader, so obviously his character in it will be those suave and calm headed type. I don’t really get the ‘feel’ of it upon seeing his picture on the poster. The same goes for Charmaine. Except that she’s more to the ‘law by law, book by book’ Madam and those ambitious type.

Plot: 13/15
The plot was good. All I know it keeps me engrossed a lot! Especially when you portray the relationship of the casts extremely well regardless of love, friendship or brotherhood. There’s always some climax in it, which make me anticipate what will happen next. Most importantly, it’s unlike other stories on Winglin, which usually end it with a ‘happily ever after’ ending. But rather, excluding the fact that you continue a sequel, the ending for every casts is consider quite well written Big thumbs for you!

Originality & Creativity: 12/15
Sometimes, I can’t help comparing your story with some scenes from HK dramas and some movies. But anyway, your storyline was very engaging. And you build some suspense in it too, therefore, making it very original.

Language (Spelling and Grammar): 7/ 10
So far so food, I have not spotted any spelling mistakes or typo error. However there are a few parts, which I think you can do better in improving the sentence structure.

Overall Enjoyment: 18/ 20
I absolutely LOVE this story so much!! Although I’m more a big fan to EG, but the story and the castings for it really make me fall in love with your story so much that I got to chase after your sequel now.
Reader Friendly: 4/5
I’ve seen those comments left at your site and I think is a big plus! Obviously your readers clearly enjoy reading this story! That’s why they have such strong emotions over the death of Ron and the ending too. The bond between you and your readers pretty much speaks for itself. =)
Bonus mark!
