《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》#4: 'complicated love' by BadAssPinguin
Advertisement
hello good people who read this!
Today, I'm happy to announce the first fanfic review in this book! Complicated love!
This fanfic is a Bts fanfic, Bts standing for Bangtan Boys, a South Korean boyband.
I had never heard of 'em before. I'm like Patrick fricking star. I live under a rock.
(I did look them up and listened to their songs before reading; I think their music is really good, so go check them out!)
Seeing as I'm not that familiar with Bts and its members, I might not be able to write an good review. Please bear with me.
So the story is about Lalisa, a girl who moves in with her internet friend, Park Jimin, a member of Bts. I never hear any of the band members sing or mention their careers, so I'm guessing this is an AU.
Like I said, I don't know much about Bts, so I can't say if you got their personalities right. I do know that some minor characters (Angel, Bora), felt a little weird. Angel was a bit of a cliché and Bora felt unbelievable. Would the average person really do that in real life?
BadAssPinguin, the author of this story, is Dutch, like me, but the book is written in English. The grammar and spelling are really good, few mistakes here and there, but seriously, a lot of Dutch people are bad at English spelling and grammar.
Heck, a lot of Dutch people are bad at Dutch spelling and grammar.
TIME FOR TIPS!
Lalisa was an OC, I guess, and she was just your normal OC. Not too cliché, not too memorable.... she could use some extras? A little more personality?
The "OC moves in with band members" thing has been done before. Using an overused plot isn't that bad, but again, maybe something extra? Something to make the book stand out in a sea of other books?

Another thing: the band members all introduce themselves like this.
"Hi, I'm Hoseok!"
"I'm Namjoon."
"Hello, I'm Jungkook, pleasure to meet you!"
All in the same chapter, in a big introduction round.
Introduction rounds are generally a big no for me, but I always see it in band fanfics. The other band members are always introduced like this, and sometimes they even... fade from the story when they're not important anymore. So maybe give introduce the members in a more original way?
Lastly, another cliché band fanfic thingy: the fandom jokes.
Every fandom has a running gag (or more than one!), a long-running joke.
I saw the 'stolen jams' thing, decided to look it up, and I was right: running gag. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
If you see a particular thing being used in every fanfic in your fandom, don't use it. I recognized this as an overused joke and I didn't even know Bts.
This happens in a lot of band fics, by the way. I almost everyone.
I rate this book: a 6.5!

New hope online
*as of right now this is my second time writing all this I really hate doing this twice in a row. well this story was made by me and a few friends ideas and stuff most of the pictures owned are not mine but some will be and every picture I use is respectively owned by their creators. Now let's go to the story. FYI this is my second time doing this so I'm a little pissed so I probably will not have good grammar and stuff so whenever you guys see something wrong why don't you come help me to make this story great peace out and have fun* The year is 2009 there's a war going between robots and human Arnold [email protected]&**&6 . ah crap that was totally my fault wrong story ok here we go the real story. The years 2086 and life is hella awesome. in about the year 2065 a new fun toy came out they called this VR. but VR isn't just a toy anymore. Vr changed the life of everyone in America but really all over the world . the thing that made VR awesome was that you can know go to work from your house laying in the bed with a VR helmet on making twice as much money for the hours you put in. you can know go to school from your house learn for a full 6 hours in VR but than when you get out its only been one hour in real life . there are so many uses that people can use VR for. of course military personal use it aswell to train there minds and stuff. But to me this really doesn't mean much. The real beauty in VR is the gaming i love gaming with a passion me and my family are gonna get this awesome game called new hope online. This game is a mmo RPG it of course has the typical RPG quest adventures and a lot of other things that i cant explain. but generally I'm super excited for only 2 things in this game. The first is that there is a cohesive and reactive world. Ok ill just give you a small example. so lts say im an adventurer and im killing goblins i go every single day for the next 3 year with 4 of my freinds to kill goblins after a while if you hunt destroy or do anything to envirment fror prlonged periods of time the enviroment will etheir act violently and try to destroy you or the worldwill remove that resource from that area. which i think makes total since. ok last but not least you know how nearly every single mmo lets you play as the adventurer only. Well thats changed. In this mmo you are allowed to be a monster if you want thats freaking awesome i love it. The object of a monster is to become strong enough to etheir, make a dungeoun, own a clan/ tribe. generally there are apperently alot of ways to win as a monster but since this is a mmo of course theres no real winning. But as a monster everybody is aiming for the top. another objective is to kill the demon king and take hismantle as hahaha demon king. oh i totally forgot to introduce my self my name is roin . like coin but with a r instead of an c . this is gonna be my story so peace out and read the story . * the star before a sentence means me as an author is talking ok this is explaining meanings RPG=Role Playing Games MMO=Massively Multiplayer Online Vr = virtual reality
