《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'First time' by GoldesttMaknae
Advertisement
I think I should start by sincerely apologizing, because you waited for more than a year for this, which is… far too long of a time. My system of keeping track of my review requests failed me sometimes (as did life, but that's something else), and this request seems to have gotten lost in the chaos for too long. But better late than never, and here we are!
We've got ourselves another BTS fanfic here. We follow Raemin, our main character, in her turbulent school life filled with Jimin, Taehyung, and a whole lot of drama. While I think it's supposed to be Raemin/Jimin endgame, the chapters I've read mainly focused on Raemin/Taehyung, and that means we got ourselves a nice little love triangle.
Or, like… a love pentragram. Because there's been a whole lot of cheating and sleeping around so far.
I'm gonna go ahead and call the plot… mildly weak. It seems to hinge mostly on school drama, which is quite over the top in many instances (the amount of hostility the main character must deal with and the amount of dudes interested in her are, frankly, kind of ridiculous), and that simply doesn't make for the richest experience. Not that it matters, because this is a fanfic, and in a fanfic you can get away with little to no decent plot whatsoever, but… let's say this story just became more of the same at every turn. More cheating, more drama, more betrayals… it's a lot.
The main character, Raemin, also doesn't convince me much. She's got a sharp tongue working for her (like approximately every Wattpad protagonist), but other than that, I don't even know what her interests are. She doesn't seem to have much of a life outside of school, Taehyung, and Jimin. I could even remove school from that list if I wanted to, because she doesn't seem to get assignments of homework anyway. Other than that, I think Taehyung is the only 'character' that didn't feel one-dimensional.

Let's also talk about supporting characters for a second. Why is nearly every person at Raemin's school either a hostile slutty bitch or a fuckboy? And no matter the gender, they are all horny on main, like, all the time. And while horny teenagers are definitely a thing, there's a lot more going on in a high school than dramatic gossip and sex-obsession. Like… actual teaching. And weird conversations about Percy Jackson and atomic bombs (don't ask). Try to make this school and the people in it feel more like actual teenagers in an actual school. Will improve your setting and plot by a mile.
The GPS is decent. Few misspellings and grammar mistakes, but the punctuation could use work. There were often missing periods in dialogue, that sort of stuff. Not too annoying, but it may be an idea to do some more editing.
That said, this was a pretty humourous read, despite its over-the-top-ness and and occasional stealing of jokes from the internet. If you're a fan of BTS and are looking for an entertaining read, this could very well be your thing!
Rating: 5. Entertaining, but needs a lot of work in quite some aspects.

Philippines in Another World (Because Japan is too OP. Please Nerf)
This is the Philippines, the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It is a country of sunny weather and sweet smiles, where life is relatively simple (unless you are into politics) and where people are friendly and warm. However, it is not without flaws.For instance, Philippines suffer corruption in the government like other developing countries as well as decades of insurrection. The rich only gets richer and the poor gets poorer, while since time immemorial the country's denizens have this habit of hating their presidents and loving foreigners more than their own countrymen. It seems nothing has changed much since the famed EDSA Revolution of 1987.The year is 2042. Philippines has reached economic growth comparable to South Korea in 2022. Still, elite families control the government and social justice remains dismal. The younger population became increasingly materialistic while their parents are becoming more and more irresponsible. The problem has shifted from "how to decrease population" to "how to make spoiled kids' and parents' ass off to work".In terms of military power, the country has acquired considerate amount of firepower but remained one of the weakest in the ASEAN region thanks to politics. Worse, China and the USA has declared war against each other after a diplomatic blunder thanks to the incompetence of their respective new presidents. The world is doomed to a world war 3 while the Philippines was caught unprepared for war. Instead of finding solutions, politicians in the Philippines continued to blame their political enemies while the CBCP called everyone to prayer, hoping that God would make a miracle that make Philippines somewhat immune to nuclear weapons. Ironically, the prayer got answered in a way that is unimaginable....
