《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.

Collective Thinking
Dyna Graves grew up thinking she was special. An exception to the average. Not necessarily above her peers, but simply outside their context. However, toward the end of her high school life, she started to realize that nobody was really special. At least not in any fantastical way. Just as she started trying to figure out what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, she got an invitation. A psychic institute scoped her out, realized her psychic potential, and asked if she would undergo psionic training at the Carroll Institute. Almost immediately, Dyna realized that she wasn’t quite up to the same level as many of her peers. Surrounded by clairvoyants and mind readers displaying obvious abilities made her own lack of ability all the more apparent. That was, up until the researchers and scientists of the facility realized that there was a bit more to Dyna Graves than met the eye. After an explosive incident during what should have been a routine experiment, Dyna quickly found herself wrapped up in a world of cutthroat espionage. The story can also be viewed on my website, https://www.towercurator.com/collective-thinking/. Cover art by Zoern.
