i liked this story quite a bit! the original fic was a very interesting choice and i liked what the remixer did with it. though the writing had some awkward spots, i was able to get through the whole thing with little problem. it made me laugh out loud (quietly 'cause i'm at work mind you), and that's definitely a good thing.
to be able to write long fics without losing the plot halfway / losing track of what i'm writing. also, to write a fic that readers will remember even hours after they finish reading.
i'm just writing more, reading more, and learning / absorbing from all sources (fics, books, etc). it's coming along decently, except that the sheer lack of comments is driving me up the wall because without comments, i can't tell what i need to improve on.
the writing style was a little... weird? idk from the beginning i was thrown off by how much straight up telling the author was doing, like throwing details of how kyungsoo and baekhyun interact in when they could have just shown as much through the interactions. i also felt like their conversation got really deep and sad really fast, and the comments about kyungsoo being an empty shell felt a tad melodramatic when i knew nothing about kyungsoo's life at the time. the general story was okay, though a little predictable. a lot of the more metaphorical language was lost on me because it came in at random times and was more style than actual substance. for example, the line Kyungsoo starts to re-learn colors when Jongin locks their hands together; it feels a lot like a promise. i don't get how colors come into play, even with the lines that follow. color just seems an easy way to get some flowery language in there. it doesn't have any meaning to it.
the story was ambitious and the remixer did a good job of expanding on the original. this review ended up being longer just because i have no other fic to read.
lately i've been wanting to read some deep and heart wrenching het fics. so dear meme, please rec me your favourite het fics from any fandom, if you have any.
