1 Litre of Tears

This is a short Japanese story of two high school students. It tells the history between Asou and his undying love for a young student named Aya Ikeuchi even though she suffers from a progressive and degenerative disease. It mentions various significant emotional moments between the pair and Asou's strong dedication towards Aya until the time of her death.

Personally for me, the author has failed to express the deep connection between the young pair and has not properly portrayed much depth through use of brief writing. While each scene depicted seems lacking in content, I believe that with more in-depth information delving into the personalities of Asou and Ikeuchi, there is a chance of an amazingly interesting and heart wrenching story.

Battle Royale 2012

This fanfic introduces a group of 30 young students from Meadows High School that are subjected to a macabre and brutal game in which they must kill each other off until there is only one left alive. With a pack of necessities including a random weapon, a time limit of four days, and a bomb strapped to each student’s neck that detonates after the time limit is up, they sit in wait, contemplating their grim fate.

With the short number of chapters, the author manages to get across a small glimpse of what’s in store for the future of the students and it doesn’t seem very well written at all. The first chapter shows a long list of bland and generic names for the thirty students and fails to include any kind of attention grabbing statement. The following pages are just as boring and poorly written with no real promise of becoming interesting in anyway whatsoever.

Josh After

This particular story follows a man who has the ability to astral project into a spirit world and is forced  to travel into the dangerous unknown to save his son's body from evil spirits. Facing uncertainty in the form of an old horror from the past, he finds himself in a struggle to save his physical body from being stolen and becoming stuck in another realm for all eternity.

The first chapter is a well written and intriguing introduction which leaves the reader with an insatiable appetite for more in this curiously nightmarish fanfic. At the end of each page the author includes addicting hooks that make you want to pause time and indulge in every aspect of this world encased in fiction and horror.

We Belong Together

This fanfic revels in the close relationship shared by a pair of University students after a year of separation. 

Lee Shin and Lee Kyu won are two young teens with an extremely complicated and messy past who share similarities in their passion and love for music and performing.


Attempting to get through the first page of this abomination will give you a headache. It looks as if it was written by someone equipped with a small grasp on English grammar and punctuation. Either that or a foreigner with English as their second language. Considering the fact that it is based on a foreign show, one can only assume. Aside from the disastrous writing, it offers confusing content in the form of a plot and fails to manifest into anything at all with its abrupt finish with no hint as to why.  Disregarding the never ending, mind numbingly illiterate writing, it could quite possibly have the potential for a decent storyline. But don't get your hopes up.

Raising Gumiho

In this fanfic the author highlights the differences of two immortal lovers who have just reunited after one thousand years. Dong Ju is an immortal being who stumbles upon his former lover Mi Ho who is reborn as a nine-tailed fox. With the newly born Mi Ho, Dong Ju must figure out how to care for his former lover while not drawing any attention from the humans that he despises so much. Eventually he stumbles upon the conclusion that it's not actually him teaching her, but her teaching him. 

The Author of this fanfic implements an array of interesting transitions and manages to show the deep connection between the lead characters. Their personalities are well defined and projected onto the reader as if to show the possibility of somehow relating their experiences to real life situations. The author uses cleverly placed hooks consisting of a wide variety of awe-inspiring statements and exhibits a more than sufficient and surprisingly good use of terminology. Raising Gumiho really is quite a good piece of writing.
