First of all, what are those graphics? Aren't gradients supposed to be put over pictures instead of under them? Also I cannot stand this theme, no matter how many times I see it. The short plot is already very long and very boringly written, I didn't even read the extended one which was almost a fucking novel by the way. Also the character pages confuse me and look unorganisated, it's a no from me.
OH MY GOD YOUR THEME IM SCREECHING *heart eyes emoji* I think I’m in love with it! Your colors are amazing, the graphics are simple but fabulous, everything just looks so tied together and cute! Harry Styles and Calum Hood on the main? Are you trying to make girls everywhere faint? Ugh those boys are so gorgeous. I’m not a huge fan of your plot being on the side like that. I know it’s not your full plot but it’s too long to have there. Maybe just do a short summary there instead? Also personally I’m not a fan of future or past based rps but I still think this is fabulous, just not something I’d join. Your plot seems really interesting though so great job guys! Honestly, I don’t really see anything I’d like to change. 10/10 and a rec for you!
Hello there! May we please get a first look review of our RP? It would be a big help. Thank you! Have a great day! :)
URL & ICON ▬
Your URL is perfect for your roleplay ~ no complaints at all ~ I also like your icon. The word may be BIG but it’s clear and easy to read, all while matching, so I think it’s a success !
THEME & COLORS ▬
The color scheme has a lot of potential ! The shades of green you’ve chosen are very pretty, and it gives your game a youthful, fresh look that is appropriate for this time of year … but it still has dark undertones to it, which certainly suits your plot since Verden is a brand new environment that has the ‘unknown’ hovering over it menacingly ~ I really like that. The only color I’m not too thrilled with is the white ; I’d try to darken it just slightly, just so it’s not as distracting. A textured background also couldn’t hurt ! THIS SITE is really helpful … you can use the same color you have as a background already and add subtle patterns to it, just to round off your theme ! I’d suggest doing the same for your navi page, too !As nice as the colors are, I don’t like is the theme at all ; not because it’s simple, because I am absolutely a minimalist when it comes to roleplay themes, but because of the way it’s laid out. I have to hunch forward and duck my head down to read your entries, and to be quite honest if I wasn’t asked for a review I probably wouldn’t put up with that for very long ! I would aim for a theme with a sidebar. Your plot and rules don’t need to be on top, and since members still need to utilize the navigation page to get through the extended plot and the characters regardless of them being on top, there’s no real purpose for the header anyway.As far as your graphics are concerned, I like the character graphics a lot ! They’re simple and very pretty ! The game’s banner is nice, but I don’t like the illustrations layered on top of the city landscape ; it pops TOO much. Your headers are really, really beautiful, but the dark green seems out of place albeit it being part of the gradient you’ve used. Since you’ve used that color as accents up until then, it looks mis-matched.Another suggestion I have is to change the colors of your ‘bold’ and ‘italic’ texts - it’ll really improve the way things are read. The font in your text headers are smaller than your body text, so I’d try and increase that, too, if possible.
PLOT & RULES ▬
I love your plot ! There is so much you can do with a large group in a setting like this one, and I imagine you have something up your sleeves as far as twists and turns go based on your descriptions - I have a feeling something ominous is coming ! There are elements of the plot that remind me of ‘Battle Royale’, which I absolutely adore. I’m sad to say I would have missed out on this wonderful game if I had been a casual lurker, because as I said earlier - the theme is uncomfortable from a reader’s standpoint ( Minho and Key both agree ! ). The visuals you’ve provided for your settings are beautiful - the graphics are neat and tidy, the images are high quality, and everything looks so amazing. I’m really impressed with how much you fleshed your island out. It’s great to see an original game like this pay so much attention to details !As for your rules, I don’t see anything missing, and everything is very reasonable ! Three days of inactivity is a bit strict, but I understand you want to keep your dash active.
FACE CLAIMS & BIOS▬
I appreciate that you do have some diversity in your roles ! A little more couldn’t hurt at all ( Michael B. Jordan ? Chanel Iman ? ), but you’re a very new game so there is always time to add more canons. It took me a long time to figure out that your ‘CANONS’ header is actually clickable ! I initially thought your page was still under construction, since the other two headers on the page have content underneath them so I was expecting there to be under that banner as well.I don’t find listing the characters above the navigation very functional. You can learn the same stats by looking at their bios, which are certainly things you want to encourage your members to read. If they have the information spoon fed to them like that they may not take the time to dive into the character’s personalities and make sure they understand their connections. I would move this content two additional, separate pages - one to list the Valt and Velhav characters, and another to list taken face claims. Once you begin to accept and your list of stats gets longer, so will the page. It’ll be an overload of information, too !
ADMIN ACTIVITY ▬
I’m so thrilled to see that you’ve linked your tags to track - that’s such a simple, yet very thoughtful step that many admins forget to take, and it shows how forward thinking you are ! Just like with your elaborate setting pages, I can tell you really care about your member’s sense of ease.The way you answer questions are helpful and very sweet - I can feel your warmth and enthusiasm through your responses ! While I don't like mascots, you don’t use gifs that show stoic or disgusted expressions like many admins do to I can tolerate that !I would stay to a promo blog to lure in members, though. Too many posts begging for applications can turn some people off !
OVERALL GRADE▬

Your great plot is overshadowed by your theme ! I hope it doesn’t effect your member count, because I appreciate all your hard work. Good luck, and please beware of colds ~ stay healthy ~xxx JONGYUN
Hello, Lizzie! Do you mind giving our roleplay a quick opinion? It is very much appreciated. Thank you for your time! :)
Ooh, this theme is cool! I like the graphics, the color scheme and everything about it! Only one tiny suggestion though, change the font size, it's quite difficult to read. Your nav page looks great, highly easy to use and looks very neat and tidy. I like your futuristic/dystopian kind of feel to your plot, and set in a school. I don't think I've seen a plot like this before really, great job!
