First, let's make thing clear: A review is an opinion that has as an objective to help or to congratulate someone about his/her job.
What does this mean?
1-It's an opinion, it's stupid to think that your review is true.
2-A destructive critic, al least for me, it's not a review.
3-As in any art content, nobody gives you the right to tell if something is good or bad as at only truth. This statements should start with the phrases "for me", "in my opinion", etc. Remember that it is an opinion.
Now, how to difference contsructive from destructive? Well here there are some REAL exapmles:

The chapters are short. Really, really short.
And the plotline is weak.
And everyone treats you like a VIP.
'...then afterwards, Scardy's Mother got kidnapped by the same airship.'
Could you elaborate? Make it something like this.
'As they left the community building, a bubbling noise was heard. It was the airship again! It descended slowly, and touched the ground with a thump.
A beam, the exact same one that took Ruach away, shot out, and grappled Scardy's mom in a burst of gravity. Then she floated slowly into the hatch where the beam had come out of, while she flailed about and screamed to be put down.
Click went the hatch over Scardy's mother, and the airship took off in a cloud of smoke. By the time it cleared, the airship was no more than a small blob in the sky. Much too far for Scardy to reach.'
Isn't that much more detailed?
It's not as bad as previous submissions I've seen *cough*Bogdan*cough*, but not good, either.
3/10
This is a constructive review, but it's not perfect.
-Talks about what should be improved.
-Takes bad parts and shows how to make them good
-Has a rate that makes sense with the rest of the review
-Doesn't point out anything good from the story (if there was none, then this would get a 0/10)
-Makes a bad mention that has nothing to do with the story.
My point is, at least this has a point, and it's not hurting the others.

This story is over? Really? Good. Because it sucked. a lot.
Ok, do I even have to point out the negative of this? I wouldn't be surprised if this offended the writter.

This seems to lack any effort whatsoever, and I could tell that from first glance. Looking closer at it, you prove my case. There is no development in your story whatsoever. The plot is minimal and unoriginal, and the characters are bland. Also,
The next story will come out in 3 months
You can't be serious with this. There are so many things wrong with this one statement that I can't describe.
I could have written this in about 2 minutes. Maybe less. Put more effort into your stories, because right now you have a lot to learn.
This review is quite destructive. It doesn't add nothing at all or points out the positives, the only thing I can save is the example (yeah, he/she couldn't be serious with that.) and the last sentence. The rest is seems preety useless.
Also, who cares about if you can do it better or in less times or bla bla bla. Nobody cares about that either.

One of the greatest challenges of writing is action scenes. There must be just a perfect amount of description, text, and dialogue. It seems to me you guys have a bit to work on, not that I don't fail as well. I read through Chapter 41, and what I really can say is just NOOOO to the colouring of the words. Font size changes aren't the best as well. Keep it white, and where needed, use italics.
The black colouring makes it extremely hard to see the word and is therefore pointless. The plot just jumps up and down, and just doesn't conenct smoothly. You're definitely missing out a lot in description, dialogue is way to overused here. Correlate the characters to their senses. Describe the area around them. Add much more action-y text to make it more interesting!
I got bored almost 5 times through the chapter and I just skimmed. "KyRay" is so freaking overpowered, make the characters more realistic! Everyone has their limits, and I'm not seeing any. It reminds me of a little child's fanfic that's just so surreal and not real at all.
Spelling and grammar was very good, which was nice...
So really, I think you guys have a WHOLE LOT to work on. Hope JRFD takes some of these points into account and implements them into te next chapter.

This is how any review should be, points out both positives and negatives, and gives a good conclusion.
Well, I don't want to see this as you are probably seeing it. This is NOT an agresive statement, or a self declaring to be perm-banned, it's just something that I thought, and I think it's right. Don't post just to post, think. Because if not, you'll be even more "stupid" than the writter of the ♥♥♥♥ story is. Feeling someone ashemed of his own work is not what reviews are about, it's to help the progress, and expres your opinions. If you wanna review, make full reviews, don't put insults and stuff like that, that doesn't prove you're smart, it proves you are arrogant and stupid.
Off-topic: How many seconds before someone locks this?
over a few bad reviews. That should've been wake-up call to start learning how to write correctly, but instead, he took it as the site ganging up on his ♥♥♥. Eventually, we got fed up with it and we DID gang up on his ♥♥♥.
