The Ōkami Awards [Closed]

Romance Results

First of all, I would like to say congratulations to every single one of the participants. Putting yourself out there is not easy, and I commend you for it. I would also like to give one last shoutout to AziaElga  and ArkAngel5933  for their incredible work. I genuinely cannot thank them enough.

Now, the moment you've been waiting for.

I am posting everyone's breakdown (averaged from 2 judges). A couple of participants will get a review, which can also be DM'd to the author upon request. Participants, you might be DM'd with the option to receive advice. You are welcome to refuse or to ask for it later. If you're not DM'd about advice in the next week, you may go to your judges to ask for additional comments, but I can't promise anything. Judges do not owe you anything, and no harassing of the judges will be tolerated. Winners, please DM me your email so I can send the stickers over.

And now, it is my privilege to announce the results for romance for the Okami Awards. Here are the participants in no particular order.

When I first read the blurb, I was immediately intrigued. A hardworking college student needing to reign in a bratty billionaire son? Mmm, delicious. My excitement increased when I delved into the story. The author manages to take a popular trope and craft it with such excellence that the story is utterly irresistible. The dialogue is realistic, the writing style flows easily, and the characters are well-crafted. I loved the contrast between the two characters, and I can already see how the two of them would absolutely hate each other at the start, and then slowly fall in love. (Enemies to lovers, mmm, tasty.) The only problem was slight info-dumping of certain background information occasionally, but it did not take me too far out of the narrative. With only reading three chapters, I can already see the potential the story has. This is definitely a story to look out for if you are in the mood for some well-written billionaire romance!
