Introducing NO HOPE rating system

The conventional five-star and ten-out-of-ten rating systems have become stale, visually uninspired, and inadequate for capturing the nuances of horror narratives. To address this, I'm excited to introduce a new, innovative ranking system here at Through Devian Eyes: a radar graph-styled evaluation tool that will complement the traditional system.

The system is composed with six different items or categories to be evaluated; Nocturnity, Ominousness, Horror, Originality, Profoundness, Engagement- all raging from
  

5 - Exceptional
4 - Very good
3 - Good
2 - Average
1 - Minimum
0 - None-existent

Nocturnity evaluates the mystery and suspense of the plot, especially concerning the antagonist or horror-inflicting character. The word naturally refers to the shroud of shadows that night provides

Ominousness evaluates the dread that the plot inflicts upon the reader, especially referring to subtle terror, such as the slow descent into madness. Other phenomena that occur, such as the 'it can happen to you too' phenomenon, might add to this item.

Horror evaluates the visceral impact of the story, including gore and other visually disturbing elements. Stories that explore body horror or other types of graphic violence will receive a higher score, as will narratives featuring gruesome serial killers.

Originality is the ability of the writer to avoid clichés and other exhausted tropes, such as the monster made of merged human bodies or plain brain-eating zombies, and create original blends of elements in a surprising way.

Profoundness is the ability of the story to resonate with the reader, especially through deep plots, psychological insights, and relatable characters. This is an item that requires subtlety and symbolism.

Engagement is the capacity of the narrative to captivate the reader, encouraging them to continue reading.

In addition to all this and the original review format, I will be providing a 'Main Terror' which is the type of fear or topic that the novel/story treats and through which it attempts to reach the reader.

For clarity, I will provide two examples of previous reviews, which will not be updated with these graphs, as the NO HOPE system does not work well retroactively. This is merely an illustrative approximation.

Whimpers of Light, a terrible story, lacked originality, relying heavily on familiar zombie apocalypse tropes. It was slightly engaging for the first few chapters but lost momentum afterwards. There was zero profoundness, and the only attributes that could be noted were some Nocturnity due to the haziness of the plot – although it's unclear whether this was intentional – and some Horror mainly through monsters and fungus

Main terror: Mycophobia 

It looks weak and ugly, just like the story it's refering

The fall of the house of usher, on the other hand, it's a very Nocturnal story that handles mystery to the very end, very Ominous and Profound, while the engament is a bit flimsy being the language outdated and the plot happening mostly on a single room. The horror factor is also minimum, since there's almost no gore in the story other than the sickness of Madeline

Main Terror: Dementophobia, Thanatophobia.

Naturally the graph looks much neater when the story has scored more than 1 in all items and 5 in at least one item because that's the way it was supposed to be used. WotL shouldn't have existed

Of course, this is a starting model and subject to alterations on the future.
