I've just read it, and I have to say I'm impressed with its quality. Its rare to see a honest reviewer who is willing to give a honest statement. I find that the style you're using to review her focuses a bit too strongly on the negative points, this is a flawed approach.

While these points should definitely be mentioned, even highlighted because they generally present the biggest room for potential improvement. But likewise, its very important to mention what exactly you thought good about it and why - you're not reviewing a character to point out its flaws. Its a way for you to inform the author how they might best improve.

A vital part is to inform them of what choices they make which you happen to agree with. This is a crucial step to improving as a writer, and to help them make better choices with their characters in the future. Of course, sometimes, the article in question has only bad points with no redeeming qualities, but given how you gave Ayako's appearance a 7/10 I doubt it.
