I've had fun. I don't know about the others but I really loved and enjoyed this story. I love how cringey and how embarrassing the FL is, how badly she was teased by the ML and paid for it down the line (the FL kept believing he was just jokingly flirting with her and ignored a lot of hints), and how chaotic it was in the first half. I don't care what others may say but I really love it when there's a lot of humor in the story.
The art was gorge, though sometimes it was confusing because I had a hard time seeing the difference between the FL and her sister, they looked a lot alike, and sometimes they made her eyes too big and she somehow looks a lot different when they make a dramatic panel on her face. I really love the character designs despite it being generic.
The concept was fun, unique in its own way, but fun. Although, if I have to guess, I'd say that they weren't certain where the story would go from the very beginning. Like, it wasn't planned. The mood just changed a lot after a while and it didn't seem like the Duke was the main antagonist until the last arc. Either they didn't plan it or they were too good with the planning that they made us (me) believe he wasn't much of a threat in the early parts of the story.
I mean, think about it. He was planning to infect the FL the first time they met but just let her go so easily. Like, if I wanted someone dead, I would've done everything to end them, or at least try to. He didn't though so I'm a little skeptical if his main villain role was planned or not.
Anyway, I enjoyed the story. Could wish for side stories though, I wanted to see their married life, FL's arc on adapting as an Imperial, pregnancy journey, and then a little bit on the child raising arc. I wanted me some grandbabies. I bet it would be as chaotic as when they first met. Bet the ML would never be bored again for the rest of his life.
Came here to see Yuri and Jaerim's smex lives only to be fed with crumbs.
My goodness. I genuinely loved this when I was younger that I read it over and over again. I also loved the angst that came with it. But now that I'm a bit older, I just can't believe I never saw the red flags.
In the first place, there's no way a school that is heavily reliant on the student council exists. And to not allow students to work when they don't have a support system is just cruel. Is that for real?
Also, you'd think this was a very cute slice of life story at first, but then it became so dark and heavy at the end. The grape though... What the hell. And also, Yuri just ran off like that... I could feel Jaerim's world just shatter.
I never hated Yuri, but I never liked him either. Jaerim is so pure here, compared to everyone else here, despite how they look, they aren't as strong as Jaerim. I mean, he took on the obsession of many girls and never showed how much pain he had to endure. Sure, he may be an idiot, I don't think he's ugly because what's wrong with having freckles!??, but he ain't weak. I just don't think Yuri deserves him.
I keep remembering someone telling me this and I'll say it now for other readers. "Don't fall in love with someone's potential. Focus on their present selves and figure out if this person is the one you expect to be with for the rest of your life."
And I say this because Jaerim still chose to be with Yuri despite him being so broken.
I'd rather they break up now and get back together when they get better. At least then I'd feel so much better about their future.
To think I've already read this two years ago but I've got a goldfish's memory so I'mma enjoy re-reading it
Was it interesting? Yes. Was it perfect? No, not really. It's a little underwhelming, especially as a BL centered story. It doesn't have that same "heat" and "passion" you'd get from most yaoi stories. Wow, I can't believe I just randomly used titles of good yaoi stories. I swear, I wasn't doing it on purpose haha.
Anyway, the concept was interesting. But the delivery was mid at best.
Was it worth the time? I mean, I've seen better but it's not a complete waste of time. Just too bland. Not gonna reread it, unfortunately. It's not as investing as I thought it would be.

I remember I was so bitter and pissed that not only did they not put any smex scenes in this, but they also did not add side stories.
Rereading it did not make me feel better. Like wtf??? Either make a masterpiece or a dud, I hate it more if it's half-assed like this.
They don't even know how big this story was and is in my life and I hate them for making me love them despite my complaints
Where’d you read the novel?
Okay, I admit I said all those things in my previous comment without finishing the story. And now that I did, I hate them. The characters and the story. I hated them more than I did before.
All these drama for something you could resolve by simply talking to each other.
Honestly, this is why people who move in with each other or married early get broken up later on. It's not just because they decided too early into the relationship, but also because they're all not emotionally mature.
It makes sense why older people settle down later but have a more stable and solid relationship than people younger than them.
The couple here were unfortunate enough to have someone meddle in their relationship while they were still in the early stages. They're both also inexperienced with dating and life so everything came crashing the moment they showed a weakness in their romance.
I hate this story. And I also hate how I just found the neighbor guy so relatable because I just realized that in all my years and relationships, I never once fell in love with any of the people I've dated. Hell, I don't even love myself. I hate how that guy showed me exactly what I am. Just a hollow person who would hurt the people around me.
They're adorable
