Especially a certain scene was extremely off-putting for me. That and not some abusive/excessive bodily fluid exchange between two immature imbeciles. This would have been a story worth reading, a story that mirrored reality and not some Fujoshi's dream of two boys 'seemingly' in love. The fear of not being accepted, the fear of others finding out - the problems, hardships they could face: Maybe even seeking out other people who love the same way, who had to face these challenges, heck, even some strange methods to turn them back 'normal'.
Since the entire story played in China, I expected more of a harsh, prosaic view on the topic. They are after all both straight, somewhat - I guess?

Whoever encouraged the author to also go full 'typical romance troops', should never advice anyone EVER! Where does all that desire even come from. Their relationship never goes beyond their carnal desire which is fine, but then stay that way. What the heck does the "romance" tag do there, it should be replaced with "two extremely horny teenagers". I've seldom read a couple whose quarrels are not just s*upid but also painful to read. The story doesn't offer anything besides its smut moments and absolutely ludicrous 'dramatic' misunderstandings. That was when I realised that the story was not just going nowhere but I was also wasting my time. I had held onto my expectations, firmly believing that now, finally something would happen, something - anything that would save this poorly written mess. So I thought that the topic, the hardships/fear of finding out to love differently, would be a story worth telling, worth illustrating. I don't want to go overly political here, but China - China isn't the best place in regards to the Geneva Conventions. (That's not really a spoiler - the story is pretty clear on that part)īut that was pretty much it. Well, it's basically about two boys BLY and GU and the hardships they face throughout their student life and later on their relationship. So, what is the story about? - you might ask. Anyways I continued on, 20 chapters are after all nothing less than 1/10 of the novel. Not the best sign to continue on reading, to be honest. I have to admit, it took me to about chapter 20 or so to figure out who the two protagonists truly were. Especially the first few chapters were especially confusing. The synopsis was rather lacking honestly. So, It must be good, right? Right? I mean - why would they make a Drama out of it if it wasn't good, right? RIGHT? Well, sadly nowadays everything gets adapted for better or worse.Īnyways, let's get to the main course, the review of the novel, shall we. I was even more surprised to find out that it had even gotten its own Drama adaption. That coupled with modern-day China, I am in. I was rather interested in reading this novel since it deals with a, let's say, 'delicate topic'.
