   To be honest, I think it's pretty fraudulent. The love line seems to only have 5%. The celebrity couple pairings are entertaining, and the ABO trio dynamic is fun, but no real couples actually date. After all, respectable idols don't date. It gets five stars if categorized as no-CP (no romantic pairing), but only three stars if it's a BL (Boys' Love) story with a dominant male lead. Why not just delete the side stories and make it a no-romance story? Damn it, I read BL for the couples! The plot can be better than the romance, but the main story can't be completely devoid of love. This is a piece of junk BL! I thought about it and changed it to 1 star; it's still too disgusting.

   I watched it a few years ago, and I only remember the plot. The escape rooms were very fun, and everyone had a way to solve them, it wasn't just for the main characters.

And a mysterious vending machine. “Clunk!” Press a button, and the vending machine dispenses a lucky box. You never know what strange creature will leap out when you open it.

   I feel like the main characters have too much luck/cheat code, but I also feel like this is a reward for truth, goodness and beauty, so it's pretty good. What's frustrating is that the dungeon settings are related to romance, so the protagonists' journey through it feels like watching a love story or a talk show. There's too much love and hate in the background story, but that feels like the theme of the story, so it's just a matter of personal taste. However, the author's strength lies in character portrayal; each character is vividly depicted.

    I focused on the main character but didn't see any romance. It's not that I'm too slow to notice, but when I think about it, the protagonist only looks 10 years old when the story ends. Maybe it's morally wrong for him to pursue a romance, since he looks like he'd feel guilty just by looking at him. Unlike another story, the main characters in this one are very closely tied together. Although they haven't fully grasped the concept of love, they are each other's one and only. There's not a single word of love spoken, but his actions prove everything. The episode most suitable for film and television adaptation, upon seeing it, prompted the screenwriter to write: We are brothers who will live and die together.
