   I'd give it 4.5 stars. I really liked the couple dynamics in this book; they were so cute. I even kept reading after realizing it was more plot-driven than romance-focused. I was quite confused when the first small world ended tragically; it was so sudden. They were still bickering (flirting) earlier. The author mentioned the third world was a success, so I continued reading, but I was still disappointed. It felt like the author made many inexplicable mistakes, the logic wasn't very coherent, and the pacing was slow and disjointed. But I'm still curious about what happened… I searched around but couldn't find any reviews. However, that doesn't stop me from continuing. The author's writing style is quite good, though. 26.8.27

   The story is dominated by the male lead, and the writing style is very delicate and subtle. I really liked the setting of the first world, but it's a pity there was no romance. The biggest reason I wanted to drop it was because there was a major emotional turning point in the second world, in a car, but I couldn't see the car at all! The author hid it after finishing the story, and it was also their first time together. This disconnected and incomplete feeling was so painful for me, I couldn't continue reading… Actually, I really love stories with a dominant male lead. The male lead is incredibly strong and has a lot of charisma (very mysterious, his inner thoughts are rarely described, the author is very good at using this technique), the female lead is beautiful and cute, and then there's the feeling of the male lead, in power, pampering/doting on the female lead 🥺 It's so appealing. I've always believed that the one who pampers the other is the one who truly holds the initiative and stands in power 🥺 I'm stopping here for now after watching the third world; there's just too much plot, it all just flowed through my smooth brain like water.

    The writing is good, but the plot is incredibly frustrating... It feels like the author couldn't wait to send the protagonist (uke) away. First, the seme (dominant partner) accidentally saves the uke, then the uke is criticized by the seme until his childhood trauma is triggered, and then the uke is chased and saved by the seme. In short, the uke is always very passive and aggrieved throughout the plot. In my opinion, the uke and seme shouldn't be in the wrong, and they should be even, but the whole thing feels like it's all taken for granted, as if the uke owes the seme something. In the last scene before the VIP chapter, the uke doesn't want to fight because he's afraid of being scolded by the seme, but he's tricked into going in by the seme's friend using a dropped rabbit item. He suffers psychological pressure and then loses the bid because the scheming woman goes back on her word. I was already furious at this point. In the end, the seme bids for the uke at a price higher than the market price, but the uke didn't want to come in the first place. You promised him a rabbit and tricked him into coming, but then you started fighting over it. In the end, the uke does something he doesn't want to do, suffers psychological pressure, and still owes a favor. It made me laugh in anger. The author thinks the protagonist is always so humble [eye roll] and all that humility ultimately leads to the seme's arrogance. Since that's the case, why not write a story where the protagonist is the main character? At least then I'd have the advantage of not getting angry while reading it. This is a rare piece of writing that I'd want to criticize even though I don't have a paid account. Usually, even if it's bad, I'm too lazy to write about it if I haven't paid for it.

The writing is readable, but it feels rather bland. However, the intimate daily life of the young couple is well-written, with frequent hugs and kisses, which is cute. Reasons for abandoning the story: The writing style was too detached and calm, failing to evoke strong emotions. Also, the protagonist's character seemed a bit off when they first started dating. He was clearly in a state of psychological trauma beforehand, hesitant to commit, yet after only ten minutes of dating, they seamlessly transitioned into a honeymoon phase? The characters also felt occasionally out of character, both of them.

    It's super good-looking, hilarious, and the writing is very natural. The characters are also very realistic! The two characters are really vivid, likable, and cute. Reasons for not finishing: After the relationship was confirmed and marriage was planned, I didn't want to continue reading; it became too much like a heterosexual romance... I don't like these marriage and childbirth scenes. In this worldview, what's the difference between having children and heterosexual relationships? Besides having a male escort, what's the difference between the protagonist and a woman...? Also, the patriarchal descriptions of the wedding were too traditional; I didn't like them. I read BL to escape reality, and this BL even included stories of women taking their father's surname and becoming live-in wives. 🍉 If I liked this kind of thing, why wouldn't I just read romance novels...? Also, it's getting a bit annoying that the bottom is always the one trying to appease the top! Although the top is nice when he's in a good mood, it really feels like he's getting the better of me and then acting all innocent [laughing and crying with face covered]. Almost every time they argue, the bottom is the one who apologizes (I think this is the only time I've seen this so many times). To be honest, I don't understand all those confusing character attributes. Because I love stories where the main character is the seme, I always thought I might be a seme-biased CP sister? But in this story, I completely empathized with the uke... Turns out I'm just a protagonist-obsessed person who likes to balance things out 😂 I don't like to favor anyone, I only pursue fairness in the relationship between the two people...

    The character design is great, no need for embellishment. However, the writing lacks polish. While the flashbacks are fine, the author's penchant for overly ornate language to emphasize memorable scenes makes the reading experience difficult. Ornate language should be reserved for key moments, not for detailed descriptions of every detail. Gold is precious, but if even a mouse is made to gleam, it becomes commonplace. In short, the reading experience is exhausting. The plot progresses at a snail's pace... Character development and personalities outweigh realism.

Furthermore, essays are supposed to be loosely structured yet coherent, and the author's writing fails to achieve that, making those passages quite awkward to read… Then there's the awkward, flat character development, which is amplified by having to write ensemble pieces. I really liked the beginning and wondered why it only had 3k favorites, even giving it some support. But later on, it became so flat it got a bit annoying, and the story is only 3/5 complete. I feel like a lot could be omitted, or at least the main character's upgrades and changes could be described; otherwise, it's really boring. Slice-of-life doesn't mean a monotonous, rambling narrative.

    Very artsy 😂 If other novels can be compared to commercial films, then this is an art film. The author's writing is excellent, but the plot is a bit flat. It feels like it took me forever to read even though it's only 260,000 words... I started reading because of the romance, but there was too much plot, and the romance was written too subtly... The pacing was incredibly slow. I didn't want to continue after the uke confessed his love to the seme. The uke's character has some minor flaws, and the story itself is rather uninteresting, but the author's writing is indeed excellent; even a boring story can be engaging. However, the most important thing in web novels is still the plot.

    It's pretty good. The female lead is adorable as a child, and it's a heartwarming slice-of-life story with no annoying relatives. It gets a bit flat in the middle and later parts, and I got tired of it and stopped reading. May 26th (Record)

    It gets a bit cloying towards the end. I'd call this kind of writing the short video version of online novels 😂 The characters are extremely stereotypical and completely lack real-life logic. But if you treat it like a mindless short video and forget your brain, it's quite addictive. However, you can't read it during the day; your brain needs to be sharp during the day 😂 It's perfect for reading late at night. I didn't finish it mainly because I set a KPI for myself that I had to write a book review after finishing a book, and I didn't really want to. Plus, the later parts were all sweet and a bit cloying, so I gave up.

    The author's writing style is excellent, but I dislike the overall values it conveys. It felt increasingly unpleasant and even nauseating as I read on… And I ended up eating the chocolate-flavored baby! 🙏

    The subscription rate is 73%. The beginning was quite interesting, but after the birth of the child, the romance basically ended there; it was all plot and searching for the murderer from the past life. I couldn't be bothered to watch it anymore. It's not a typical ABO setting; there are quite a few personal interpretations. The author is a rather meticulous person, but the excessive and realistic depiction of social issues made me think of certain things three times, which isn't good for a web novel and made the reading experience a bit disheartening. Perhaps the author's life experience wasn't enough to convince me of this worldview?
