When I witnessed this earlier, I couldn't help feeling a sense of familiarity... I'm not sure if I've read this web novel before, considering how many Chinese web novels (QT and QW) I've come across in machine-translated versions. Some have become blurred in my memory. Upon revisiting, I confirmed my previous encounter. It's a decent read, but I might have stopped due to laziness, I suppose.
As an aside, I got so engrossed in reading Chinese BL stories from Chinese websites that I didn't realize many of them had already been translated on Novel Updates. I hope there are more translations of heartwarming and innocent QT or QW stories out there.
Actually, I recall why I stopped reading this particular story – it wasn't because I lost interest. The issue was that the male lead was consistently portrayed as extremely attractive, which made it challenging for me to picture him as the dominant role. It's not that I judge people based on their appearance in fictional contexts (I do appreciate a strong, charming bottom too, personally ?), but it felt like the author favored the top character by describing them excessively as hot, handsome, or beautiful.
Meanwhile, the main character was often simply described with an endearing, innocent appearance.
It would be refreshing to see the main character, at least once, as the captivating, stunning, or gorgeous one, wouldn't it?
Despite loving the main character, I must admit, I'm not particularly fond of the male lead. He's alright, but he doesn't quite fit my ideal type of leading man.
