One of those rare finds that perfectly blends in together. It's so fluffy and cute, and sweet! which is funny coz the story is centered on desserts and features leads who are both dessert-makers themselves, guess that's just really how the author wanted the taste of this story to take from the beginning. I like everything about this, the character dynamic is superb with both complimenting each other despite having different personalities, they're both invested in their relationship but still pursues their own things. I also like the pacing, in just 4 chapters, the author was able to unfold a solid narrative that's just nice and easy to read. 5/5 will read this one again for sure.

I like the art style and the dynamic between characters. Uke appears perfect but has stalker tendencies, I don't get why he wanted to get revenge on the seme in the first place, was it because of him saying he would sleep with him if he makes him fall in love? Like that wasn't even said in a bad way, more of a banter sort, plus the seme literally attacked the uke's father in his stead for insulting his son, was that also a reason to take revenge? The seme too is kinda dumb? not really dumb, but close to it, coz even when he suspects the uke is using him, he still wouldn't budge and would opt to be blinded just because it's the uke, it might be romantic, but it's also stupid. Also for a detective story, the unfolding of secrets and revelations were also meh, there was no clicking moment nor a shock factor, it's just part of the plot so you read it.

Throughout this story, there have been questions and answers but they don't really match with each other.

Like why was the brother mad at the uke? he says it's coz uke is a disgrace due to being a bastard, so shouldn't the conflict be more on him (bro) lowkey getting jealous since the uke's illegitimate, which means he has the privilege of being a Gojou but none of the pressure? but no, the real conflict is bcoz as a child, the uke accidentally exposed him and the butler doing the deed;

Next is the butler's overprotectiveness, why was he doing it and why was he controlling the uke? the best I can come up with is coz he's protecting him from the brother so he wants him to be successful so he (the bro) has less to say about him, BUT he (the butler) knows, and the uke knows too that the brother is legit still in love with him, they even reaffirmed this at the end with that waiting dialogue, so wouldn't it be safe to say he has a strong pull towards the brother if he just talked to him about being nicer to the uke?

Another is the seme-- it's good that he's expressive unlike most semes that are just blocks of poker faces, however, I don't really feel this seme loving the uke, infatuation, perhaps, coz he finds him beautiful, but that's about it. Also the uke, basing his love for the seme just coz he called him beautiful that one time is equally stupid in my book.

I also can't fathom how he's (uke) supposed to be this high class ultra fantastic lawyer but he caves at the slightest of provocation, like if you want to make him a pitiful character make him one all the way, don't be half-assed. It would make better sense if the seme was a more capable lawyer too anyway, for instance, the uke could seek out his help on a case, and that could be their bonding moment, a way for their feelings to develop. Relatively, being a subpar lawyer could also explain why the brother keeps treating him as a disappointment, so that's 2 birds for the plot.


Anyway, I was more invested with the brother x butler subplot in this one.

Really chill, fluffy story with good pacing and likeable characters, including the girl-friend character who was so nice, such a good wingwoman too. Great read, also an uke with physical disability without it becoming his entire personality nor that trait being used in a fetishizing way, how awesome is that?

3.5/5 It's cute but I don't really like it when the chaser is treated like trash and still won't give up, specially when the object of their affection is unaffected all throughout the story then suddenly makes a U-turn and now he's so whipped for him, doesn't make much sense, at least make him suffer for a bit, make him realize his worth or something.

one of those stories that I already read but forgot, I like the prompt but the overall story just doesn't stick with me. I don't like that the uke always, always tries to run away and refuses to communicate even when the seme is trying to give the chance for them to do it. Also that stalker girl was let off pretty easily, clearly has violent tendencies but all it took to forgive her was a sorry, well at least they're taking precautions, or more likely the seme is taking precaution coz the uke is just too much of a pushover, so much so that it's actually quite unlikeable.

I just don't vibe maybe coz there's not much balance of affection between the leads, it's always the seme doing something, chasing, trying to reflect and improve, the uke did at some point but very minimal effort.

a rare, properly made tsundere seme, who's also not a prick just because he can't express his thoughts properly. And the uke is so confident but earnest at the same time, it's such a nice combination, he's also highly positive but not presented as an airhead, that's good in my books.

Also, I like how they strive to make the relationship work in their own way after its established, no turning into a different character all of the sudden, like the seme is still a tsundere so when he flirts, the uke doesn't even realize it lol.

Everyone is so likeable, and I like how the brother is not paired with someone and is just existing like how a snake-based deity should, it's so fun, also the pit viper servant compliments the story well too, no thrown characters or plot or motives, everything makes sense, even the lore backing up the whole sacrificial thing. Still can't get over that goat as one of the Uzumaki sacrifice tho, like did some ancestor really did it with a goat and it conceived it as the eldest born? or was it just the uke being delirious from being nailed for a few days straight? lmao.

Definitely looking forward to the sequel, I think they're gonna have a kid at some point coz apparently it's possible, can't wait how this continues.

Leads were written like regular men with neither being overtly masculine nor overtly feminine.

I like that the seme totally has an uke vibe around him but it doesn't feel forced and it still works, would be better though if they switch. I dunno, I just want it for the party who's more persistent to be the bottom coz if you're the one who wants it so bad in the first place, then you ought to take most of the strain for that activity too, you know? Also seke couples in BL are extremely rare, this could've been one of those gems, it has great potential.

What I don't like in this though is that the women here are treated like nothing, not even human, the few interactions they have with them, they're always rude to them for no good reason, and eventhough both leads got married (and then divorced), the women they married were treated like tools for their own little childish games; not even for the sake of reproduction, nor inheritance, or something majorly significant, it's just due to some petty reason that's all about each other and crap.

I'm also not a fan of instantly turning 180 after the establishment of relations, specially for works like this one where the development supposedly took years to develop, it just seems off for me, like I'm not reading the same story with the same characters.

Anyway, I couldn't attach myself much either to the characters nor plot at the end.

and they weren't constantly in contact for those 10 long years, the uke should've moved on by then, still I like it, also the fact that the uke did date someone else during those time and not just remain single and martyr waiting for the seme was good too. Seme was too oblivious but at least his realization and confession made sense with how the weaving of the story took place.
