I need to re-read this again in a clearer state of mind to apreciate it properly.... But here I go.
These characters had their little bit of hitches in their relationship before they started going out and it was given good screentime and a good portion of the story to feel relevant, without dragging it through mud and making it frustrating. So, good conflict, while keeping it with the "soft bl" vibe.
Which is what the author intended!
I didn't see anything unnecessary in this story really, with a lot of sweet moments. A LOT.
And them falling for each other seemed to progress naturally and slowly, while giving just the right amount of sweet moments.
Though MC DID fall a little fast, in my opinion, when it came to just feeling attracted. Not that that was a bad thing. I was just caught off guard.
So I'd say apart form the very beginning, which felt a little (JUST A LITTLE) rushed to get to the romance (Though it would have been interesting to just jump in. That could be a good way to write a romance.... I should try it.) Anyway, it was good after that. Phenomenal, even. Loved it.
Super super soft and sweet, apart from the rush in the beginning, everything went smoothly without feeling bland at all.
The issues just felt a little "meh" to me, but that's a personal view on the world thing, I'd say.
So yeah! I definitely need to re-read this again to feel the full potential of this! I feel like I missed it this time around because of my own head getting in the way.
So my three star rating may change to a four some time
