Only 4 stars because of the secondhand embarrassment. Skipped so many scenes because of it, especially in the beginning. I skimmed multiple chapters bc of it.

I cried while reading this omg. They only got together like 10-20 chapters before the side stories or smth but even after that we didn’t really get any fluff. The only fluff this couple had was actually smut so it that’s disappointing. 08/27/2022

Reread the entire thing again and enjoyed it just as much as I did the previous times I read it. Also, love the official translation. Their relationship was perfect omg

Wait for later. As of chapter 30 they’re not together yet in any capacity so wait for more chapters and check again. Added: 09/02/2023. Edit: I kept pushing this story off for some reason or another. So glad I did because it’s complete now so I can enjoy it more. They got together in chapter 40 I think, which sucks cuz there’s only 49 chapters in total. Wish it wasn’t such a slow-burn. I was just kinda waiting for them to get together. Smut wasn’t bad but not great either because the light sabers were mostly just blurs and I couldn’t really see the outline of them which ruined the smut scenes. At least mc1 and mc2 are attractive (especially mc2). I felt uncomfortable about mc1 using mc2’s past as part of a fake story he published on his blog I think twice. Especially uploading it after they become coworkers. Just uncomfortable. They knew of each other in college and it seemed like mc2 had a crush on him but only looked from afar. It’s a weird change from mc1 always being the one with a crush first, but I don’t mind it. There was drama but only small drama. It wasn’t an amazing story but it wasn’t bad at all so I’m giving it 3. It’s just missing something that would make it either 4 or 5 star. I originally wanted to give it 4 stars but the story didn’t really stick out to me much even though it should’ve been interesting. Mc1 and mc2’s coworker had a crush on mc1. One of their students wrote how he hated being gay and mc2 was kinda coaching him on that while mc1 tried to figure out who it is. The kid’s dad was about to try pursuing mc1 as well but mc2 got together with mc1 so he lost his chance. I liked the ending where it alluded to the fact that the dad got a crush on someone else. Found it weird though that the new person the dad had a crush on, the kid who the gay kid had a crush on, and mc1 all looked similar (black hair and same hairstyle and skin tone). Now that I think about it, every character was pale af if I’m remembering correctly. No originality in race and there weren’t many female characters. I feel like mc1’s friend (who used to be friends with mc2 as well) should’ve been in the story instead of just in flashbacks bc that would give more story and depth to the plot.
