This Is Taking Brotherly Love Way Too Far
Playing Brothers: Bossy and Undefiled
Love Tractor
2019. This is about relationships. The blossoming of one love & the deterioration of another. A city boy moves to the countryside & experiences farm life. I would say he experiences love too but it's one sided for the longest time. He's too busy ignoring his bf & prolonging this break up. I don't like this main character. He makes for an unproductive, uneventful character, stuck in his same rut. What bugs me the most, is why does the beautiful farm boy like him?? It should be the other way since farm boy has so many attractive qualities! He's young, strong, healthy, full of life, happy, hardworking, & helpful! Whereas the mc is an unhealthy city dweller, with a jaded, boring attitude--he's just done boring pretty boy. & Yet farm boy has a one sided love. I just don't see it. I dropped like on chapter. 23.

2020s? Some guy moves in with this antisocial vtuber cuz he needs a place to stay. He starts one sidedly becoming attracted to him. I feel the way life is depicted is too easy. Like acquiring jobs or securing a career in their desired field. Fiction doesn't need to be like real life, but this just actively made me disconnect while reading this in a negative way. No gravity is given to any of that, but rather the silly romance plot. Like main character, gets turned on seeing some mildly provactive fan art of love interest's vtube character & has a "steamy" dream from that. It was weak, like what is he, a virgin?! Further on, without getting to properly know him at all, mc already jumps to, "I LIKE YOU" in a really forward way. Then he forces himself on love interest. This really doesn't abide by any sort of common sense. As a result, character actions feel dumb. It's execution is weak. From the shallow inclusion of video games to the characters, the world, & their relationship. It's meh
