Fake Slackers

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

After class placements were decided, the school’s two infamous ‘problem youths’ not only shared the same class, but the same desk.

They’re clearly good at studies, but pretend to be slackers. Fakers from head to toe who just keep walking farther down the path of their performance.

Heard through the grapevine about the two big brothers who always fight over the last place in class.

Basically, this is a serious comedy. About the little matters of growing up.

This is a genuine heartwarming story with satisfactory conflicts solutions and well-written characters. I’m not only attached to the main characters, but also the side characters. Hell, I’m even attached to the principal and their teachers. It has the best comedy perfectly fit for my dumb humor.

Overall, I rate it 4/5 for the story as I’m not quite satisfied with the ending. Still, it’s worth reading and finishing. Praise to the Author and the Translators.

~3.5 ✨ rounded up ~

Ahh so cute, this was my first slice of life / high school set danmei. It wasa little difficult to get used to in the beginning since im used to diving head first into the intricacies of a plot and lenghty descriptions (thank you priest), and I could feel a reading slump coming but im SO GLAD I kept reading, I enjoyed it so much. The CP is so endearing (He Zhao + Xie Yu Forevaa). Its light hearted and dramatic, but that's what makes it... more>> fun and keeps you reading. There weren't any shocking nor surprising moments just overall cuteness. Definitely recommend for a light and amusing read, where you can giggle over the antics of dramatic high school students fretting over exam grades, wishing they were playing video games instead. <<less

Fake slackers is such a good, beautiful novel! It really is! It's like a chicken soup mixed with dog food and comedic undertones along with a coming-of-age concept. Reading this was actually pretty inspiring too! I feel more motivated to put in more effort when doing whatever in order to <insert one of the Dean's many motivational speeches found throughout the novel>.

The romance was very cute, fluffy, and pure... and all the interactions between the MC, ML and their classmates were very well written that I kinda got jelly of... more>> all their experiences lol.

Anyways, this is definitely a must-read (and a re-read, whenever you feel mentally drained and lost) <<less

One of the best!
This story is special. Let's first talk about the MC and ML-

The MC isn't your typical shy type MC but he's a "Mary Sue". His attitude is "solve everything with fist, talking is useless" because he rarely talks (literally). In a world where 99% is unlucky, he's that 1% lucky person. ML isn't the typical black-bellied, super rich, strict, super calm, and OP ML. He's a type of ML who is scary when angry but super playful when not. He likes to make random jokes and... more>> tease everyone especially the MC. He's also the perfect definition of a henpecked husband. He wouldn't do anything the MC doesn't approve of (and vice versa) because they respect each other's decisions. Also, ML is boastful not with himself, but with MC.

The plot itself was really good. It's light and enjoyable although some of it are slightly unrealistic. It's also uncommon and the genre was distributed just right. The side characters isn't there just as accessories. They have their own individual personalities and stories.

You'll really feel the equality? Between the gong and shou. Their relationship isn't too sweet but enjoyable to read, and their development's pacing is just right. The story shows the big differences between their personalities but also their similarities in terms of likes and dislikes so as the maturity of their mentality. It also shows how the two of them fits each other just right to the point it is hard to imagine the other person being with a different party. I don't know how to describe this story properly, it's just A MUST READ BL story. <<less

First time writing a review here! I simply felt too moved and absolutely had to take a moment and five star this national treasure of a story. It's totally a feel good, hilarious, warm and fuzzy type of read. It has just the right blend of humor, cute moments, and sexy streaks. Although I'm usually more of a pwp/smut reader, I've read this book more than twice and listened to the audio drama multiple times as well. I totally recommend the audio drama as well, it really gives the characters... more>> more life when you reread later!

I want to recognize He Zhao for being, hands down, the most shameless and hilarious ML in the history of ML's. His straightforwardness is refreshing, in both relationships and school. Xie Yu, the MC, isn't too shabby either, he's a violent tsundere but he undergoes subtle changes as well, which makes him more adorable.

The extras available in the Taiwan edition are mmmmmmmmhmmmm. :) On that note, all 4 extras of this book are filled with dog food. Hehehe.

Spoiler

More than just the extras, half the book is filled with dog food because they get together before the halfway mark! I love stories like that. I'm always a bit sad when the story ends right when the couple finally comes together.

I like the characters. The plot is also simple. And this is slice of life with comedy. The translation is also good. Though I sometimes get bored in some chapters, but it is because I feel too old (24) for this. This works for those young at heart, or that is full of dreams.

P.S.: this is a good read, though, worth to read, or else I won't invest time and money for this novel. ❤

Plot: 4.5/5

Character: 5/5

There is character growth throughout the whole story and it made me happy to see them grow and overcome the difficulties in their life.

... more>> The novel talks about personal issues, family issues and the educational system so for me I think that the plot is very well done.

Plus the MC and the ML are really cute together. Like the MC is the cold exterior but the warm interior kind of person. He was quite quiet and cold at the start of the novel but after being in the same class as the ML he started to warm up to others and care for others in his own manner. The ML is the kind that smiles all the time but you won't know what he is thinking. He jokes around very often and honestly, I think he can get an oscar award for his acting skills!! Reading the interaction between him and the MC or even with other characters really made me laugh alot.

Overall, I think it is a well written novel. However, I think the translator for this novel decided to charge money for the chapters they translated so you may have to find another source to read from. But I guarantee you that this novel is worth reading!! :) <<less

The story is cute, as expected of a HS romance. ML & MC made a good pair & their transformation was fun to watch. The supporting classmate characters were amusing as well. My chapter count probably isn't accurate because it's been so long since I read this story & I had forgotten why. I probably won't finish this story because it's nothing new or surprising & I'd rather spend my remaining "carrots" on a more captivating story.

As others have noted, be prepared to pay to read past chapter 29 with... more>> this one. <<less

i’m crying... this is so, so good... it was beautifully written, a balance between comedy, fluff, light angst, violence, slice of life, and romance. I always had a soft spot for coming of age theme, and this book didn’t disappoint me. some scenes left me laughing, some made me covered my mouth in muffled scream, and some made me want to pat their heads and told them what an adorable dumbass they are.

the visualization was so vivid, I could actually picture their classroom and the places they went to, and... more>> when it got near the end, I kind of felt a sense if longing and wanting to go back to when it first started.

it was that good, idk what to say <<less

Definitely a bit slow, but such a heartwarming read. Xie Yu's personality is cold and mean from an outsider's perspective, but the way he treats his friends and the way he treats He Zhao is just really nice. He Zhao's down-to-earth, comical personality just meshes well with Xie Yu's. Truly a couple who bring out the best in each other.

A humorous and sweet story about school life, growing up and the friendships forged along the way.

Xie Yu and He Zhao are two notorious slackers of their school, with a bad reputation for fighting and beating people up. So seating them side by side in class is a recipe for disaster - until they completely flip expectations and become friends.

It was hilarious watching them try and help the other along in studies while having to hide the fact that they're smart. And even more when others in class tried to... more>> give the two genii tips about studying.

Character development was also well done, and seeing how far they came from

This is sweet and reminiscent of my time back in highschool. I couldn't really tell who was the ML and MC til almost halfway thru the book. This book doesn't go too deep into anything. It's a nice daily life story of their daily lives and struggles in high school. They left alot of things hanging like the friend who left to go to school out of the country, the step brother's reaction to MC's high exam scores, etc. Not sure if there's a 2nd volume. Their relationship is really... more>> good together. They deeply trust and are loyal to each other. Overall a very nice read. <<less

The novel radiates the aura of youth and innocent love. They are hot-blooded yet they are not reckless. The author and the translator not only successfully portrays the nostalgia and vibrant feeling of school days, it also interweaves a tragic yet beautiful tale of two troubled youths who find solace within one another. I loved the character growth that takes place.

Their love story is not, I only want you to be happy. It is more of, I have you, that is why I am happy. You pull me forwards. Being... more>> with you, I have learned more, loved more and lived more.

Although the side characters are not prominent, they are not forgotten either. They all play a role in the story. Their presence is minor but it is like adding salt in a dish. It is subtle but noticeable and essential. Every little detail adds more color to the story.

Minor spoiler:

Spoiler

Although, I was a bit upset that we did not get anything in regards to a certain tr*sh step brother. I would have loved some face-smacking on that part. I also would have liked to know more about He's missing sister. But still, over all the story was quite satisfactory.

The ending reminded me of Perks of being a wallflower. It is vivid and it leaves a way for endless possibilities. The novel may have ended, but their story is just starting. <<less

Nostalgia hit me as I was nearing the ending, and it sure hit hard. I'll surely miss reading this, wondering when I will encounter such good work again. As my reading list attests, I dont think I have read high school slice-of-life bl novel aside from this, because they suck and they're boring. This? This is such a gem I laughed throughout. The cast are such a mood you'd wish you had them as classmates (especially the ml).
It's that good, the story hooked me - from the start to... more>> the end.
It's one of those times I have to thank my eyes for spotting a potential good novel! Hah I know my eyes are never wrong (Just kidding. God know how many times I was proven wrong). <<less
