After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

Description

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

Chi Nan was the young man in one of the Top 10 forbidden paintings, the Crying Boy. It was said that he would bring disaster, so his memories were sealed and his soul was locked in the painting.

One day, Chi Nan entered the body of a blind young master who died accidentally. The young master was the owner of this forbidden painting. However, Chi Nan had stayed in the painting for a long time. He lost the happiness and sadness of human beings. The only emotion he could show on his face was: tears.

Chi Nan made three wishes to the gods: regain his vision, stop crying and get his memories back.

Thus, he was invited into the world of terror, the Nightmare Cycle. Break the nightmares to gain points and grant his wishes.

Ordinary players: Ahhh, it is terrible! I want to wake up!

Meanwhile, Chi Nan moved through the nightmares, grabbing small skeletons at the crane machine in the amus**ent park at midnight, building ice sculptures with corpses in a snowy country’s mass grave and dancing with a fierce ghost in a life-threatening waltz until dawn.

The dreams were really good. There were endless games, ghosts who tried to amuse him and a mysterious boss who sent him good medicine every day.

Chi Nan cried happily but when he cried, the ghosts of the world trembled.

***

The owner of the body was called You Yu and he suspected that he didn’t die accidentally. In order to understand the truth behind his death and be reborn in his body, he sold his soul to the world called the ‘Nightmare Cycle.’ He became the dream maker behind the scenes, conscientiously creating dreams of terror.

He didn’t expect that he would meet his body in the infinite nightmare he created with his own hands. The user of the body was a bigshot who loved to shed tears. This person was diligent in going through the instances to earn points and restore vision for him.

Thus, You Yu secretly added the sweetest honey to medicine and sent it to Chi Nan at midnight every day. So why did the little crybaby cry again after drinking it?

It’s better than most of these stories. None of the boring tropes I dislike. It’s got a great plot and gives you plenty of feels. Just wish it was longer.

Can't be more good. Things going according to what I thought it would be. There's no plot twist or anything because things were hinted at from start to finish. Can't be more clear lmao. I love how MC cry and how he change from no-feelings to have little feelings. Both MC and ML feelings develop just like how we predicted lol. Even though it's all going as we think it will but the process of going through it still make me want more arc but it's just wishful thinking.

The ending... more>> was sweet and heart-wrenching. I wouldn't say more because it's a mysterious story that need everyone to explore because the story itself worth because of the process toward the ending more than the ending itself (maybe?) Because I love every arc and especially some of the side characters are so lovely I wish for their own story too. <<less

One of the best I've ever read. Everything is logical, well done and the characters are fleshed out. I just finished it and I'm a bit emotional so I can't really make a good organised and intricated review but I really recommend it.

Also, got a good surprise in the fourth dream world ... more>>
Spoiler

with a transgender person being portrayed. Tong Yu (or Tang Yu, don't remember which one she is - also who decided it was a good idea to have a Tang Yu and a Tong Yu in the same arc??) is a transgender girl whose wish is to have her body correspond to her mind. While there are some transphobic characters like there are transphobic people in real life; the system, Chi Nan and most people recognise TY as a girl w/o problem. We also got a bit of her pov and she even comes back later on in the last arc/dream world (when everyone has forgotten CN). Such a sweet girl who really gained some development in that arc.

[collapse]

And I really like the different arcs, they were pretty original.
Spoiler

So the first one is based on YY's life just before he 'died' (btw,

Spoiler

why is YY's mom always a horrible person? First life as Number 9, his mom sold him to traffickers for money and then as YY, he was supposed to be sacrificed to the evil spirits (with whom YY's mom made a pact to be popular) so the backlash of her actions wouldn't affect her)

[collapse]

, where the dreamers represent the people (the small sacrifices before the big one yeah) invited to act by YY's mom. YY is the dream maker and he plays himself (ma boi is a masochist).

Second world, CH is still with the anchor and this time they go on a cruise. YY appear as 'Ye Chang', a high schooler to observe the guy who stole his body. He discovers that CN's tears are effective against monsters. Jiang Yu (my smart girl hehe) first apparition. The horror stories said coming to life reminded me of another survival story but the outcome was different (here, only happens when you sleep and as long as you discover the way to solve the copy, the limit don't matter).

Spoiler

In that other novel (and I don't remember the title sob sob) you had to survive in that mansion for a week and the way the MC solved it (bc only the top 3 could survive (don't get me started on that point system)) gave me a such a headache. Btw if anyone remembers the title, hmu because I still remember that snake scene and the effect of the depression effect on the MC

[collapse]

Third act is candlelight city. No anchor guy but Old Liu (from dream 1) returns. Rui Rui and her mom appears. CN discovers that Yu Chang is a dream maker (thanks to his shadow). As the story enfolds, shows that the dreamers chosen are important. Also Rui Rui's mom best mom - finally a wholesome family omg. YY masochist part 2 with

Spoiler

that scene where he has CN kill him. Like really?? I mean obv he didn't really die but nothing was sure..

[collapse]

Still wonders that guy who got his arm transformed into wax has survived until then when he's such an airhead.

Fourth dream CN uses the candle that YY gave him in the last dream as a reward to enter a dream world made by YY. There's Tong Yu and Tang Yu. GX f u really. Some weird school with weird rules arc. Honestly that teacher was pretty wholesome lololol Shout out to the death by blanket from CN's story on the cruise, ma man YY never misses an opportunity lol also those subplots to get hints each day were nice, especially the last one when they go into a sort of sun-world based on a emotion (ofc CH chooses sorrow cuz he can cry on demand but surprise! His appearance changed a bit and he can't cry anymore whenever he wants!!) and that story was really interesting and honestly even if I didn't see it coming, I think the twist/the secret they're supposed to discover was pretty nice with hints here and there so it made sense AND that's the first time I see that trope being used like that lololol also-

Spoiler

ofc the mom is horrible person in that sub world bc when YY has a mom, she haaas to be the worst

[collapse]

Fifth dream not a YY made dream. Only four people - Pei Mo the coward, Lu Baixou, Jiang Yu the return and CN on a bus. No hint, they just know they have to finish their mission before the bus arrives at destination.

Spoiler

Got a bit dizzy at first with how CN figures out they have to let the ghosts of the people they 'killed' kill them in return. Especially since with CN and his twin brother storyline, he could have killed YY np but since he's so wholesome he just offs himself (which doesn't sound wholesome lmao)

[collapse]

The chase to find the corpses of the victims and those weird smiley people were pretty interesting. Lu Baixou is pretty interesting character who I hope gets her happy ending :)) also 207 is cool so ofc she gets paired with Jiang Yu hehe

Sixth dream world is a bit complicated - just before the end of fifth one, a bug appears and it leads to the resolution and the explanation of the whole story.

Am a bit tired rn cuz it's 9am and I haven't slept all night to read that but basically they do things, reappear in the train that leads to the main city but CN hears weird voices calling him and then they (CN and YY) go to the weird bug-made world base city where they find some people who are not supposed to be there: people who died in the dream world (GX f u again) and whose task is to kill those whose wishes are already fulfilled (also not supposed to be there) and then the system releases the task to kill the dream god (obvs CN) but that's not really the system bc of the bugs and since CN has obviously a connection to the state of the dream world (ex it snowed bc YY said to CN when he was a kid that he wanted to see snow) they go to where CN wanna go: room 206 where the system created a time loop that leads to the final dream world in 3 parts: part 1 = YY wakes up in a world where no one remembers CN/CN never existed but thanks to his constant belief, CN whose consciousness was just lost in the system takes 229 days (wink wink nudge nudge) to reassemble and connects to YY's mind -- leads to part 2, YY (with CN) go back in time in that weird wizard continent where they meet Number 9 and things happen, they save the children and I guess sacrifice the traffickers who tried to sacrifice them and when 9 and YY are about to leave to city, system who doesn't have a lot of energy left sends them to part 3 before they have the time to explain things to 9. Part 3= 9 is a teen, we find out CN was actually a god but because he was polluted by filthy nasty bad wishes, it causes backlash in the environment which caused a cursed on the people. 9 is actually YY's past life and the painter of the Crying Boy painting where CN went to be sealed on his own accord bc just before his death he saw the future and everything as he lost his 5 senses but his spiritual sense got stronger and basically it's a loop but I'm too tired to explain properly and trust me it makes sense but I really wanna sleep rn and they end up clearing the world and boom they go back to reality where only 3 days passed since the dream city got a bug and everything is fine, the system explains everything and YY is making breakfast for CN who finally gets back his body!!!! BTW he has silver hair and the same green eyes and moles and still cries when his emotion gets too strong bc he wasn't supposed to keep his emotions after being sealed and the system is all his spiritual/divine powers separated who pulled CN in the dream world 11 years after the fire cuz when the fire destroyed the painting, it allowed him to go in YY's body since their fate together makes him a great host but also freed the impurities that were sealed and formed the bugs in the dream world and I really don't know if I'm making sense anymore but to me it's logic and nice and why aren't there more extraaaaas

[collapse]

So yeah sorry for the rambling in the spoilers buy if someone didn't understand anything, you can contact me~~

Last spoiler on the dream world and what happens to those who die in it or those that made it

Spoiler

sooo people don't really die in real life when they die in the dream world. They just leave without having their wish fulfilled and forget everything about the dream world - it's just hidden from the dreamers to keep their fear value high (since fear value = energy) and to keep them motivated. Was a really nice surprise since the dream world continues. Also hints that those who reach their goals forget everything when they go back to reality but their wish ends up happening (how, tho, probably depends on the type of wish)

[collapse]

So yeah I liked the characters, and also the background for the world and CN's backstory. My only regret is that there are only 2 extras so we don't know what happens to the other secondary characters.
Spoiler

except dream maker 207 and her now girlfriend Jiang Yu who appear in the last extra lol. I was really happy to see they weren't forgotten, especially since 207's world was particularly interesting.

[collapse]

Since I used mtl, the names of the characters were sometimes confusing but it's totally understandable and while it's not totally horror-like, it stays interesting so I really recommend it :)

As for the romaaaaance, my bois stay respectful and it's nice and cute and not too much for that I'm so happy because sometimes, even if the story and mysteries are nice, the ML can get violent or pushy and that's a big no no that can ruin everything <<less

Wouldnt say much about it, it's a good novel with a generic mix of horror, fluff and comedy.

And unlike most yaois, the Shou is the most OP.

I would describe the relationship between the ML and MC as devoted, gradual and sweet.

... more>> It's an office affair in survival mode.

I loved it as a quick read, definitely shed a tear or two towards the end and even though the side characters were mostly transparent

I definitely liked one or two.

I also likes that the author had a transgender person in one of the arcs.

PS: MTL is readable except for confusing names

8.5/10 as a final rating <<less

This novel is not as much 'horror' as it is 'mystery' solving. While horror elements do exists (gore, killings, ghosts etc), as readers reading from MC's perspective we won't feel much horror coz MC has a ... more>>
Spoiler

super special identity which will be slowly revealed as the novel progresses

[collapse]

MC is very very calm, has almost no emotions (fear, happiness, sorrow etc) and cries whenever he is touched or eats sweets (which is basically his fav food). His tears are strangely capable of driving away ghosts/ demons.

ML is playful and mischievous and quite the narcissist. He is interested in MC and up-front sticks to MC without shame lol.

Their mysterious past, MC's lost memories and reason why ML (as a child) got MC's painting is beautifully explained by the system in the final horror instance.

Overall, an excellent book <<less

I didn't know that an Unlimited Flow novel can be this... relaxing? Idk. It's not scary but it's a pass for me. The characters are not too 2D and there's no big villain or whatsoever, it has good missions and the system isn't too inhumane.

MC stay in his character throughout the novel - he can only cry, but that's it. Sadness? Sorrow? Nonexistent. He can only cry while feeling nothing. Even after he and ML confirmed their feelings he didn't know what was like or what was love, he only... more>> know that he would rather die than live in a world without ML.
Spoiler

Once in a mission he killed ML and he felt lonely for a while, but in another mission he chose to commit su*cide rather than killing ML It shows that his feelings began to grow steadily.

BLAND

The only word I can use to describe this story is 'bland'. And I noodled over the reason for a few minutes and finally came to the conclusion. It's the MC that is bland. He has no past, no personality, no ambition, nothing. He has a beautiful shell, sure, and has a beauty mark on top of that. And let's not forget, he cries beautifully. And that's it. His everything is basically that. Period.

This novel is about wishes. It is written in the synopsis as well. But the way... more>> the story is written, MC doesn't really care whether his wishes are fulfilled or not. He wishes to be able to see, but throughout the arc, you never see him yearn dearly for eyes. He wishes to stop crying, but it's only because he thinks that he can't eat sweets in front of other people, and a male crying out of nowhere 'seems' embarrassing. When the MC himself doesn't care, why would I, as a reader, care then? There's no f*cking reason.

As I have already said, he has no past that is worth talking about. I'm already more than halfway through this book but his past isn't mentioned properly at all. It's just tidbits that is neither enough to satisfy my craving nor induce my craving for when his past might be revealed in the future.

He doesn't analyse the current circumstances. He has no monologues. Everything what we read is from the narrator's perspective. We really don't know what's going inside his brain.

He doesn't plan his future. He has no particular ambitions. This made me think like he is a character with no past, no present and no future. Although of course, he does have future, but it's a future I don't care about.

Also, the author has tried to make him quirky. And that is by making him say things that what author 'thinks' are out of the ordinary. For example, when others are panicking over the difficult instances, he would say things like, "I am going to sleep." "It's time to eat." Wow, so innovative, so creative, so quirky. Hah!

The first arc was slightly interesting, I'll be honest. I had hoped it would get better, but it didn't. Also, for a horror genre, the lack of tension is so extreme that I don't know what to say. I am a scaredy-cat, but I didn't even bat an eyelash even on the first arc. It was f*cking boring, to be exact. I don't understand the five star ratings. There are way way way way better novels than this one of the same genre, such as

  • Supernatural Movie Actor App,
  • Global Examination,
  • Kaleidoscope of Death,
  • The Earth is Online,
  • Welcome to the Nightmare Game,
  • I was Once a Legend etc.
Go read them. Don't waste time here.

To sum up, MC is like a blank sheet of paper. His inner world is without colors just like his pale complexion. <<less

his blindness was solved after arc 1

[collapse]

Oh well I guess it will be difficult to continue to write a story like that okay then. Hey the dream makers seems like a interesting concept ! I wonder how's the other dream makers than ML will be, I'm sure it will be interesting !
Spoiler

in general, all I want is a quirky group of dream makers and their personal instances 'style' to be introduced, yknow to make the story more colorful, but nope, there's only ML and his lesbian friend

[collapse]

Finally big spoiler ahead
Spoiler

the ending was soo rushed, it's such a lazy conclusion too. For one, they said it's just a dream but how are you going to explain the disappearance of the mom that are in the middle of funeral and the streamer that were streaming ? There's no more explanation about the real world heck, even we don't know how is MC's body and acquaintance in real life going to do after MC decided to stay in the nightmare world forever. MC being a god is predicable, but the magic are not. WTF there's magic apparently in the past ?? But we have no foreshadowing whatsoever before that and no further explanation about the magic other than it exist

[collapse]

Other than that, this is a decently good novel. Veteran players actually acts like veteran, by that I mean most of them don't help nor destroy other players everywhere and just minding their own business. Queer characters has personality and their own specialized ability, other character in general are too unless it's some of the few cannonfodders, but I personally think they too, has personality, just high ego and too conceited. MC is a chill guy who has no goal other than enjoying the instances puzzle. Some said it's boring, others like me said it's relaxing. If you want to read a unlimited flow novel with little to no drama, here you go. The instances has a rule to go with that is it must be solvable by anyone, no luck bullsh*t nor specialized knowledge/abilities/talents/items that are needed to clear it, only brains and wits. Which is great cuz I don't like a**pull kind of situation. There's many deaths here too
Spoiler

I'm pretty sure there's no instances here with no casualties

[collapse]
Instances designs are wonderful, the dream makers element really helps with it. So give it a try ? <<less

3 stars!

As a stand-alone unlimited flow and survival game novel, this is a good novel to read. But as it stands in between two better known, better loved giants of these genres: Kaleidoscope of Death and Global Examination, it pales significantly in comparison.

The characters are likable, not too OP. MC is calm and collected, willing to work hard to uncover the mysteries of his past. ML is entirely partial to the MC and instinctively weak to his sincerity, even as he tests it. The horror element is tinged with comedy.... more>> ML and MC spend a majority of the novel together.

However, nearly every aspect of this novel (besides the 'game' premises and the 'tears' gimmick) felt like a pale imitation. The romance was, to me, sub-par. One could argue that it was 'subtle', but to be honest, the suggestion of tacit understanding does not excuse the lack of chemistry between MC and ML. I was never able to emotionally connect with any of the characters; I was not able to sincerely root for a happy ending, or even worry for their fate. There is this one scene that came close-- in building explosive emotions:
Spoiler

where the ML asks MC to heartlessly kill him, both knowing full-well that he will survive,

[collapse]
however, the execution of the build-up, conflict, climax and resolution of even a scene like this was astonishingly bland.

The ending was simultaneously anti-climatic and needlessly convoluted. The author revisited a single point in time (via time loop) but failed to add new elements to build up the mystery.

I would not recommend this story to be a gateway to UF/Survival Game novels. At the same time, if this story is read after some of the more famous works in these genres, it is likely to disappoint.

I wanted to love this novel, but I couldn't.

The translators did an excellent work with the TL, I applaud their efforts and hardwork. <<less

Well I think this story is pretty good??? I really like the plot twist in the final plot of how everything becomes infinite (Loop).

The weakness in this story, maybe lies in the finishing touches of some side characters that appear quite often... For example, "the old man" ... more>>
Spoiler

which appears quite often in the beginning of the story (He even has quite a number of key roles actually), but at the middle until the end he just disappears, without any explanation of what he wants (wish), or how he ends up.

[collapse]

The same applies to MC best friend Hei Cha...

Spoiler

Hei Cha had finished the nightmare world mission and granted his wish, but due to the rules of the nightmare world that made people forget things after they granted their wish, Hei Cha finally forgotten everything that happend in nightmare world...

This made him feel empty sometimes, because even though he had forgotten everything in the nightmare world, he still felt that he used to have a very good friend who he didn't know who.

This goes on until he returns to the nightmare world due to an incident and remembers everything again... He finally makes a promise to the MC that he doesn't want to forget all of this again, or at least he wants to know and become MC friend again in the world real, so after that MC promised him that he will come/he will not forget... But until the end of the story there is no explanation at all about this become true.

Is it weird to fall in love with a spirit using your own body?

But I mean.... why not

Definitely reminiscent of Supernatural Movie Actor App in terms of complex plot, mind-boggling instances, & a somewhat Narcissus-level romance. I think SMAA excels better in the romance & plot, but this story is enjoyable nonetheless. 5-stars given mainly on enjoyment rather than purely saying it's one of the best.

If you like brainy instances, cutthroat horror stories, a game of cat & mouse between the main CP, an overarching mystery that might seem... more>> pretty obvious from the get-go... THIS IS IT!! Personally, I already like it once I know that the MC has some sort of leverage in these games. Now it could be in the form of just a strong mind or personality... but my favorite is if there's a sugar daddy behind the scenes. 'Omg isn't it so much better when the character progresses using his own wit & luck??' ... Yes... but I want dog food OK

Character-wise, the main two are what's really important in the story. The plot strictly revolves around them. Everyone is basically fodder. Now plot. Plot can be confusing. I feel like this is the type of story that you need to pay attention to details. Everything comes full circle, whether or not details are shrugged off. I personally would have preferred it to be longer, but it doesn't wrap up badly.

I'm bitter because I want smut or at least a decent kiss COME ON NOW <<less

I thought I'd like this one a lot. But the arc besides the first feel very dry to me. And while the idea of the ML being the MCs bodys OG soul is very fun, he only seems to like the MC for his tears. And I don't have any idea why the MC likes him. Guilt maybe? It just isn't as good as I'd expected.

The author didn't waste any chapters or did any fillers in regards to advancing their plot. So it may seem short (the chapters are not) but it's a story filled to the brim. It's easy to read it in one sitting.

The horror aspect of this novel is bearable and I think it's more fitting to describe it as mystery solving with supernatural elements. The emotions may not be that pronounced but the last arc/ending definitely made up for some lacking romance.

Spoiler

The story of 9th never meeting Chi Nan again except in dreams is heartbreaking. He waited for him all his life.

[collapse]

I was satisfied enough with the ending except for a few things: *big spoiler*

Spoiler

So basically, they're stuck in an endless loop of time cycle. Meaning, all of this already happened to them and will again happen to another them in another timeline. Which is frustrating and just plain headache. I hate time paradox. And also, I was hoping for Chi Nan to visit Hei Cha cause he said he will but author never delivered it so eh. And I thought this while reading but, although Hei Cha definitely only think about Chi Nan platonically, he has all the qualities of a puppy second male lead. He's so sweet and so nice!

Gahd. Aside from this, I tried reading the author's other works and gd they're frustrating and the MLs are just a bunch of walking and talking red flags 🤮

5 starts for me. I love it!

I won't tell another description for the story because upstairs, it already tells you of what to expect of this novel.

The writing of quality of the novel is good. I finished it in the raws and it was understandable.

The plot is good too. In each arcs I'm like, oh that's it, I'm being wowed by Chi Nan's intelligence. At first it may start slow because of his blindness but after the first arc it'll be okay.

... more>>
Spoiler

After the first arc, he'll directly be able to realize his wish, Heal his blindness, because he got so many favorability in there.

[collapse]

I love the arcs of this novel. They're unique in their own. Not the usual arcs like modern, ancient, interstellar, etc. Though, I don't like some of Chi Nan's coincidence teammates in every arcs. Hmp.

The ending... I have the 'i expected this but I'mma still surprised' expression. I love how the Author made the ending.

For the characters, oh, how I love the side characters! I even hope that there's a fanwai for Hei Chan. And unexpectedly, the late ship that I shipped, sailed at the end!! Happy for them.

The chapters may just be in 100 but it's fulfilling reading this. You'll end it with a smile.

Spoiler

Just one spoiler. Maybe not one, ehe.

Chi Nan and You Yu are destined lovers. So inseparable!!

In the title, there was a word 'Cycle' in it, its not the usual Nightmare 'World' in other infinite flow novels.

Because it's really a cycle.

This is a mix of everything- fluff, horror, a little gore, mystery and a touch of comedy. BUT if you're a hardcore horror fan, then this might not make the cut. I've read other horror novels and this one pales in comparison, but it's not too bad.

I love how the MC and ML's relationship progress, might be a little slow for some but I don't have any problem with the phase. The MC is OP and so as the ML but both have their own set of strenght and weaknesses.... more>> My favorite side character is of course, Hei Chan, I love how he's very protective of CN, too bad he's not included in the extra, which I believe that he deserves a special mention at least and what happened to him.

The ending is rushed, there's imporatnt characters that just disappeared and I didn't even know what happened to them. *Sigh*

I like this novel but probably won't reread again. Recommended for those who doesn't like too much horror. †_ (・"・*) β 4.5/5 for me <<less

The book is good! I adore the MC and ML, including the side CP. The horror isn't at all scary because the book is written in the MC's POV. (MC is emotionless, meaning he can't feel fear)

All in all, It was worth reading!

The story is okay but I find it a little bland. I find this novel lacking. I agree with that the story isn't scary but it has gruesome scenes. Due to ratings, I expected it to be really good. Anyway, readers have different tastes in novels. I tried to read up to arc 2 to see if the reviews are justified,.. But it's not for me

What is good is that the characters have different personalities. But I don't agree much in the "characters are fleshed out" since some chara has... more>> this "pre-conditioned" personality and u can expect their next actions <<less

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bcz Chi Nan didn't get to meet with this his friends in the real world after he promised them!!!凸 (`△´#) HOW DARE THE AUTHOR DEPRIVE ME OF THIS!!!
Also I kinda wanted Tang Yu to end up with the cool Miss Jiang but 207 is also good I guess.

[collapse]

Other than that, this story utilized the overused plot of Cycle of time in this genre quite well and the instances actually made me feel creeped out; the side characters that on the the Main CPs side have their own stories though the villains felt like the worse versions of Team Rocket from Pokémon.
Special thanks to the Translator team for not giving up on this project you did a great job❤️ <<less

idk why I dont like this ML at all... from the start and i’m up in chapter.25..

okay yes he is psychopath but deliberately teasing and trying to make MC cry for his own curious is kinda gross :/ sure maybe in the future when he falls in love he’ll become scared and sad whenever MC cries but im so tired of reading ML going like “🤨oh? you’re soooo different from others... 😯 how interesting... 🤭☺️”

I enjoyed it! I think overall, this was a very relaxing experience for me to read. Although most of the arcs are forgettable, I think the main point is to build up the relationship between the CP as naturally as possible. So for that, work-line/adventurous arcs being very chill (to the point where I had a hard time even remembering the cruise arc, + had to go back to jog my memory) is a forgivable case. A.k.a. Here for the romance + how it turns out is the exciting part.... more>> The infinite flow arcs are more like vacation trips to take with the couple, so less focus on that is fine.

I'm really sold by their relationship at the end of the novel! I enjoyed the shift in power dynamics, from ML having the higher position at the beginning, to being equals to being ??? Whatever they ended up being at the end lol. I enjoy that the ML becomes progressively less cool and more like a little 'gege~' brat by the end of the story. Like a smug little boy who ended up with his crush. I like it!! I like it alot!! And I also like the MC's reversal charm

Also a warning for those who are interested but it's kind of a slow burn? They don't get together until like, the very end. But it's a very fulfilling ride!! And it's not sadistic at all, dont be fooled by the first arc!! It's a very simple, sweet, interesting story about two oblivious dudes who end up finding out they like each other way more than they realized. I had a good time reading, I enjoyed it alot. So 4* for this one!! <<less
