Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.F University’s two most attractive men, Wang Guangning and Zhang Lingyi, constantly competed with each other regardless in what aspect.
Whether it was appearance, talent, popularity or even the number of abdominal muscles, they always contested with each other. Even the woman they pursued was the same.
Yet, these two xiao cao¹ who had self-proclaimed themselves as peerless in the aspect of love were completely rejected by the same woman.
Hence, they decided to retaliate against society by becoming gay.
They set an agreement to be gay for thirty days and even especially downloaded the list from the internet, thus preparing themselves to follow these standards in order to become a proper gay couple.
For example:
Watching a movie together…Hey, shou shou, remember to lean on my shoulder when you see a frightening scene, alright?
Warming their hands together in the same pocket…Hey, don’t wear that large military jacket outside, it’s really embarrassing!
***
By learning how to be gay from an unreliable guidebook for couples, two straight guys clash and end up with an unexpected outcome.
Their thirty days agreement has finished, yet can they truly return to their former lifestyles as if nothing ever happened?

I've realized that one of the reasons I prefer fantasy/ancient settings to modern-day settings is that... modern-day settings tend to have an underlying current of h*mophobia and other negative stereotypes.
Sadly, nowhere is this more obvious than this story "Agreement of Being Gay for 30 Days". In fact, this story hits every single one of my "Most Cringeworthy Plot Points in Danmei". 1. "Oh I'm not actually gay, I'm only in love with you" --> bruh that's not how sexuality works. Can we get just one--just one--modern-day BL novel without the obligatory crisis of sexuality? 2. Related to number 1... Are there any other actually homos*xual characters besides the main pairing? Congratulations, they're irrational beasts who commit s*xual harassment and get beat up by the main characters as punishment! 3. The extremely cringe-worthy arguments over "omg I want to be the gong in the relationship!! Being the shou sucks and deserves to be made fun of." I'm begging you, no one besides uninhibited fujoshis actually uses the terms "gong" and "shou" in real life. These two terms are fraught with homophobic and misogynistic undertones.
In this case, the ML kept rubbing it in to the MC that "lol we decided you're the shou by a coinflip! So for the rest of your life you better keep acting like the girl in this relationship."
"Oh, you got angry because I kept referring to you with this term you clearly don't like? haha you're so cute~"
I'm sorry, but that isn't cute or heartwarming in the slightest. Literally every single time the ML called the MC "shou shou~" or otherwise kept using those terms, my hairs literally stood up on end. I legit wanted to kick the ML's teeth in so he never used those s*upid stereotypes again. (Corollary to number 3: characters start out with their own unique personalities, but those personalities get warped and corrupted over time until they fit into the stereotypical "gong" and "shou" dynamics. In particular, the ML suffered because the author decided his only personality trait was "becoming a stereotypical gong")
4. Are there any female side characters? Congratulations, they are all extremely shallow/air-headed and don't feel like real human beings at all! They are either ungrateful gold diggers, squealing caricatures of fangirls, or the most stereotypical of fujoshi. Okay, let me stop my ranting and take a deep breath. I mean, it's not completely unsalvageable.
Looking on the brighter side... this novel did have quite a bit of funny and cute banter between its main characters, especially during their adorable rivalry moments. (At least, I enjoyed the banter when it did not involve the words "gong" or shou".) As an extension of this, I much preferred the MC to the ML! The MC acted way more like a real human being as opposed to a walking stereotype. And the parts of the plot not involving the above four irritating points were executed okay, at least if you like the "sheer fluff" genre. Overall Comments: I wanted to give this story a fair chance. I tried to avoid those four irritating points I mentioned, and attempted to finish reading for the plot alone. Yet every single chapter, I found my eyes rolling to the back of my head at the next "shou shou~". In addition, the plot really wasn't anything to write home about. There were the usual s*upid misunderstandings, bickering over girls, and otherwise "denying your own gayness." Do not read this novel unless you: -Enjoy modern-day slice-of-life -Enjoy soap opera dramatics -Enjoy the Fake Relationship trope -Enjoy the bickering between rivals dynamic And last but not least... -Can tolerate the aforementioned four irritating points of h*mophobia, misogyny... basically, how the writing is full of shallow stereotypes.
pro: I really liked the beginning despite some flaws. The two always bickering and the rest of the school misunderstanding their "dates" as battles was pretty funny and I really enjoyed most of the first half.
cons: the ML starts out ok but quickly becomes annoying as his original personality is subsumed by his self-designated 'gong' role. His constant use of 'shou shou' was really disrespectful to the MC and had me grinding my teeth after a while.
it also loses most of its humor and even dips into melodrama in the later chapters, which made me roll my eyes more than once; I have very limited patience when it comes to melodrama (instead of making me cry/feel bad I usually get impatient and angry).
- the whole 'gay couple' being viewed as if it's different from a normal hetero one. Like come on, it's the same, it's just that the society may treat it differently.
- the shou and gong thing - I don't know man, it's just that they are so fixed on the importance of who's the top and who's the bottom... however I found it quite funny most of the time, since them too were like hahaha lol about it later on.
- I am not sure if I should mension it here, but I really hate the 'I was straight, until I met ----', bacause I find it quite unrealistic most of time. MC at the start is literally like

I'm not sure what to think of their s*xual orientation anymore is what I'm trying to say - that's all.
Things I liked:'Gosh! Her b**bs!! O_O' and then he just states he's gay.
