This story is okay if you want some mindless reading. I came here because everyone said this book is like Shan Shan come eat. The only thing similar is the boss-subordinate relationship. Which was done better in the other book. The first chapter was hilarious. I love books that just pull you in from the very first page. Then I got to know the characters and I was just not interesting and didn't care about what happened to them at all.
Spoiler

First off, I did not like the main character Xia Ye. She is just so greedy and s*upid. I have never read about a character who is so blatantly greedy. It is said that she takes after her mother who is just so ridiculous. This is part of the joke of the book that Xia Ye always falls into Lu Jun's traps because she is so greedy. It gets old after awhile. I start wanting something new but there is just no character growth.


Lu Jun is also too black belly. I never thought I'd say this because I love reading black belly characters but Lu Jun was just too one dimensional. There was no reason given for why he liked Xia Ye. He himself said I don't know why I like you. Even I as a reader don't know why he likes her because she is just written so unattractively. She has a horrible character but we're supposed to be okay with that because she is the main character.
[collapse]

I didn't like it. I prefer situational comedies. Most of the funny parts in the book are all based on different people just coming up and calling Xia Ye ugly. I don't like comedy based on insulting characters. It was similar to making a series of fat jokes about a slightly overweight girl. Except in the book it was an ordinary looking girl who was repeatedly called ugly. It's not funny.

tried to force myself to read this, couldn't.

female lead is gluttonous and selfish. Sometimes it's cute to have a female lead who is gluttonous and not a model, but in this case it just makes you disgusted.
Spoiler

i finally finished trying to finish this novel when I got to the part where she shoves the cookies her boss bought into her mouth like a crazy person. Whether or not he bought them for her, why is she eating like that and acting like his good will is a token to act insane and selfish? Honestly people like this are raised the wrong way. The description of her and her actions are so vomit inducing, as in they make me visualize the disgusting way she eats and the disgusting way she hoards all the food for herself.

[collapse]

she is also very s*upid, as in I honestly think she's mentally challenged in some kind of way. No matter how many times the boss tricks her into doing something ridiculous or accompanying him somewhere, she falls for the trick because she is too s*upid to remember the last time he did something like that to her. She just conveniently forgets how the boss used to torment her by saying one thing and doing something completely different, and just believes that her boss is suddenly a good person who wants the best for her. It's not even funny how she never learns from her actions.
Spoiler

the part where she got on the bus to escape but tried to go back because he offered her a skirt made me so disgusted.

[collapse]

the male lead is honestly better, but still pretty unlikeable.
Spoiler

at some point he sexually harasses her. I'm not joking or being sensitive. He tricks her into lying down in his lap for an extended period of time, and literally gets h**ny and hard because he forced her face next to his c*otch. It was honestly so gross.

[collapse]
I actually like black belly boss characters, but he was written so awfully. He obviously likes her, but literally does nothing but torment and abuse the female lead. He threatens her constantly, manipulates her, puts her in uncomfortable positions, puts her livelihood on the line, takes all autonomy away from her. He takes her away on a trip she doesn't want to be on for no reason. Honestly his actions might be less creepy if he had just told her his feelings and these events were his way of showing her his affections. But he treats her like crap, makes her think she doesn't like him, constantly calls her ugly, treats her like a maid or servant, then expects her to just know that he likes her. Are you kidding me? Not only is the female lead a moron, he takes advantage of her s*upidity to get what he wants, which is ultimately her love or her body or something. Neither of them change or grow into better people. They stay ignorant, s*upid, and toxic for each other and those around them. Don't even get me started on the female lead's awful mother, friends, etc. The entire cast of characters is just awful and disgusting, the only redeemable character so far is the male lead's younger brother. I found him very tsundere and cute. Then again I could only stomach up to halfway through the translation, so perhaps I am wrong.

moral of the story: don't read this story if you like well-developed characters who help each other grow and improve themselves. If you're looking for a light read that you don't want to get emotionally attached to or if you don't mind borderline sociopathic characters, this might be for you.

I love this novel so much.

Dense, s*upid, and cute female lead doesn't realize that her boss starts to like her. This novel is insanely funny, and their interactions are really great.

The only thing I didn't like that much was the ending chapters, but the beginning was brilliant.

I was looking for a cute romantic comedy story but I've found this one instead. The characters are quite one dimensional. The main lead is just s*upid and greedy. I also can't fell in love with any characters, not even the male lead. The male lead is ride, doesn't know how to treat a lady and very self centred.

I just can’t finish this. The MC is so painfully s*upid. I was hoping there would be some kind of redemption but from the comments alone, seems like she’s gonna be s*upid til the end.

This kind of story caters to middle schoolers, anyone above that age range who enjoys this would be laughable.

This novel is one of the worst novels I've read.

I really disliked this novel so much so that I had to write a review about it. I tried so much to like it, and although it had so much promise the first few chapters but unfortunately it got old real quick. Especially when the characters didn't grow or development in any aspect after those few chapters; and the same repetitive shtick was happening and people either made fun or took advantage of the a MC especially others close to her... more>> ML included, or the MC was awfully brainlessly dumb and/or greedy. The whole thing left me with a bad taste throughout it, it wasn't sweet, romantic or fluffy. <<less

This is tough to review. Firstly, this is not Mango approved. And it is not that it is bad. It is just that... It is basic.

For a josei, all the right elements are present. A fairy tale like love with a dumb female lead and a highly accomplished male lead. Luckily here, the male lead isn't really emotionally stunted.

The series has some decent comedy throughout. And in fact, the romance is also quite very fulfilling. But, all of this is what is expected of this genre. What did this novel... more>> have more?

For one, it was rushed. At least 2 characters who are really really interesting got way too less screentime and background. While focussing on the main romance is not bad, just focussing on that meant that this movel got quite draggy towards the end. The comedy also started waning later on.

And yes, the female lead is dumb. That is the stereotype. But that works as a strength for this particular novel.

All in all, this was a good feel good romcom novel which is however quite... Forgettable. The asence of any drama even though it was strongly bring hinted at means that this feels like an incomplete read.

Perhaps, this author should try to focus more on purely fluff novels, going by the way this particular novel went.

This is not Mango approved. <<less

First chapter was pretty funny, but the more I read the more I got frustrated. The MC is not only naive, but incredibly s*upid. Most MC are kind of dumb in order to come off as cute, but this MC's s*upidity comes off as opportunistic and straight up ignorant. If you know someone is mad at you, just insulted you, and you know you messed up, the minute he offers you dinner, you know something fishy is going on. Nope, not to MC, she is just thinks "man, he's so... more>> nice all of a sudden!! I want a 5 course meal with 3 desserts!". MC has no redeeming qualities. I just kept face palming and face palming so much that the MC just became cringy to read after a while. What a huge let down.

Highly NOT recommended. <<less

Cliched but cute story with one major advantage – the jokes are actually funny. It starts off with the heroine, Xia Ye and her boss, Lu Jun starting off on the wrong foot, with LJ taking up teasing XY for amus**ent. At some point he develops feelings for her from this initial interest (though it makes more sense if he liked her from but start but I don’t think it was really made clear) and uses the same jokes to express his affections but it goes over her head. So he continues to chase until she relents.
Spoiler

While the humour is quite good, it does prevent LJ and XY from developing their relationship. LJ is a guy with high specs (income, looks, charisma etc) but a sharp tongue and sadistic sense of humour that takes pride in misleading others. However in chasing after a low EQ, low IQ female lead – pretty much every time he jokes or misleads her it sets their relationship back a few steps. It’s entertaining for the reader and for him but his chase would’ve been half as short if he had cut down a bit.

Ultimately their inability to communicate fails create trust and understanding between the characters, but it’s something they’ve accepted for now. Or at least let the author bring out one last laugh from the readers before they start working on it?

I’ve also noticed in a lot of romances, the characters take so long to get their feelings across that they’re practically racing to towards marriage and children when they finally get together.

Hmm there are funny moments, but mostly based on MC's greed and s*upidity, so they become stale after 1/2 of the novel. I laughed but I can't like the novel, maybe because I really dislike s*upid characters. There is also no logic to their feelings, and there is barely any plot here.

I continued reading on the strength of the translation (as expected of this translation group, always excellent), but after half of it I find myself kept skipping things because the s*upidity becomes more and more unbearable.

The stars are for... more>> some funny moments and the translation. <<less

Very fluffy and sweet without being excessive which is nice, it's the right length too

i liked it allot

the FL is very s*upid not eccentric and she is self conscious, not overly confident, it's a good change from typical Chinese novels where all heroines are very beautiful

she is ordinary looking with on special abilities except her personality is very straightening and kinda naive

the ML is a very nice not overwhelming and extremely bossy, possessive he is rather a sweet guy

the romance is very natural, sweet and can relate to real life

I liked this novel because it is funny. The reason it is funny because of how dumb the MC is and how she keeps misunderstandings the ML feelings. This novel reminded of a similar comedy style like the manga called Aho girl. If you like Aho girl you will probably like this as well. The criticism is I wished the ending wouldn’t have been so rushed, but for only 42 chapters this story is not bad.

I don't understand how people are giving this a high rating. Giving it a 3 star is a stretch already. MC is very slow and s*upid. She has very low self-esteem so she is very slow to understand and accept that the ML loves her. I don't understand how the ML even fell in love with her. Plot doesn't make it clear how, and tries to atone for it with this line:

After another moment, he seems a little depressed and heaves a helpless sigh: "How is it possible for a brilliant guy like me to love a silly and idiotic woman like you?"

It's as if everyone in the story is very black bellied against MC. I personally cannot stand the conversations in this novel. I don't like how the ML... more>> treats her 90% of the time, because of the way he twists his words to trick her. I mean, once in a while wouldn't have been so bad, but it's like it's almost every conversation. Even if you argue that ML is acting tsundere,.. Just, no. It's very possessive and toxic in some instances. Not even romantic. It's as if ML is trying to control her life. MC is a pitiful person with how everyone--even her mom treats her... <<less

I'm reading it, but the shenanigans this girl gets into are on a Disney channel level. I'm an aging fujoshi (any fujoshi over the age of 16 is old for a fujoshi).
Spoiler

There's no way an office lady ogling a man in a towel after his shower is going to give me a nosebleed. Then she bit his fried egg to make it into a heart shape. I want to yell at her to use a heart shaped cookie cutter. We're just 18 chapters in and that he likes her is obvious and she's degraded to have the intelligence of a 3 year old diagnosed with ADD.

[collapse]

That said I'll read the rest of this story when I have the patience again. This run I made it like 3 chapters, nearly 4.

Very adorable and funny.

Nothing overly dramatic, just minor misunderstandings and happily ever after. Do not read in public, you will look crazy for smiling and laughing for no reason.

It was so funny, I was smiling throughout. Romance - Never knew I could laugh at a romance like this one. It has its sweet moments but always with a punchline or twist waiting to happen.

A cliche 'naive subordinate vs manipulative boss' romance story, but was very funny, plotted nicely and has pretty nice characters. If you like light-hearted romance, or “Come and Eat, Shan Shan”, or Korean boss-subordinate love story, then this one will probably suit your taste.

However, IMO the author’s narrative was a bit lacking. And till the end, there were no hook that is particularly memorable. Of course, it could be simply my subjectivity speaking.

A fast read. It is also quite funny. A trope that I kinda like if I want to read a no-brained type of novel.

Anyway. A dense female lead and a powerful brilliant man who takes the painstaking task of falling in love with his complete opposite.

Not much can be said, except that this is amusing. I wouldn't probably read this again. It did not leave much of an impression, but it has the romcom allure that I am looking for at these times.
