Description

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

From infancy to maturity, what Ye Zhou dislikes the most was “two”.

The reasons were: he was ranked second at home, he had been forever ranked second at school, no matter how diligently he worked and tried, he couldn’t shake off that “second” curse. What was more exasperating was that, at University, not only was he ranked second, but even his appearance that he was proud of had to be classified as second best!

Why can’t I obtain the first place!

The eternal second will rise!

Then, Ye Zhou, after his vigorous efforts finally rises and the result was… the first became his boyfriend.

This is the story of a man who has been forced to be “second” and how he became the first, most popular.

The characterization has depth. The seemingly cold ML is just careful about his actions. The "naïve" MC is actually reasonable in dealing with the people around him. The group of friends who are considered meddlesome are supportive idiots who has their own interpretations. Those who accepted them but not their sexuality and those who accepted them fully. Those who do not care but gave offerings just to pass their exams.

Their relationship started with a misunderstanding and strengthened into friendship before they became lovers. They actually TALK about their problem. The... more>> ML give the MC some space to think. He's not arrogant or oppressive, the usual gong we see in Chinese light novels. The MC face the ML with his real feelings.

No unnecessary drama!

Sweet, lovely read and a beautiful touch of slice of life. <<less

(The rating is my genuine score, I never up- or down- score based on others' scores - everyone's perspective is valid, so it's OK if the overall score doesn't match my personal evaluation.)

I have issues with the start of this story, but it was worth bearing with. The rest of it is exactly what I wish more translated RomCom novels (and BL in particular) were like.

Cons:

So, the first 10-15 chapters feature everyone around the MC misunderstanding him, misinterpreting everything he says according to their own ideas and deciding... more>> everything for him. It's supposed to be humourous and I think many people enjoy this kind of humour. For me, stories like this are nothing more than frustrating, irritating, painful and infuriating. I really hate it when the highlight of the story is supposed to be that nothing goes right for the MC and nobody takes what he says seriously. It's the humour of "Love Stops Rumours", which I had to drop, but others loved. If you are not like me and enjoy that kind of thing, then you will find the beginning really funny instead of excruciating.

Pros:

However, if you are like me, don't be put off by the beginning. Once I waded through that, this completely became the kind of BL RomCom I was hoping for.

The MC and ML's relationship develops naturally and comfortably in an everyday way. It's written with a gentle, humourous, lighthearted but sensible tone. There are no overdramatic problems, but instead issues arise and are dealt with promptly and reasonably (which is like a breath of fresh air).

The writing of this story is fairly simple, easy-to-read and never boring, but I felt secure and relaxed and enjoyed the ride. This is a story where you enjoy the humourous tone and thoughtfulness and in the end feel like there's a sincere and satisfying relationship built.

I LOVE that this isn't the typical OP/overbearing ML x innocent and boyish/girlish MC I find in too many Chinese RomComs, especially the currently translated danmei/BL. The ML does initially appear to fit the stereotype of the too-smart, too-rich, too-handsome, cold-to-everyone-else Chinese ML, but the story instead shows him as a very normal human (well, a very handsome, very intelligent, normal human) and is able to show more of a balance between the main couple - which I've felt starved for recently.

A small nod for the other characters, too. It's not a deep or serious story, but it shows not only lively fellow students (although they are initially infuriating), but also the positives and negatives of the main couple's family members, which in turn makes the main couple have slightly more depth.

The translation is very good and the story is highly readable and enjoyable. I was really glad I'd persisted through the excruciating beginning. <<less

Read almost 3/4 of it.

Immature writing. Slow pacing. Nothing happens.

I can say that I was intrigued at first, it seemed like a novel I would enjoy, so I did my best to be patient for the story & its characters. But the novel kept it's mediocrity until the last chapter I read.

Story ended up going in circles. MC became annoying again. AND, yet, nothing remarkable/of worth happened. I get it's a slice of life novel that it's supposed to be filled with foolish misunderstandings and a s*upid amount of fluff.... more>> Despite that, I think the author could have done more with the setting, plot and characters. It was right there, but alas, failure.

Slice of life shouldn't mean a brain dead read OR boring.

I did read the other comments and I do understand why they liked it. And I am not here to debate anyone. I do want to say that if the summary and tags appeal to you, go ahead and give it a try if you know yourself an enjoyer of mindless romcom fluff. <<less

Cute, simple story with many misunderstandings.

MC is not typical native shou who depends everything on ML. He is a cool and characteristic guy.

ML is not typical cool president guy. He is genius but lazy guy who doesn't even bother to clean up his own desk.

Although their friendship starts with a misunderstanding, their feelings are mutal.

What I like about MC

... more>>
Spoiler

When they were drinking and MC complaining about his second eternal place. ML said he will give him first place and MC was mad because he is not so pitful that he need to rely on other people's charity to get 1st place. He will take 1st place by his own efforts. The next day, they have a cold war.

[collapse]

Best part about this novel.

Spoiler

"Ye Zhou.” Shang Jin suddenly called his name.

“Yeah?”

“You’re not the eternal second.” Shang Jin pointed to his own heart and said, “Here, you will always be the first.”

It was quite nice relationship in daily school routine. All of their friends really supported and ship thim as a couple. There were some trouble, but never big enough to make big quarrel.

Bit draggy in each episode, I might say. Till 44 chaps, already passed the half of novel, these two still maintain their status quo as friend, eventho there were some sparks, ambiguous moments, but it was tiny, so not enough evidence to ignite the romance.

Anw, still good for light reading, but gonna camp in other novel first

A cute little slice of life story ONLY if you can tolerate friends that are meddlesome. At first it infuriates and frustrates me when the MC's friends decided to take into their hands the matter concerning MC's "affair". Believe me when I say I am already on the verge on giving up on this novel because of that ლಠ益ಠ) ლ, so I understand where people are coming from when they decided to drop this.

BUT because these kind of friends are the very reason how the ML and MC... more>> becomes closer and were able to know each other better. So please be more patient with the MC's friends becuase it'll be worth it in the end. (ღ˘⌣˘) ♥ ℒ♡ⓥℯ That said, this is a short easy to read novel, it's cute but nothing special. 4.5/5 for me. <<less

Hmm, I read this quite a while ago but it certainly left a big enough impression for me to remember it.

Nonetheless, I can recall some parts and only positive emotions sparked. It's a really sweet novel about two rivals (though technically not 'rivals' and more of YZ having a one-sided thing) slowly falling in love before they even realise it.

Though through a small misunderstanding, the two eventually grew closer with the help of YZ's dorm mates and close friends and fall deeply in love.

Hehehe as I'm writing this I can... more>> slowly remember more and more parts! Aghh, if I wasn't so busy I would've reread this already. Anyways, this is a slow romance BL with lots of light-hearted scenes, definitely worth giving a try. 10/10 would recommend. <<less

If you're looking for a light read, fluff, non-angst, this is the right one for you. The development between MC and ML is really good, in my opinion. So natural, and very believable.

MC and ML are well-established characters. Since they're both intelligent, things move quite well, leading to little or no misunderstandings at all which makes their development quite smooth.

They're both very likeable in my opinion. MC is a good person but he's also strong-willed and cannot be pushed around. ML is one of the most respectable MLs I've ever... more>> read.

Most of the struggle they have is more personal and in relation to their families--
Spoiler

including coming out in the latter parts

-- which I think the author executed the matter well.

Storytelling, plot is pretty solid. A bit too slow on the first 30 chapters though, but it really set a good foundation for the relationship of the two which made me fine with it. Not much twists and turns, plot is pretty much straightforward and linear moving, so others might be bored but since I am in the mood for such light stories, this is really great.

Oh, though IDK if it's the author's writing style or how it was translated (which I don't think is the case since the translator seems to be really good), but some parts are a bit confusing, misnamings, etc., but it's just a few instances and won't affect your reading experience that much.

Spoiler

More on just my personal non-plot related thoughts that the novel made me think of:

This novel honestly made me hope that more gay couple/people can have the same will and inner strength as the MC/ML cause the world is obviously prejudiced.

A BL novel more on the realistic side, I can almost relate to most of MC's struggles. Struggles with family, goals, etc., were realistic I may have gotten a lesson or two on how to handle these things better. Just the lack of a partner like ML is missing 😂

Also, their first s*xual experience was one of the most passionate firsts I've read maybe hahaha. I felt like I've been force-fed by their sweetness ><

Very heartwarming! Minimal angst, school setting / university life = love <3

This story is so nice to read, had to stay up late to complete it even though I had exams (×A×) >!

The MCs and other characters are so cute and adorable my heart is so soft QwQ

... more>> Plus the misunderstandings are NOT annoying if you see more, it will bring out some keypoints for future scenarios so you shouldn't skip chapters (unless you want to I can't really stop you)

Though please give it a read, I promise its very good and worth a try! <<less

Cute story, not that heavy, minimal angst. The MC was a bit oblivious but both the MC and ML had likeable personalities and have chemistry. The other classmates and side characters had lots of parts in the novel which I found very nice, they had important roles and were funny, the main cast interactions were really good, I liked the setups that the roommates pull off. The romance portions were very fluffy, cute and funny. Conflicts between the CP were mostly misunderstanding based that were resolved neatly.

I like the brother... more>> of MC, he was very cool and supportive during the end. The MC and ML were both smart, aside from the occasional oblivious moments and I liked that they were the top at the school, which made them popular and brought lots of funny scenarios within the student body. It's a bit of a slowburn depending on how you see it but I thought the pacing made sense and the getting together part was nicely done.

The ending was also good. Would highly recommend. Fluffy, cute, light read. The most dramatic it gets is with the family part but it's a good mix with the fluff/comedy. <<less

MC's friends are absolutely ridiculous, yet funny in their own way. This novel is one of those "comedy of errors" situations where misunderstandings explode to next levels. Don't take things too seriously and enjoy the relationship between Shang Jin and Ye Zhou, with their ShangYe in a tow! They have healthy dynamics and everything is consensual! There are a few unrealistic parts, but it is a good read to escape into.

I've finished reading it in 2 days it's one of the sweetest read I had. Both the leads are very likable, at first Ye Zhou is a bit annoying because he is too stubborn about what he has in his mind but you'll gradually come to like his character, cause it made him feel like a normal person you can empathize with.

As for ML, Shang Jin (first of all I already liked him because of Jin in his name) he is one of the perfect ML I have read, the... more>> good thing about his character is he's perfectly imperfect but still very perfect. Confused? You'll get it if u read this story. It made him very likeable as well as desirable where one wish he/she has a boyfriend like him.

Another entertaining and funny plot is the roommates and university students, I love them a lot. Honestly without them I think the main leads wouldn't have been able to be together so early.

Last but not the least this story is slow burn, those who are into supernatural novels, should read it when they want to take a break with all these genre and read it for a heartfelt sweetness. That is all (～￣▽￣) ～ <<less

It's Absolutely Epic beyond my expectation!!!

The MC and ML's personality is great! How they develop their relationship is supriringly smoother than I expected. Even when the misunderstood cleared between them, it immediately goes to the important point, so the drama is not slow or annoying. It was straight to the point and I LOVE IT!!!

Their Friends is hilariously great! Their College live is Absolutely Epic Gold Win!!!

... more>> It has family drama. Even coming out moment near the ending. But absolutely well written!

The the last extra chapter is Great way to end it the story too!

Anyway this Novel is Absolutely Wonderful and Fun and Amazing! I Love it Sooo much!!! So much better than I expected! Great characters, Great story, Great ending! <<less

I literally registered an account just so I could review this novel! It's genuinely one of the best BL I've ever read. The main characters are just so much better written than the majority of novels I've read so far. There's no totally unnecessary convoluted misunderstandings or annoying plot device angst scenes it just flows nicely and the characters are super likeable. I just have so much love for this novel <3
