Awkward

Description

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

Ye Mu knew that Yan Chen didn’t love him, but he always simply thought that accompanying him meant declaring one’s love in the long run.

For eight whole years, he had been revolving around Yan Chen’s world, believing that he could just keep going like this.

But when Gu Huai came back, everything changed.

Yan Chen dumped him, the reason his whole family’s property went bankrupt, and his father suffered a heart attack in a fit of anger.

He was in a tight spot, he was deeply hurt and under despair decided to give up. In the end, he went to another company and shed his last ounce of strength to work. He unexpectedly met his boss, Chen Mo, who hated gay men the most. A lot of interesting things happened between the two.

Yan Chen had always been disgusted and irritated by Ye Mu, thinking that he was just a cheap person. After breaking up with Ye Mu, he decided to marry Gu Huai. But after marriage, he always remembered every little detail of being with Ye Mu, and felt that he must have been too disgusted with this person.

He started to look for Ye Mu time after time, and Ye Mu always refused. Yan Chen felt that it was nothing, this was merely another cheap trick of the other party by playing hard to get.

But one day, when he found out that Ye Mu no longer loved him and was with Chen Mo, Yan Chen felt strange.

Why did he feel so tight in his chest? Why did he feel so angry?

Then things became very awkward (ˉ▽ ̄~)

The author should title this as "regret" due to plot. I feel frustrated reading this novel at first. What keeps me reading this is to see MC's new relationship with Chen Mo (illegitimate brother of his scum ex), and I really like the ML, ChenMo. I want to see the sweet moments between MC and ML ❤️ LESS 1⭐ because I'm annoyed with the push n pull between MC n ML near the ending. And I feel the ending of SCUM is a lacking. I can't vent the frustration while reading this. There's also the unrealistic explanation of MC at the end. It's HE


GLIMPSE OF STORY
MC helped Yan Chen a lot. During his depression and near bankruptcy of company and made it well known company. But that Yan Chen did the opposite to MC. He cheated him, hurted him by having an affair, made the MC's family bankrupt bcoz Gu Huai wants it, and many more!! I honestly feel bad that I wish that this was "a cannon fodder counter attack" novel. Luckily, he met the ML

I usually see brain-dead villains in novels due to their unreasonable actions but this is my first time to see a brain dead MC due to love!!! The MC is the Definition of STUP!D. The result of his miserable life is just a consequence of his action by keep on loving yan Chen s*upidly. The ex is the embodiment of SCUM, While having Gu Huai, the person whom Yan Chen loves and f*ck!ng with, this bastard Yan Chen still wants to have s3x with MC.
More scum moments of the EX
Spoiler

>MC's dad got a heart attack because the MC loaned to bank their ancestral house for his company. And it was Yan Chen/Gu huai who made that company bankrupt. Really a scum!!! A bastard!!!

>the MC used yan chen's company fund to help yan chen's business. But Gu huai wanted the MC to be imprisoned using that, falsifying that the MC rob the company's fund. And the f*ck!ng scum was convinced by Gu huai to sign the false document or else he will divorce him. Luckily the ML intervened ❤️
>On the day of yan Chen wedding with gu huai, he went to MC after and wanted to even r*pe him

Hmmm I thought the titled should be "awkward" for the direct translation but that aside, this is a real dog-blood drama book with not so healthy relationships (less so for the main CP but the main CP itself isn't smooth sailing). Let me first address the tags (which I went in knowing but it still affected my rating) :

Affair: ... more>>
Spoiler

Let me set up the stage first. Scum had a white moonlight ex-bf who came back, leading to scum breaking up with MC at start of book for white moonlight. So scum did cheat on MC with white moonlight. Also, this crosses to next tag, but scum always tries to come onto MC DESPITE being with white moonlight afterwards hence the affair tag. Tolerable level once you know the tag is there.

[collapse]

There was a r*pe tag when I first saw this novel but it's gone now? But for the dub-con (which was understandable for the first and made me disappointed for the next) :
Spoiler

MC met scum at some work event that led to heavy drinking early in the book right after breaking up so MC was understandably still in love with scum and upset --> heavy drinking ensues and MC gets VERY drunk. Scum takes advantage of it and they sleep together (so the affair comes in too as scum is at that point in a relationship with white moonlight) but note MC is not a willing partner so MC is not a scum. MC is not a xiao san. Later part of the book, the first sleep scene of MC and ML is also a dub-con (MC under the influence of meds he accidentally took and ML kind of forcing himself on MC) which made me very disappointed in ML because he was so good until that point!

[collapse]

The not so healthy relationship:
Spoiler

First, as expected, MC was deeply in love with scum. Tbh, this part I actually thought was well written and enjoyed because it was realistic. He didn't just snap and decided to move on so quickly but had emotional turmoil. Their relationship was never healthy. Next, white moonlight and scum also had an unhealthy relationship, I kind of pitied white moonlight for his end but alas he was not a good character too. Finally, I felt that ML eventually had this frantic yearn for MC that made him chase after MC, even going as far as begging the scum and giving away a lot of things. Also, MC did something really bad to ML in the past and I felt it wasn't addressed enough other than an apology, for them to move forward. It just felt like ML wanted to move forward more than MC (who kept running away). Towards the end, I almost would have been okay if they didn't end up together and be happy separately.

[collapse]

But for all my spoilers and rant, I actually really enjoyed the first half of the book and progress (I would have given it 5 stars! MC and ML interaction in the first half was the best). It only kind of went downhill in the second half with the relationship progression. <<less

I mtl everything. I could not wait for the translation, the mtl is not great, but I understood most of it lol. I love the ML, and MC was a bit annoying at the end but still good. Good smut.. Even mtling it, it was hot :). I think the scum deserved the end. People said he deserves more suffering, but for me, the end is suffering enough.

For me is 5 star; I would love it to read translated. We only give value to translators once we read mtl novels,... more>> but to be honest, I always give them coffee. I patron some and always buy the novel to help the author. Thanks to all translators out there :) <<less

Spoilers ahead:

The plot is forced too much between the ML and the MC, I didnt like the many concidiences and the way the ML kept pushing is annoying, ML doesnt have no in his vocabularly, it annoyed me very much how the MC kept refusing to have s*x while the ML turned a deaf ear to it and r*ped him many times over, this is not the worst part though, if it wasnt for ML intervention the MC would have gone to jail because of his scum ex selfish acts... more>> to please his new lover as MC did many illegal things to help his ex develop his business, which is another miraculious considience where ML found legal evidence in the mc's house under the tile in the bathroom which he inexpiably broke, that can overturn the case and make ex go to jail, while the MC is ignorant, what really gave me a shoke is when the ex came demanding MC give him this evidence the MC did naturaly without a fight, because the ML " trusted " him not to open these documents back when they were together but he didnt stop their, after he burned them in front of his eyes he told him this evidence could have got him out of jail, so he can know the extent of his s*upidity and cheapness, do you see the MC doesnt fight back, all of this is done by the ml, it is more like a fight between them with MC as the prize, this weakness is disgusting and the author is forcing the MC to be like this, I would have loved a different perspective like if MC was the one who found the evidence in his care and fought his ex at court, if the MC was given a time to get out of his past emotions instead of being hounded by ML like this, I dont think it is realistic that MC can have a relationship so soon with no abnormality or that ML who is extremely homophobic can change in a matter of a month, and I especially dont like that the ML looks almost like his ex, which contributed to the building of their relationship, I was genuinely questioning if there is something wrong with author's head when the ML and MC had public s*x on the beach in front of a seven years old child , it infuriates me that a novel with a promising plot got burned like that <<less

stop mtl-ing at chap 82.

The plot is okay, I find the angst I am looking for. However the villains didn't meet their redemption properly. They r all continuing being shameless. Hardcore egoistic and self-centered.

Scumbag and white moonlight truly match made from slump. They r never decent to be regarded in norm value. Both are self-centered, selfish, egoistic, twisted, and wretched. Scumbag only valued MC after he knew the truth even so, he proudly thinks MC's love for him endless and he will get whatever he wants. He just simply created... more>> to be self-centered beyond hope. ML only valued MC after knowing MC is the one he fall for, means that everyone else who is insignificant is okay to be treated like tr*sh.

White moonlight no better, another egoistic narcisst. Regretly, he ends up rather simply:
Spoiler

went to jail

[collapse]

To this chapter near the end, I find the angst I craved but not satisfaction for redemption. Maybe it will in later chapter, but I'm too fed up of MC's forgiveness. I know love is complicated and it did happen irl that one can't hate no matter how much they r suffering. Nevertheless, MC's endless bottom line is frustrating. <<less

Ye Mu is with Yan Chen for 8 years, helping with his company and making sacrifices for him but the moment his white moonlight, Gu Hai comes back, Yan Chen kicks Ye Mu out of his own villa and bankrupts the Ye family to satisfy GH.
Spoiler

Ye Mu is pathetic and still lets Yan Chen walk all over him and answers his calls hoping things have changed while Yan Chen doesn’t want to admit that he’s having trouble letting go despite getting married to GH. Ye Mu finds a job and eventually gets together with his boss Chen Mo.

I feel like Yan Chen didn’t suffer enough tbh and at the end it seemed shitty that Ye Mu was making Chen Mo suffer when Ye Mu was the one who participated in sending him to prison when he was young because Yan Chen asked him to. Chen Mo wasn’t even the scum gong, why was he suffering??? Ye Mu kept talking to Yan Chen throughout and still had lingering feelings but when it comes to Chen Mo he can finally grow some balls and leave without saying a word and firmly resist getting back together? I definitely liked the first part more than the last part but I still enjoyed it overall.
