I'm disabled and use assistive apps; I'm also single af, so I was interested in this plotline. There was only one critical review and it made good points but the summary does imply that the MC is upset by the identity of the ML, so I decided to judge for myself after getting all the details of the story. Uh....

After becoming disabled myself, one of the biggest challenges has been finding something to do with my time. So to see the MC obsessed with the few minutes of app... more>> time talking to this guy and wanting to sleep away the rest of the day really saddened me. It's hard to get back to your life and start a new one. I wanted him to have something to look forward to. TV, audiobooks, reconnecting with friends... If you're going to write a character with trauma that uninspired by life, you need to do him justice and flesh out the journey or it comes across as a cheap device used to show how pure the ML is for loving a lonely disabled man. Maybe he starts to piece his life together in the extras, idk.

And that might've been tolerable to read if the ML was different. But second, the ML is gross. The moment ML contacts the MC on his own accord, lies about it, and automatically turns on the MCs front camera (and does not disclose it), I knew I was done with this story. The summary says the MC refuses him after learning the truth so I still read to see how this pathetic ML tries to defend himself.

Welp! It gets worse. There's literal stalking, sneaking around a blind person... ML Did not deserve to be forgiven especially since he goes and does the SAME invasive stuff during and after his apology. I don't know how that's cute to some people.

Of course after being lied to,
Spoiler

MC reverts even further back into his shell and becomes more afraid of the world. Then ML has the nerve enough to ask after some months "Are you still angry?" As if he doesn't realize what he did really crossed the line.

[collapse]

We all have apps these days right? We worry about our devices spying on us. We put covers on our webcams and block website tracking. Now imagine an actual person, the developer, invading your privacy because they fell for you at first sight. Everyday I go outside by myself I have to worry about someone taking advantage of me through the guise of helping a disabled person. So to read this ML who does such inappropriate things to take advantage of a guy in really vulnerable circumstances who he still gets in the end disgusts me. And I wouldn't leave a review if not for all the positive reviews. I really don't think you have to be disabled to understand how NOT cute and NOT fluffy this is... but in case my viewpoint helps anyone not waste their time on this, here you go. <<less

Cute? Nah.

Spoiler

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think an app developer abusing client's data and acting kind of like a stalker is very cute. Like, MC not being upfront about how he wants to talk to ML more? Ok. ML not being upfront about meeting MC in a public space multiple times, which later hurts MC and saddens him? No. Also, couldn't really tell if extra 2 was dub-con or not???

[collapse]

Extra 1 was pretty cute though, but I'm not gonna continue this.

note: The main story is shounen-ai, and the extras are what makes it yaoi.

THIS IS A FLUFF GOLDMINE.

I am dying from fluff as I type this right now.

... more>> You can't see me but I can assure you I am grinning ear to ear.

This story is an adorable read about an introverted blind boy who virtually connects with a kind stranger on an app built to help the blind/visually impaired with some some mundane tasks. He probably looks forward to these little meetings more than he should, but it's okay, since the other party is also hopelessly enamored with the cute beibei on the other side of the screen.

there's very little conflict, and it's resolved in a heartwrenching way (as in - CUTE heartwrenching). The characters are so endearing (especially the aunt, like can we please have more lovely women supporting cast member who AREN'T portrayed as b*tches?), and the main story was a pretty short read.

I would read this if I was sad, and heck i'd read it even if I wasn't. It just gives you "feel-good" simplicity vibes, and I could gush about this for hours.

just read it.

I smiled and grinned like a goof the whole way through. <<less

This is in no way a heartwarming or fluffy story. It feels like story you would hear in true crime podcast of some IT genius creating an app and secretly used it to stalk user that caught his interest. Too makes it more uncomfortable the user is disabled and the ML clearly used it to his advantages.

Because what in talking angela bullsh*t makes author think its romantic to have ML secretly access MC's phone camera to take a peek at MC face and poor MC wouldnt able to know someone is spying on him because he is blind.

[collapse]
Creating an app that supposed to help blind person but used it to invade blind person privacy instead ? This just makes me so mad that I just cant find myself to see things ML did as romantic or fluffy. For me he is just a creep. There lots of questionable thing the ML has done to MC throughout the story. As I said he used MC blindness to his own personal advantages alot which is very disturbing.

Also MC in term of disabled person isnt written so well. I think the author clearly lack understanding/research for blind person and the trauma of losing sight. Which makes MC feels super 2d and it clearly show the author only written MC as such only to use it as plot device to have ML comes to MC life and be his only source of "light". Which I could tolerate if the ML is decent in the very least but as I mention earlier the ML is VERY FAR from the word decent and is much closer to the word criminal. <<less

As the other reviewer stated, this a pretty short read--but oh my goodness is it sweet.

Both the MC and ML are absolutely adorable, and the entire story is so warm and soft... so nice. It's a great fic to read in-between the angst-fests.

I think this clearly written by someone that never stopped to think how a disabled person my feel.

Taking advantage of a blind person for your personal interest is disgusting, "oh, he can't see me so I'm going to take advantage, stalk them, lie to them and pretend I don't use their blindness to invade their privacy, yeah that cute" 🙄

I'm tired of this type of narratives and people thinking it's fluffy and sweet.

The ML is just like those s*upid people that take advantage of blind people because they can't see,... more>> like pretending to not be present in a room since they can't see, or omitting information, like it's not creepy that he didn't said anything about the camera <<less

Favorite line:

"Why is there no kiss kiss?"—c extra 1

This is the novel to turn to if you want your blood sugar levels to skyrocket & enter into a diabetic coma. On a side note, I really appreciate apps that are big on providing disability services.

A very short read (I think the extras are longer than the main story, I haven't exactly finished the extras) but it's really sweet. Almost like a hidden identity story between ML and MC. MC is blind and very introvert while, as sypnosis states, ML is the creator of the app that MC uses. The app basically ... more>>
Spoiler

let's the blind person connect to either an AI or a volunteer to help them in tasks such as identifying clothes, finding items, see if certain food items are spoilt etc. Via the camera of the phone. It seems like a pretty good app to me. ML originally was on it as a tester since he did make the app and MC's aunt downloaded it for him to help him so they met by fate. ML later finds MC irl but ofc MC doesn't know it since he can't see hence the hidden identity aspect.

[collapse]

I really like their interaction as it's really cute and the story is really short, I almost wish it was longer. But the extras are nice as it just shows their cute interactions in bite size shorts.

So overall a sweet short story. <<less

The story and interactions were fine. But the thing there's no background or justification as why MC was wanted to be huddled in a lonely room. If he suffered from any trauma, and why he didn't liked interacting with outside world. Just making a character so as to make him solely dependent on one person for sake of touching romance, it didn't do the justice. Whenever or wherever you are, there are people always to to connect and bond to, who would love to listen to you.

Spoiler

And that app really has some spooky features. Imagine how creepy it would be if a person blanatly takes a peek at you by automatically activating the camera of your device without permission and you don'thave any idea about it. I think it was more of a Spyware rather than a proper aiding app. The ml's brain circuit was not right at all.

Assuming it's already completed novel, I'm satisfied either way.

Anyway, this Novel is PURE FLUFF!!! I'm serious!!! If I have ever said many other novel are Pure Fluff or just Fluff Fluff Fluff, their percentage of Fluff was probably 70-80%, compared to this Novel that has 99% of Daily Life of FLUFF!!!

Comedic Fluff, Sweet Fluff, Cute Fluff, Ridiculous Funny Fluff, Heartwarming Fluff. So many type of Fluff ~

I don't trust people who give it Love rating below 3.... Even though I still can't believe someone actually give this novel a rate... more>> below 4 stars???!!! Are we Reading the Same Novel???

No Complication. The Drama was only in the main story that only has 5 Chapters, and the Drama was so Short!!! And the rest are just their Daily Life as Couple. Funny, Relaxing, and Precious!!!

I'm Envious and Pray for their Happily Ever After Always!!!

I'm truly truly in Love and Drowning in Happiness and Relaxation created by this Novel. Precious and Loving it with my Eternal Love, Heart and Soul, for the Eternity and Beyond !!! <<less

Cute🤗. I love it😍. It's very heartwarming and a beautiful fate. Like you can't pity the MC for being unable to see because he is so SMART 😭😍. The ML is very caring 🤗from the very start though there's a misunderstanding at the start but it's quickly solved. Just read it if you like AND don't forget to read the extras because it's too FUNNY and too SWEET.

One of the sweetest and fluffiest novels out there! MC and ML are so adorable. Indeed the story takes up about 5 chapters and the rest are short stories about their daily lives.

This one is the closest to reality among all the novels that I've read.

This is about two regular people, ML's an app developer, an app that helps the blind to be their "eyes" while the MC's becomes detached to the world eversince he lost his eyesight.

The story is only 5 chapters long but the extras are the sweetest! This might be very short but it'll make you feel single AF. Lol. So enjoy the ride and smile with the couple as they embark their life's journey!

Oh oh oh

The main story is extremely short yeah...

Short yet good enough to deserve 5 stars

The yaoi part is in the extras by the way.

I highly recommend this if you want to read something light and just want some candy treats.

This story, you guys. This is beautiful. All you angst lovers out there, like me, if you are thinking about skipping it only becoz the other reviews talk about fluff and cuteness..... please please please don't. Just read it. The way they crave each other, desire for each other - I cannot explain in words how touching it is. If this is not love, I don't know what love is.

A brilliant story. Kudos to the author and thanks to the translator.

Iconic quotes from beibei: "I feel like I'm a frog" lmao. The the ML: "Omg you can't think of yourself like that"

I'm paraphrasing but once you get to that chapter, you will understand. Why. It. Is. Too funny.

Anyways, this is cute af. I haven't finished the extras but the main story is quick and nice. The misunderstanding is only slightly frustrating but very quick to resolve reading about it.
