Gentle Forest

Description

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

Born with fragile lungs, Seowon has lived deep in the forest with his father ever since leaving the city.

Life stays quiet until one summer, when his father’s old friend James comes to visit, bringing his son Aiden along.

While the two fathers head off on a hiking trip, Seowon and Aiden are left alone.

Aiden, who treats Seowon with the same quiet care his father does, quickly earns his trust. And as he starts to close the space between them, not just as a friend but something more, Seowon finds himself caught off guard—and yet he doesn’t want to pull away.

Maybe it’s because Aiden shared a secret meant only for him.

For the first time, Seowon starts to see a male friend in a different light.

A hug becomes a kiss, and before they know it, they’ve crossed a line they can’t uncross. After a summer filled with warmth and closeness, something unexpected changes everything. Aiden returns to the United States, and the twelve-hour time difference stretches between them like an ocean.

But that same “complication” might be what brings them back together—sooner than either of them imagined.

5 stars!!! It is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read, I started reading its adaptation to Manwha, but the novel is not far behind, I like that after the first half the author wrote in such a way that I wouldn't know if I was reading a Western romantic novel to a Korean novel, the details she writes, the love relationship between the protagonists, everything reminded me of the typical American college romance novels, loaded with a lot of passion, I thank the translators, seriously, what... more>> a great job, and thank you for letting me read the work. <<less

It is an interesting read.

I found it somehow boring and slow at first but I didn't want to drop it. Especially as I found the overly descriptive writing style too much sometimes.

The two characters aren't experienced yet; their age reflects in their actions, thinking and words. So their relationship isn't perfect and it's quite innocent. I like that. They're so cute.

... more>> They're both possessive too. Though I'm worried their jealousy is kinda extreme, lol.

There's a lot of smut. These two are like rabbits whenever they get started, lol.

The translation is good too 👍

Btw, I kinda ship the granddads 🫣🚶😁 <<less

Ok. So. WOW. I'll say the latter half is MUCH better than the first half it terms of character development but also their relationship. Where the first half was most strong was building tension and setting the stage for their eventual romance. But the first few times they have s*x it's a bit tough to read because of how Aiden treats Seowon (but this aspect gets better later in the novel when they are older. In a way it makes sense because they are both young when they start their... more>> s*xual relationship and are both inexperienced) The Hi-key r*pey scenes and overall just roughness (and not in a good way) is just though to read. But like I said, it gets better and is semi-properly addressed later by the characters. Overall it was a decent read. The translation was a bit difficult to understand at times and I had to fill in some gaps myself while reading, but overall it was readable. I give this 3 stars mainly because of the pacing in the beginning and those s*x scenes I mention before.

I wish we got more cute scenes with Joy and the grandfathers but alas, we can't win then all can we? <<less
