I Decided To Go On a Trip Since I Received Consolation Money

Description

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

My childhood friend Gio, who grew up with me in an orphanage, became a hero.

It was said that Gio, who successfully defeated the demon king and returned, will become a member of the noble class and marry the princess!

It seemed that I, who had been running the orphanage since the death of the old director, had been judged to be an unsuitable friend for Gio in the future.

The princess offered me gold coins and said,

”You promise you’ll never see Gio again, right?”

I liked the characters a lot, ML is wonderful which is such a rare thing. However the story itself was a bit boring, uneventful with a lot of unnecessary fillers.

There isn't much here yet, but I love what there is so far. Not a ton of action and the pacing is rather slow. Yet, I find that the characterization that come from these slow period make up for that.

I haven't really gotten a good grasp on the MC yet because he is only really in the first chapter, but love what I have heard of him so far. At first, I kind of got this impression that the MC was just being a pushover. However, after hearing a lot... more>> of the background about him from the perspective of the ML and the MC's reasoning as to why he would listen to the princess's request for him to leave (it is not all about the cruel things people said to him) things started to make more sense. MC is a really self sacrificing person, even to a fault as everything he does takes into account the well-being of others.

The ML may appear to be mean and kind of a brute, but he loves the MC a lot and not in a creepy way. ML is somewhat hard to understand, being very straightforward about a lot of things and only really holding back the truth of his emotions, especially about the person he loves. The MC in the first chapter may say that they don't get along, but even those who are critical of him have to admit that the two know each other well. This is especially evident when ML finally tells all of his concerned friends exactly why he acts the way that he does toward MC, effectively shaming them for the way that they made assumptions and behaved as a result of those assumptions. I won't do into the details here (though it is still early in the text, it is really worth the read), but basically the ML is endlessly devoted to the MC and doesn't expect anything back for that devotion. It is all really sweet and I was so happy to be reading a story where the seme doesn't want to force his partner into anything.

I look forward to seeing more of the MC and love the ML. This is a nice, if slow, story and I look forward to reading more. <<less

Its kind of giving me the same vibes as the Travelling Hero Wont Let the Innkeepers Son Escape, except that this is post hero journey and the Hero and the MC aren't super best friends.

I like dense MCs and tsundere male leads so this one so far fits the bill. There is also a good reason for why the ML and MC are not in a relationship yet or why the MC is not aware of the MLs feelings

There are parts that are a little bit dragging but the translation... more>> is good and the story seems interesting so I'm looking forward to the updates! <<less

It's just chapter 5 and it's boring. Not many actions just kids doing disputes. And nothing logical. The ML is angry in stead of the MC but he didn't run after him. Just staying to show his anger to the person causing the problem. Why are all jp novels this inferior quality than Chinese ones?. Either the MC is weak witted or the narrative quality is very bad.

I think what dissatisfies me most about this story is the MC. He just comes across as dispassionate and unbothered by the whole 'tragic' misunderstanding he has with the hero.

Spoiler

Even his acceptance of the Hero's sudden confession is summed up as "What a shame. You have bad taste."

[collapse]

In the end I just found myself wishing them both the best, but being completely disinterested in reading anymore about these two.

It's Really Wonderful Novel! It's Heartwarming and Comforting and Super Sweet!

At the beginning of the novel, the other characters had misunderstood about Reiru (uke) 's character, while in Rei's view, he misunderstood some of Gio's (seme) feelings toward him. So from his Unreliable Narrative, at the beginning, we (or at least me) would though Gio was a Tsundere who hide his feelings. But actually it's NOT!

Our Gio here was Fully focus on his Protectiveness and Caring and Lovingness toward Rei. He just don't say it loudly, but all his actions... more>> was actually loud, far from Subtle. People misunderstood because it's confuse them why Gio so 'nice' to other MALE.

Anyway, there's no actual Drama, or any Big/Long/Heavy one. Just a tiny bit of Rei's feelings.

Gio is So Sweet and Truly a Devoted Loving Patient one.

This novel is Truly Fluff and Super Nice and I Love it SOOOOO MUCH!!! Forever LOVING IT FOR ETERNITY AND BEYOND!!! <<less

5 stars: Unusual wholesome short calm fluff featuring a typically oblivious uke who has always thought the seme disliked him and a tsundere seme who is very caring and thoughtful but is too straightforward and uncommunicative to properly express it. There are a lot of misunderstandings everywhere on all sides, from the uke to the seme to the assorted supporting cast, but! Most of these misunderstandings aren't super s*upid and are based on first impressions and ignorant assumptions—and very refreshingly, they're not only quickly parsed out and dealt with, but... more>> the parties involved actually feel bad and apologize for getting the wrong idea on their own and treating people poorly. The level of maturity, humility, accountability, and grace is almost unreal for the genre (or real life for that matter). And man am I here for it after all the head-bangingly dumb misunderstandings drawn out for entire volumes of other yaoi stories. The translation is also very good.

The story initially reads like a typical yaoi manga, like, the first sentence of my review tells you everything—but it's like the author was tired of reading the same repetitive dumb romantic tropes and thought, "Hmm, what if after the story-trigger initial dumb misunderstanding, the characters actually met up right away and talked to each other and communicated properly and openly? What if after a stereotypical silly misunderstanding the couple addressed it swiftly and were open about what they misunderstood? What if when the characters hear something weird or off-base from the other party, they actually asked about it and headed off another misunderstanding instead of not questioning it and letting things snowball?"

And the result is a sweet, simple story about misunderstandings not happening (or being swiftly and reasonably resolved) and how two blockheaded-in-different-ways guys manage to realize they're in love, sort through what their feelings and aspirations are, and cooperatively try to figure out how to align their differing visions of the future without melodrama or angst.

Smut scenes are included and include consent, respect, and not taking advantage of situations where consent is compromised. WOW. Ikr?

Initially felt this as 3.5 stars as I read because it's pleasant but not exactly gripping, then as I thought more about it bumped it up to 4 stars because it's such an unusually consent-and-respect-filled story, and then finally thought about it more and gave it 5 stars because stories don't have to be all about being gripped by suspense or flushed with passion or rife with conflict and I realized after I finished how much I actually enjoyed this story. This story is short but just the right length to subvert common tropes and weave a nice tale about an honest relationship. While I do like being highly invested in dramatic stories and passionate affairs beset by constant conflict, there's just something sweet and nice and decent about a story shedding unhealthy and dramatic expectations and being healthy and wholesome instead, you know? <<less

Love that ML is placing an obvious boundaries against other people like the times that they mentioned that ML refused to give kiss to women's hand or pretend to kiss their hand (just puting his head near the back of the hand without the lips touching, this activity is sort of like Filipino young people's polite way of greetings to elders but only difference is that Filipino put the back of the hand close to their forehead and I believeit's called bless cuz I often hear them say, "bless ka sa lolo mo")

It's worth reading... tho I am treating it like a short story and treating ch13 like it's the end, mostly bc the pace is very slow and it's not to my taste rn, BUT it is a good story, with realistic characters who develop (esp the heroes who understand their wrongs, reflect and apologise - that sort is hard to find nowadays)

Not just that but the leads understand each other well, there's no one being forced and it's a sweet story about two ppl doing their best for the... more>> ppl they want to protect... worth reading fs <<less

Decided to write this after reading ch 13 and the previous review under the spoiler tab. For goodness sake, don't make a review that misled people who's planning to read this story.

I'm gonna say this only for the spoiler part, that MC's saying that with no bad intention. He's just giving bad jokes considering the situation. What can you do if you're in that kind of situation really, esp when the princess is (in overall, except for the relationship with ML) in better "condition" compared to MC himself.

Til ch 13,... more>> eventho this story actually not my cup of tea, it's quite emotional and not necessarily bad. MC had a hard life, and he tried his best in whatever he does, I don't think this as a bad read. Let see if I change my mind after finishing the story.

*EDITED*

finished the story. It's quite satisfactory considering it's a short one. It's still not my cup of tea with confusing pov and not knowing who's saying what. MC and ML understand each other-character wise. Means, ML knows when MC was tired and doesn't even speak it out to others. MC knows ML has a rough style but actually nice. It's just that MC, despite not s*upid, bcoz of having a bland past, and his struggling during his almost 30 years of his life, he become a lil bit slow catching ML's innuendo, while ML bcoz he thinks he knows MC, keeping silence and guarding MC the best he can, they never crossed the friendzone. This is actually a rare relationship compared to other stories, where the relationship rather ambiguous and ended up having so many misunderstandings. Hate that, really~

So yeah, the beginning is hard to read, but I love both MC and ML. But since it's a very short story, there're almost no character development, only MC being "alive" and for the snu snu part, more open. Lol <<less
