... the ending was so unsatisfactory.

let me firstly just say that if a "straight" man can be "bent, " then he wasn't straight to begin with. I can usually ignore this illogical notion when it appears in BL novels if the BL novel has enough other good points. but not in this novel!

generally speaking, the MC has some sort of realization that he himself actually likes the ML. then, there're comedic shenanigans until the two get together in a loving, two-way relationship.

you get nothing of the sort in this novel. after the MC finds out that the ML likes him, he is shocked and frightened enough to run out immediately. sure, that's fine, I too would be freaked tf out if I saw an entire room filled with photos of me. ahem. I honestly wouldn't mind this plot point if it were then given a satisfactory resolution. but nope, the MC gets together with the ML the next morning.

no, our dense MC didn't have an epiphany where he realized that he liked the ML all along... he got together with the ML because he felt "moved" by how the ML cooks, cleans, and s*aves away for him. excuse me? what is that supposed to mean? I know that this is just supposed to be a light read, but the way that this ending is written makes it feel like the MC is taking pity on the ML by deigning to be in a relationship with him.

all in all, if you take the whole "straight man being bent by a gay !! owo" messaging into account, this novel feels like the most homophobic BL i've read in a long time.

edit: the ML is a sweetie with absolutely zero self-respect. he deserves far better than a man who will maybe like him back somewhere down the line... after years of being waited on hand and foot.

now that I think about it, maybe I'm so mad b/c this reminds me of misogyny. like, I read BL to get AWAY from antiquated gender dynamics. why does our poor shou ML act like a 50s housewife? beats me.

I gave it 2/5 stars, just because the narrative isn't really to my liking and the plot is boring. I don't think the writer's worldview has any problems, as the previous reviews said, though.

First of all, I don't believe in the word that said "if a straight man can be bent, then he wasn't straight to begin with." lol many of my gay friends really fond of bending the straight guys, the type that have girlfriend all their life and probably end up marrying a girl if nothing happens. But... more>> ofc I think everyone has bis*xual tendencies, and many men's wills are weak when it comes to their carnal desire, which has nothing to do with this story at all (ー_ー゛)

well, I quite like the CP, to be honest; the MC is very silly and sunny, and the ML is gentle and virtuous. It's just that the "internet forum" kind of narration (which contains tons of unrelated and incomprehensible comments) isn't really to my taste, and it's hard to enjoy. <<less

I had a toothache after only reading two chapters (sigh) The MC is really dense that he even considered ML to be his love rival when it is so obvious that he is the one that ML clearly likes. I mean who on Earth had a roommate that will laundry your clothes (and would even be sad if you wash your own clothes), cook for you, clean the dorm without you lifting a finger and even sweetly wait in a long line just to get you food 🤷🏻‍♀️ ML is... more>> too sweet and MC is so cute. A word of caution for single-dogs out there that you will be fed dog food just like the commenters in the novel 😂 Anyway, if you just want a fluffy and heartwarming BL novel then this is for you. <<less

Was thinking of giving 5 stars untill the last chapter. Now I am so disappointed I really wonder why I ever cl**ked on this.

This is one of the few times I can say the author may write danmei, but is infact homophobic. My mood is so ruined after reading those paragraphs.

One person in the story said, "a homos*xual bent a straight guy in my school and whe the matter got revealed the straight guy was forced to move and homos*xual didn't feel remorse at all", tf?? The author, do you... more>> really have this kind of mentality? Instead of blaming the society, you choose to blame homosexuals? And how tf do you bend a straight guy anyways? This narrative is so harmful and I was very disgusted after reading this.

Also the ML in the story never confessed his love because the ML thought "he (MC) is a straight guy with good future. How can I bend him and ruin his future?", bit*h if you bend him that means he had always been gay or bi, you can't change someone's sexuality.

I am convinced that the author will likely kick out her son if her son comes out as lgbt+ lol, cause this weird mentality is something else. I could not believe I was reading a danmei novel.

So it will be zero stars from my side. <<less

So cute omg. It's extremely short, the whole story is just a forum were people just talk about the mc's situation. I wish there were more chapters like an extra 4 chapters were 2 are in the pov of the MC but with the ML and 2 in the pov of the ml..... I don't even know the ml's name which makes me a little sad. And from what I read the ML is the best f*cking ML you could ever have..... he's so precious.

it's ok. The shou plays like a devoted wife, what can you expect? Sometimes you can see clearly that the shou are present as ideal hosewife from my grandparents or grand-grandparents time. ABO are full of these representation. Omega that are submissive as ideal women shoud be in misogenistic mind.

a story that could be funny about a really dumb gong, ends like that. And the author, instead of saying that the h*mophobia is only from the characters themselves, adds a note saying that those homophobics remarks are all based in true stories.

it looks that the only reference the author has are those many many novels in which the ML actually likes women, but the love for the male MC is above gender. I'm sick of it.

sorry.

MC is a dense little sun and ML his moon (perfect husband material).

I love that ML has goodies and games in her pockets for MC. I literally want one like that for myself.

If you want to read something adorably sweet, this is for you.

Sexuality doesn't really have a play here; not all that important, because if one person likes another person or just enjoys a persons company, than why must they define it. And 'Bent' is just a term to say that they now bat for the other team, he could've been straight before. Why all the straight hate??? Hahaha~

[collapse]

Anyways, good story; fluffy and nice, not at all a serious read. Short enough to read when you're on a break from a task, etc.

Short. Funny. Light read. Perfect to have for "in-between" after you read a long novel and need to wash off the after-effect before reading another long novel.
