My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn’t Need Any Comforting

Description

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

Qiao Shao, who worked hard to stay up all night and study, was first in class — if you count from the bottom.

He Shen, who was able to get a perfect score even when he slept all day, in a rare display of kindness, bought a bottle of drink to comfort his s*upid seatmate.

Then he saw the messages popping up on Qiao Shao’s phone—

Dad: Don’t panic, it’s okay if you didn’t do well in the exam. Dad just ordered a new sports car for you.

Granddad: Grandson, there’s no need to hurry. It’s alright even if you didn’t do well in your exam. Granddad bought a new yacht for you, come and take a break.

Grandpa: Grandson, don’t cry, it’s okay if you didn’t do well in the exam. Grandpa’s billions-worth of properties are all yours.

With a blank expression, He Shen threw his 2.5 Yuan worth bottle of drink into the tr*sh.

Hold your horses! Comfort?

4.5 rounding off to 5.

Spoiler

I wanna vote 4 since some chapters were a tad bit short, but since it's Long Qi... OK let's be biased. Lol.

[collapse]

The description was actually cute but the two main characters' story background isn't.

It's a story of being both saved by love and family and/or being ruined by it. (Both this sentence above applies to the main characters life, Qiao Shao and He Shen respectively; and the people that's involve with them.) And a battle with their internal demons and how to overcome them with the power of love. (Kinda sappy but that's what this is really is it about.) Just read it. And you'll probably understand why.

Also, it would be explained why the MC is actually underachieving here. It kinda have to do with his past before he entered his new school. And it's kinda sad *cries*....

I think people who were having internal struggles and anxieties would really understand and empathize with the MC if they tried to read this.

It's good but short lol. I read this for twelve hours non-stop lololol. <<less

Read it some time ago, so I cannot give a lengthy review on it since I forgot quite a lot. BUT I do remember thinking "Why did I spend my time on this?" at the end.

The beginning was not bad, but then I had to force myself to further read it. I hoped the ending would make up for it, but I was let down.

I do not recommend it. 3 stars is the maximum with indulgence I can give it.

I debated on giving it 2 stars but then thinking that I read it for so long and did invest time in it, I ended up giving it 3 stars. This novel made me sooooooooo frustrated and angry, I have so many complaints about it!

First of all, why tf the synopsis came so f*cking late?!! It came after 80 chapters and it went totally different from what it seems like it's going to be in synopsis. I'm so angry about it! Idk what... more>> I thought the story is gonna be like but definitely this wasn't it.

The misunderstandings are beyond s*upid and just frustrating! Every chapter there's a new misunderstanding and it gets old very soon. The author dragged the matter of the identity getting exposed for so long that I just gave up in the end. I read till ch 84 then skipped ahead to see when exactly it gets revealed and it gets revealed like after ch 95 or something! WTF!!! I might just spit out blood from all the anger that I'm feeling rn.

I think personally this story could have been some chapters shorter and just get wrapped up nicely. It's long because of all the misunderstandings and the author dragging it out. I can't believe any characters could be so s*upid as to see something right in Front of them and then just make some s*upid excuse for it themselves when they r so close to the truth! F*ck, I'm so frustrated. <<less

I really liked this story - it was engaging, had great character development, and mild mystery that slowly unwraps itself (in a slightly anticlimactic way). The author did the misunderstanding and unraveling of the misunderstandings very well. There was humor, sweetness, and growth. However, I think the ending was disappointing. I love a nice face slapping, but mean, overzealous revenge against someone who already had dementia and is nearing the end of their life is just cruel. I think it's worse because we don't personally witness the injustice the... more>> revenge is for, but are instead just told about it. This made me skim the ending with one eye closed. Also, I thought the use of wealth in the beginning of the story was funny and added to the story, but by the end, it was just a bit overblown, overemphasized, and embarrassing. I loved how the author showed wealth isn't a reason to discriminate in the beginning, but that moral felt lost by the end. Similarly, I loved the focus on family, but the magical pathway for curing trauma felt... Well... A bit too magical. Therapists don't always have a cure, because some things don't really have cures. Many times, people just learn ways of managing and living with their issues. But if someone was to get cured, I guess it would be a child, with dedicated help from his family and professionals, over long period of time. <<less

I really want to rate it 5 stars but I am dissatisfied with the ending. I want more chapters.

The MC and ML are so sweet. I love how they found redemption and salvation with each other.

The novel is very enjoyable. I love the misunderstandings and how the characters react. I love the heirloom diary. It was so sweet and I also want to do it.

CAME RUNNING TO WRITE THIS AFTER FINISHING JUST NOW

You know, this book did a number on me quite the same way that Erha did: read the blurb and it tells me 'slapstick, cute, light-read that'll make me go 'awwwwww'.'

But what do I get?

... more>> An amazing, well-written book on the effects that trauma can have on people. I laughed so much at the light-hearted, comedy moments here, whilst also having my heart hurt for the MC suffering from PTSD because of what happened to him.

I initially read this because I needed something light-hearted, and didn't except it to have such topics, so maybe a warning for those who're planning on reading it; whilst it is definitely a lot of light-hearted comedy and romance, there is a fair amount of psychological trauma depicted in here. VERY GOOD!!!! <<less

I didn't have much expectation when I started reading but oh my god.. what a good read. I enjoyed it a lot. It made me lose my sleep lol... light-hearted fluff with a splash of angst and I LOVE IT! I'm glad I gave it a try. My only complaint is it has no intimate scenes cuz apparently this is a love story between minors so no steamy thing at all. I don't know why I keep picking innocent novel.. lol /sigh

~ (*v*) ~

The points I really appreciate about this novel are the romance and the general story telling.

The romance is not very dramatic or heart wrenching, it's more natural and healing in nature. Instead of being about immature feelings and youthful insecurities this novel is more about the positive influences love can have on life. Such as giving emotional stability and courage to face the future (Very positiv ♥️)

Aside from the romance this novel has another really well written plot line [tag (Past Trauma) ]. This plot line keeps... more>> the story from becoming a casual, comedic romance and gives it more depth and tension. However, the author did a good job balancing the heavy Trauma topic and the lighthearted school life, creating an exceptional novel. <<less

This made me cry a good 5 times at least while reading it but I'm still unsure if it was from the sadness or my toothache. The abuse is definitely heavy early on, it takes a good while to get used to it, but the fluff is so worth the wait! It's similar to a lot of novels I've already read, but the translators and authors managed to make it stand out in it's own way. You'll definitely like it if you give it a try!

A very lighthearted novel and a lot of fluff. This is also a journey to healing not only for the main characters but also for the people around them- family and friends.

I just don't understand why some people are hating the MC so much, I mean why?

... more>>
Spoiler

He was abducted as a child for a year!!! Imagine how traumatic is that? He developed PTSD and even before he was fully healed his mom died and he blamed himself. He wanted to heal completely by having a new environment and persona. He doesn't want to be treated special hence the lies begins. Although, I do not approved of his lying about his dad as a drunkard, but the idea didn't came from him and he just really wanted to have a new start and his dad is very supportive of QS, as long as it will help him, then by all means his dad, grandpa and granddad will do everything/anything.

[collapse]

The backstory of MC and ML about their mother is heart wrenching! Ugh! I cried a lot. Also Lou Xiao's mom, terrible! Good thing they found the right people that helped them heal.

No matter what other reviewers said, I highly recommend this one. If you want a more in-depth review, find * just-add-oil*, she explained it better. So don't missed out on this beautiful novel! <<less

After reading few comments I was very apprehensive and I avoided reading this.... but regret it now.. it's a beautiful story, MC is cute, ML is very doting and all the other characters were nice too... There was no misunderstanding nor angst or such drama.. it was pure fluff after reading the novel I felt whether the comments that I read due to which I held back reading this Beautiful story were not for this novel at all...... MC has been through trauma and even ML had his own problems... more>> and didn't have anyone who could love and care for him and they both heal each other and Love and care for each other.... yeah I do agree that MC could come out of his trauma and nightmares only because of ML when his dad, grand dad and grandpa also loves and dotes on him a lot.. (that part I felt a bit unrealistic... my bad if I am the only one who feels that way) but overall the story was good... there is no smutt and yet you would get butterflies reading this... so just read this don't let the negative comments bother you...

Happy reading😊 <<less

When everyone says this is the sweetest modern story they've read, i'd say, couldn't agree more.

the main couple are so compatible with each other. They have their own flaws and past traumas but through each other, they were able to face those. This is a story about facing your fears and overcoming them. I love the Qiao family so much. Especially Qiao Shao's dad.

Their friends in East High were also good, I was actually thinking if there will be a side CP in the story. It would've been better if... more>> there is. I ship Wei Jiayu x Lou Xia or Wei Jiayu x Chen Su haha. Too bad there isn't, if there is, I'd like to know what story! 👀 <<less

-Somehow, I don't find this sweet and fluffy at all. It seems rather corny to me. I don't feel any chemistry between MC and ML. And their supposedly lines/words of affection? God, it sounds embarrassing and cheesy.

-Very slow-paced, and it doesn't really fit this kind of plot at all. The dragging just takes away the excitement I felt.

-The plot is very mediocre and cliché (who said it isn't? such a liar). I just lost some of my braincells after reading this. I know this is fiction but for a modern... more>> one? This is just absurd. Is this written by a 13-year-old? It's so like the typical Wattpad stories.

-Most of the characters don't appear likeable to me. They're so like the typical side characters. About MC, ugh, I don't get him at all. I just... don't understand him. I can't tolerate people of his type, really. ML is fine but he could literally be just a friend and the story would be removed from the BL genre. They're just so bland for me. There was no spark that could possibly start a fire inside me.

-It was revealed to everyone in the end that they're actually rich. Tbh, I only read this for that scene. Was I rickrolled? No, but my patience was wearing thin. I simply lost interest since they revealed it so late.

A rating of 3 perfectly suits this. I would probably forget abt this just a week later bc it's not really that noteworthy. Fine for a timekiller. But personally, big meh. Don't let this stop you from reading it, just see things for yourself. <<less

This was so overwhelmingly sweet. It did manage to pull at my heartstrings at times, but it was such a comforting novel to read after reading so many high-tension 'big brain' novels. It was an easy read and if you're looking for something that is easy to read but still has enough emotional depth to get you invested, this is for you.

SUCH A MASTERPIECE. I can't elaborate any further as I'm still bawling my eyes out rn. This is such a good psychological/highschool BL novel. All of the side characters are also as remarkable as the leads. *Sobs*

When reading in the comments, I thought the book was going to be really emotionally heavy. However I was pleasantly surprised. That's how I would describe it - Hilarious !! Super cute and fluffy. Of course there is a traumatic past that really helps you keep on the edge. And the story is really well paced. Quite satisfied. Not much passionate scene/description towards the end, but they are quite few cute kisses.
