DISCLAIMER: the star rating does not mean I don't recommend this novel. I am rating this novel a bit lower than I usually do because I feel as I have been mislead a bit.I started this novel because of how cute and fluffy the synopsis sounded, and how many reviews were saying how light hearted and adorable the main couple is. I have not MTLed the story because the translation quality of this novel is very high and efficient, so I follow the chapters day by day. I have not read it in all one go. So I do not know what happens later on in the story, only the new chapters that just come out. And I'm writing this review because what I just read today was so different than what I was lead to believe this novel was about that it shocked me. (Slight spoiler) Spoiler
Because there was a 100% non-consensual scene that happened "off screen." And it wasn't taken lightly by the MC either. MC doesn't remember it because he was drugged but when he wakes up and sees his body, he cries.
Since I followed the chapters day by day, I thought it was a joke at first and that ML actually didn't do it and was just being misleading on purpose, but he actually did. Afterwards he seemed apologetic about it and promised MC he would treat him right but that doesn't diminish the fact that he forced himself on someone he know was out of his mind.
As of now when I picked up this novel there was no r*pe tag at all, so I was not expecting this at all.
[collapse]Up to this point the story was so lightheaded and comedic. The rest of the story will probably be 90% that too. The synopsis and other reviews also all said the same, that the relationship between MC and ML was beautiful all throughout. It's not though.Does that mean you shouldn't read this novel? Of course not. The story itself can still be interesting and enjoyable. But I just wanted to write this review here because I was so sad about that one scene because it was not something I expected for a "lighthearted" novel. I would still recommend giving it a shot if you're interested in the concept, but be warned. It's not all heartwarming.
