One of the best BLs I've ever read. Usually, I'll get fatigued from reading the same story for a long period of time but I have not set this novel down at all.The plot itself is very simple but complicated. It's simple because MCs overall goal isn't clear but makes the reader assume that he just wants a better future. And the MCs goal wasn't clear to the reader because MC is also figuring out what he wants as an ends tate without realizing it. The character growth MC goes through is almost like a 2nd coming of age story for him. As the plot thickens, MC not only deals with issues that he's seen from his previous life but actively grows and learns internally that I think most authors try to strive for.MCs relationship with the ML isn't a smooth ride, in a good way! The issues from the previous life does and does not hamper their growing attraction to each other. MC does a good job in separating the past and present ML good but there's a realistic mental block that prevents MC from truly connecting with the ML at the beginning. But when it's slowly lifted, it's an absolute beautiful love story.Nothing about the story feels forced. That's the best part of this story. Even when obvious secrets are in the way, there's no irrational reactions from anyone that's not justified.Spoiler
This a a slow burn yall. The MC and ML won't get together until about 300 chapters in. But it's so worth the wait.
Ironically enough, I want to say it's less that a year with 600+ chapters in. So it's almost like an extended Romeo and Juliette with how fast and slow this story is.
