Overall, a really great story with very engaging insights into the process of medical research. You get a lot of details without feeling bogged down and boring. Seems to be very well researched.Romance is very slow, but present. The intro of the ML was one of the most unique I've seen.Downside is... There is a fair amount of nationalism. I can be fine with general sentiments of wanting to improve ones hometown, country, and roots. But some of the messages re: Hong Kong seemed out of touch (given many of the characters are native Hong Kongese.) And some comments about African countries seemed kinda... racist.On the bright side, this is one of the few BL with strong supporting female characters in the cast. And seemed to have a more compassionate view on immigration. There are good points made about the dirty deals in "big pharma" and some interesting history on the west actively suppressing Chinese scientific development.The political stuff is definitely a mixed bag, but if you can stomach some issues then it's definitely worth a read. I'd have given 5* for story if not for the occasional weirdness.
