I was gonna wait until I finished this to review but there are so many bad reviews I couldn’t1: if you’re looking for a refreshing, face-slapping filled, love at first sight, quick-paced novel with heart-throbbing romance and hot smexy scenes, this isn’t the novel for you.The romance is slow. Very slow. And that’s what I like about it. The characters are given time to actually get to know each other rather than diving headfirst into steamy make out sessions. It’s at least 20 something chapters before they kiss, and even at chapter 30+ they haven’t realised their feelings for each other. It’s a surprisingly wholesome story about two noobs at romance, one of which is a first timer sugar-daddy and the other of which is a first timer sugar-baby. They interact and get to know each other via dates and proper conversation (filled with jokes and puns and whatnot) and, wait for it, actually discuss stuff with each other!A couple of reviewers mentioned that they didn’t like how much of a pushover the main character is. He is kinda quiet, but it’s not like it’s super unreasonable. It’s more that he doesn’t want to create trouble, and he’s fine with laying low for a bit. Also, it’s not like he CAN throw his weight around everywhere, since he’s a relatively dispensable newbie and all and his ‘opponent’ is a senior who’s playing an important role. That’s where the ML comes in and does his face slap thing. Another reviewer mentioned how the ML wouldn’t even realise the MC was experiencing problems if it weren’t for Anyi (a side character, more on her later), but the thing is, the ML and MC live in completely different worlds where their careers are concerned, so of course he isn’t going to realise what’s going on, especially since the MC’s really independent and doesn’t want to involve him much. Also, ML is the one who actively goes and asks Anyi about it in the first place. He’s trying! He’s also got his own work to worry about, it mentioned that the ML couldn’t hang around MC 24/7 before because he had his business to take care of and stuff already.Also, about Anyi: she’s kind of a love rival for the MC but she’s! Not! A! B*tch! How amazing is that?!!?? A female love rival who’s not a b*tch!overall I really really like this okay
