Sub Male Leads, Come to My Bed Right Now!! Chapter 131 Discussion

(The spoilers are vague and don't reveal any actual plot points, but I'm marking them as spoilers anyway to be safe)

First off: hilarious premise. I mean, the idea of making casual, outrageous euphemisms in the comments and having them be taken literally? It's funny. It's very funny. Literally the entire plot of this novel is about how the female lead is trying to find ways to help all of the male leads get their good night's sleep. I'm so happy this isn't a smutty novel.

Second off: The first half of the summary is true to its words. Spoiler

The second male leads don't express *any* romantic interest in the FL for a very, very long time. They also don't really carry out any actions that could be percieved as romantic, either, as they later explain their anticlimactic reasons for doing what they do, which is also on par for a sub male lead; they're just worse at romance than the designated love interest. Later on in the story, when they realize their feelings, they do become more proactive though, as is to be expected in a romance story.

Now for the reason I'm writing a review: the female lead is honestly so relatable......Spoiler

Even when she doesn't want to misinterpret the sub male lead's actions, she still does. Like, that's so me. No one can escape the rom-com brain once you've fallen into the rabbit hole. This is the true story of a victim of unrealistic expectations. We're both great at hiding our deep desire for a stereotypical shoujo romance, too.

As you'd expect, though, as the male leads get more invested in winning the FL over, she slowly puts back on that mask of blissful oblivion. It's okay because I love it aha

About the final love interest:

Spoiler

Legit have no idea who it is. There's an extra character that comes into the story - some devil king or other? I don't quite know, but he's like a god watching FL from above or whatever. It feels like he's supposed to be endgame because of how often he's just in the background, but I also feel like he's just supposed to be the wise advice character. If it's not him, the story seems to be hinting at a harem ending. Neither of these endings appeal to me personally, but I guess it won't change my rating. I'll update on this later.

Anyways, I'm having a lot of fun with this story and I hope it gets more translated chapters 🤞🤞🤞
