Story 5/5, TL 5/5Saw a reviewer stating that this story is life-changing, genre-changing novel and they're right. Never been a big fan of fast wear having read several other popular ones like FOD but DPUBFTTB is fast wear novel done right!I could never get into FOD as I felt their romance to be shallow and expected- Each arc is like a formulaic repetition of the previous. DPUBFTTB is different even though it follows the same precedent of revenge fast wear novels where the MC have to dish out 'retribution' to every scum gongs. However the MC's methods aren't overly crude, he considers the motives of all the party involved and plays the long game. There's a touch of humanity in every arc that is missing in other fast wear stories. The focus isn't wholly on face slapping/revenge. The trivial interactions w other minor characters and how the plot change would affect them, made every arc more believable and real. Initially I wasn't too convinced by the ML as he is a system after all, however I soon changed my mind as their backstory gets unravelled bit by bit. The MC and ML's interaction feels warm and heartbreaking at the same time as they have no idea of each other's real identity.A must read, esp for ppl who have tried this genre before and did not like it- you might change your mind just as I did.
