I'll preface this by saying the TL is great, but I'm 45 chapters in, and this is not for me.I've read enough BL that I can power through paragraphs of praise about an MC's appearance. Not here. Everyone stares at MC, the room falls silent, people secretly break out their phones to film, tough directors instinctively soften up. If it's not that, MC gets compared to a cat. If it's not that, it's netizen chat about how beautiful he is. It's relentless. It's excessive to the point of distraction.There's also the whole issue with him being a talented actor with zero training (???), but that pales in comparison to the pacing. I was excited to read about a realistic depiction of anxiety and depression, but not anymore. Maybe in a few months I'll jump ahead to see if the ML ever does any groveling/regretting. See if I can't get a little marrow out of this bone.
