Please add me to the list of commenters who are commenting in response to that two star essay review hating this story. I'm not a bot nor do I have literally ANY vested interest in if a BL webnovel is highly rated or not on this site..I just really enjoyed this story and think that review completely mischaracterizes the characters and the plot. My first response is I do agree with parts of your review, this story isn't PERFECT GOD TIER. Its very clearly a cliche filled sports BL, childhood acquaintances to lovers omegaverse etc like its not doing anything groundbreaking here, and yeah it def drags a bit at parts. It also does do the thing novels like this do a lot, where everyone besides the main characters are bereft of any personality.But what I enjoyed about the story the most is how flawed both MCs are, Jiheon and Jaekyung both, which seems to be the main issue with that reviewer and honestly it leaves me gobsmacked. If you like reading about bottoms who are Mary Sues, perfect and angelic 100% of the time, then yes, avoid this story I guess. If you like reading romances where characters have trauma that reflects in their relationships in realistic ways but they overcome it to find love, then you might really enjoy giving this one a try. Both characters make mistakes, but none of them are irredeemable. And I really enjoyed their banter which to me was eloquently written/translated and really funny at parts.
