DASH Chapter extra 28 Discussion

This novel is a must-read.

It has everything you would want in a romance bl: a reasonably paced romance, cute interactions between the main couple, explicit smut, and character development!

I have a HUGE soft spot for MLs that are entirely devoted to MCs from the start, and Kwon Jaekyung DID NOT DISAPPOINT. He hits all the tags in this novel: possessive, obsessive, and persistent! He is cold, but is never rude towards MC and softens up around him. His jealousy moments are cute and his overprotectiveness over MC makes me swoon!

I also wanna come to the MC's defense against reviews that claim he's a scum. Ofc everyone has their own opinions on MC's actions and I'm not saying MC is entirely blameless, but I think there is more nuance to his character than simply labeling him a scum.

He's dated multiple people in the past and has one-night stands. In his past, he would simple accept any confession regardless of whether he reciprocated them or not and start dating. As soon as his ex-lovers got tired of him, they would dump him and MC would immediately start moving on to the next person. This affected how he viewed relationships and caused him to swore off dating after college. His approach on relationships was not the best, but he genuinely tried to be a good boyfriend in all those relationships and he later learns how to love for real in a relationship with ML (even if it takes a while). I admit his denial of feelings, the actions he takes that supposedly are for "the greater good, " and moments of miscommunication are infuriating but it makes him human. TLDR; MC's complicated past and character makes the story and his development interesting.

Anyways, this is a light-hearted novel with good chemistry between characters and moments of drama sprinkled throughout (all conflicts get resolved pretty quick and theres nothing too serious).

If you want to take a break from all the dog-blood drama, plot-heavy, angst filled novels, this is a great novel to indulge in!
