Alright I've finished binging this novel in a few hours over the span of 2 days. Heads up, as previous reviews mentioned this is AI translated. I'm not rating based on fan translation, which a good number of people do on this website. I'm going to rate the novel based on how it executed romance, story, ending, and worldbuilding/terms (specific words that build the world). This is a 5 star rating. Below are some nit picky parts:Romance: 9.5/10 - It's not a whole shoujo like story where the two characters are all over each other. I really like how Meltier and Shane grow close naturally while chaos stirs up in the background. My poor boy Shane never has a moment to rest. Although I wish there were more lovey dovey moments, the existing ones in the main story satisfied me. Thinking logically, typical BL smut mechanics would be out of place here LOL.Meltier seriously makes you melt by how sweet he is, constantly checking in with Shane. Greenest flag ever, but that doesn't mean he's anxiety free. Shane also takes care of the golden retriever boy. They're a good pair.Story: 8.75/10 - In the beginning, it was hard for me to get into the story because some parts would drag on. I kept reading and the experience was a lot better. Readers should try not to skim because important parts could be missed. The big reveal was not as amazing as I've expected. Maybe because I've read a lot of novels with similar themes, but it was a nice read! Enough to make me cry near the ending.Ending: Around an 8.75 to a 9 /10. It's hard to say. At one point I thought it was fitting and another, I wanted more of an oomph! I'll give it a 9 because the epilogue/side stories were cute and filled in the void in my heart.World building/Terms: 10/10 - Knowing gacha / game mechanics would help, but it's not needed. Shane re-explains situations or scenarios in our modern day language. I love when he nerds out. World building is excellent. Everything fits together (again, it's best not to skim too hard) once you get over the first few chapters hurdle. Not a potato chip novel, requires some thinking.Your opinions could differ from mine when you finish reading. I enjoyed this story despite AI translations— pronouns go she/her, and then they/them... POV also changes. It can't be helped. I'm thankful I've got a chance to read it after finding the manhwa online! 😳 Meltier is one of the very few blonde hair guys who've captured my heart. (It's always the typical black haired MLs 😂) I think readers would really love him.
