When I tell you I tried, I really did try to read this. I have come back multiple times to see if maybe I’ll be able to get even a decent way through it. Unfortunately the writing is so poor that I can’t. I haven’t even managed to get to chapter 20 and I’m bored out of my mind. Nothing has happened and the author is so overly descriptive that is drags the story. Things that could be progressed in a single paragraph somehow get stretched across chapters. While being descriptive is necessary to help build the world, the author’s descriptions add nothing. The writing is almost like “We are walking on this street, to meet _____ because we agreed to meet _____ on this street.” Then like a paragraph later reiterates the same thing over again. The MC is so flat and unlikable, his only qualities are being cute and cooking. His inner thoughts are always of the Mary Sue variety, always along the lines of “there’s no way I could let you do this for me, it’s too much🥺” The only ML introduced so far, Chris, is equally unlikable. The author tries to write him like a player, but he comes off sleazy, shallow, and tr*shy. Overall this story offers nothing new to the troupe and is so poorly written it’s not worth trying to continue.
