Finished! It was very tragic lol. The historical setting is nice, but I'm fundamentally unconvinced of their obsession with each other that lasted their whole lives. MC's relationship with his schoolmates were most compelling and engaging for me

-Also a crime solving BL like 無線人生 but I like this one a lot more despite written 11 years before in 2009. The cases are simple and not really at the forefront but they feel fitting and serve the purpose of developing the romance or the MC as individuals

It's like those shitty OI dad & daughter manhwa but in the POV of the dad and it's a son not daughter

Damn I kinda wish they would just both move on from each other... just end your own misery....

Wowww after the halfway point everything went to shit

I found every BL jdrama adaptation decent to great but they obv favour school/office romances as they're easier to adapt. I'm glad they're finally branching out to higher budget storylines 😭

THIS is the production quality BL fans deserve

I'm almost halfway through the BFF still seems more like a deuteragonist than the teacher love interest 😂 I'm not complaining

This novel makes me conflicted because on one hand the historical part is done really well but the love line is not convincing me at all lol

Towei really said yeah let's legalise sex work in this world and we should provide sex workers with more protections lol. It can be a controversial stance, but the setting of omegaverse ruts/heats cleverly mitigates discourse by "necessitating" it

Can't help but feel like her character is a response to Towei's older novel Dear Emily where the MC kept trying to force himself to do it. It made me super uncomfortable even though I loved every other part of Li Zhizhi's journey

(Just ranting cause i read a novel i really liked then it had that trope in the last chapter. it was implied the top decided to bottom to reassure his partner he has no interest in being with women anymore 💀 Please 💀💀💀)

互攻 for me is like, yeah you're vers and that's what you prefer. Cool

The several 反攻 I've read are like "I only topped but let me offer you my ass virginity as a token of trust!" It just makes me roll my eyes, man
