Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Joo Yi-Gyeol, who sleeps 22 hours a day has Rostov Syndrome.

Learning to escape from the body while asleep, he follows a golden butterfly he encountered one day and crossed to another dimension.

And there, he met the 4th prince Seth and saved him multiple times…

* * *

“Who said you could die as you please?”

Seth’s hands wrapped around Yi-Gyeol’s face. His cheeks, wrapped in those big hands, felt excessively hot.

“You can’t die even if you want to.”

Seth’s face came close. His and Yi-Gyeol’s foreheads lightly touched.

“I am the owner of your body. You can’t die without my permission.”

Yi-Gyeol could just inwardly shed tears at Seth’s mysterious remarks.

I thought this will become like one of those typical yaoi fantasy novel but this is surprisingly very interesting to me. Didn't expect to be emotional when I first read it ;;

also, idk why some would say our MC is dumb. Clearly they don't know how hard it is for people with trauma. We don't need a perfectly easy strong personality development in every story like wtf. Find that somewhere else if you can't deal with this type of MC.

i relate to his self doubt and insecurities so bad. I... more>> hope he'll get to be more confident with himself as the story progress ❤️ <<less

OMG, this is probably one of my favorite Korean bl web novels so far. I read all the chapters that where available in a couple of hours! This is a hidden gem. I am eager to see how this is going to go! I am so excited for future releases by this translation group!

hahahaha.. Wanna add this but this novel actually made me tear up, this does include some dark topics so please be warned.

Ok so I hate crying, but I sobbed when I read the parts not only about how JYG’s family treated him, but also how broken he became afterward. Like pls stop author I just want to give him a hug.😭

Anyways this is a great story so far 10/10 would cry again (and probably will)

Fantastic story.

BUT I wanna rant about something slightly unrelated.

I don't understand how people think MC's family was mean to him. Honestly living with a person with a chronic illness takes A LOT of load on you mentally, physically and emotionally. MC barely had a lifd sleeping for 22 hours a day, and his conditioned overworked his parents and made them bankrupt, but they still very much loved him. Though, they could've trrated him a bit better, but that love for him was there surely. I can see it from... more>> both the sides,

As a person who's lived with chronically ill person and is also a chronically ill person (nothing as bad as MC, just pretty tr*sh lungs) it's so so difficult. You feel like a burden because your family is doing so much for you. You feel like you just wish sometimes you'd jusy d*e. I'm young so I'm doing pretty good, but taking care of another chronically ill person is very mentally draining too. You can't leave the home easily, no recreational activities like vacations, bills, bills, more bills. Sometimes life is like walking om a tightrope and the constant stress of having a dear one unwell. <<less

This pair is not okay. They are, however, better together. The gaps in their personalities are understandable considering what they've been through and how their minds work. On one hand, you know that if the spit ever hits the fan, onlookers and meddlers will get wiped out first. On the other hand, they are actually healthier together than apart. Seth is crazy, let's be real. But, he isn't unnecessarily vile towards his partner. As for Yi Gyeol (I think I said that right😅) He isn't blind to the kind of... more>> monster Seth is, but he focuses on how he treats him in comparison. He focuses on their relationship and not on what others percieve them as. Honestly, that is a healthier aproach to a relationship than I've seen even in real life. So, in short, I ship it. <<less

THIS IS MY FAV NOVEL OF ALL TIME... I LEFT IT SO THAT IT COULD MARINATE ONLY TO FIND OUT IT HASN'T BEEN PICKEN UP SINCE THE LAST TIME I DROP IT T___T

i honestly love love this dynamic, At first the MC had already lost hope on his life but until he met the ML, at first honestly the MC is a people pleaser (which is normal bc he was neglected by his fam and they made him feel like a burden 24/7) but turns out he was very sweet... more>> : ((

The ML is very obssessive (sorry if I spell that wrong) towards the MC (at first) but then he became really kind afterwards, his whole demeanor changed. (i was still at chapter 67 so idk what happen much after that.)

PLS PLS PLS SOMEONE PICK THIS UP, Im on my knees.

The current translator did a very good job on translating however I am reallt sad that they drop it (•n•) <<less

I love this! I wish and hope that the translator continues this work! So far it’s my favorite webnovel. I love the MC. He’s smart as well as relatable in a sense of how’d someone else would act in that situation. I also love this type of yandere ml.

I read untill epilogue. I mtl'ed but couldn't find the Side stories unfortunately. It was an amazing novel. Truly beautiful. I got to say that I'm touched very much.

Now spoiler time.

Our MC is diagnoosed with an illness which makes him unable to be awake for a long period of time. He keeps sleeping for a longer period of time which also puts burden on his family. It kinda reminds me of Franz Kafka at that point because our MC feels pretty guilty about this. His family works a lot and tries to keep him alive so our MC also wants to make something to make them happy. Anyways some things just doesn't end well. At the same time because MC sleeps for longer times his soul begins to leave his body. He travels the world in the meantime he sleeps but loneliness is truly a poison that makes him sad. One day he sees a golden butterfly flappimg its wings in the distance and gets curious about it so follows it. The golden butterfly takes him to another world which is ruled by monarchy unlike his own world. He meets with someone named Sath and his adventure and long lost wish begins to stir inside him

[collapse]

I should be honest. Both MC and ML are not healthy. MC is hurt by his family maybe not directly but being burden to his family made him tired of living but also long for living more.

ML is entirely different. (He is one of the prince's btw) He doesn't feel many emotions. He mainly has two emotions. One is boredoom and other is interest. He longs for that interest. He Hates the feeling of boredoom. He is a cruel character which doesn't really care for anyone but also doesn't really harm anyone. For example he would have killed his sibings if they annoyed him but doesn't because the things they do for throne looks interesting and he likes to see their little plans.

These two different characters meet each other.

Spoiler

MC meets ML in his soul (butterfly (we'll learn that later)) form ML can't see him. Just hears him. MC help ML avoid some assassins. After some blabla MC decides to commit su*cide and takes sleeping pills in his real world. ML Hates being out of control so he orders some mages to make his original body for his soul. It is successfull and MC lives in ML's world.

[collapse]

I wanna give more spoilers but I also really shouldn't. I have to say I truly liked the things that was said in this novel. The emperor (ML's father) really stirred some trouble but also said some wise words. He said a relationship where only one person is selfish can never last. He also said when you are with someone you love you are bound to be selfish about some things. Maybe the things I wrote here wouldn't get understood because there was soo much things happening in the novel but it was truly meaningfull. If you are wondering about it I'll leave a spoiler down there for that. But it was truly an amazing novel.

Spoiler

ML made that body for MC using his own life. That way MC would eat up his life but would also live untill the day ML dies. ML didn't tell that to MC. That was a selfish choice but he knew MC wouldn't like it. After MC learns it. He felt extreme guilt. He once again felt like he became a burden. The emperor gave him a choice. MC choosed to die instead of living of ML's life. Then some things happened. He somehow returned to his own world after following a golden butterfly. He saw his family. I won't go in detail but his sis said it was okay to be selfish to his unmoving body. So after that he really decided to be selfish. ML's wish was the thing that made him travel through worlds and his wish once again entertwined with ML's... Anyways.

[collapse]

It was awesome and the thing it was trying to convey was magnificent. ML's personality is a bit off but thanks to MC he begins to feel other emotions. <<less

Amazing plot !

I usually avoid yandere tags cuz most of them are toxic. But this one was not overbearing and ML truly was respectful towards MC and loved him unconditionally.

Translation is also top notch and thank you so much your hardwork !!!

MC with a depression and ended his own life!

[collapse]

I rarely read korean novels as the writing style is usually not my style but gave this a try, and I likeee it! Got my interest right from the prologue!

Each chapter's length is not too short it'll leave me unsatisfied but not too long to bore me (perfect for a quick read). The writing style is just right in the way it's descriptive enough and isn't confusing to understand (the characters speaking, the backgrounds, etc) The author slowly unravels the story without slapping the reader with paragraphs of the background story.

Both of the main characters personality are clear and they stick to it! (Unlike some novels lol) ML is forward with his words, confident, manipulative. (Ah, but he's good boy to our MC :D as far as I read that is haha) MC is friendly, kind, has low self-esteem, kind of a pushover (?). Take a look at the CW for more understanding about the MC's character.

The progress of their relationship isn't rushed and is just at the right pace.

All in all I really like this novel, and it's going good so far!

p.s. Translator has a good taste in choosing novels and their translation is good! It's clear, no confusing words! Minor typos here n there but that's it. <<less

Hello! This is my first review on this website and I just needed to talk about this novel.

The plot from the beginning is interesting with the main character's illness and out of body experiences.

The main characters are very fleshed out and very likeable when you get to know them. The obsessive love tag isn't wrong! Don't let it fool you people they are both obsessive but Yi-gyeol is wayy more.

Spoiler

Something I don't like is that the main character meets up with his abusive family. As well as the whole thing with running away, we could've ended this in 100 chapters. Didn't really need the extra 30.

"Fairy Trap" is a captivating tale of Yi-Gyeol, who discovers the ability to explore other dimensions while asleep due to his Rostov Syndrome. In one such dimension, he meets Seth, the 4th prince, and their encounters are filled with danger and mystery. The excerpt hints at a deeper connection between them. It's unfortunate that the translation was dropped, as the story's unique premise and characters deserve to be shared with a wider audience, leaving readers longing for more.

OMG before I start this is a 5 star rating 😭 I didn't realise that I wasn't able to 5 star my review huhu and can't edit it anymore 😭

***

... more>> I love this! I just love the dynamic between MC and ML! And ML is such a green flag yandere like he's obsess and possessive, it's in his character but his love for MC curbs these out and just fckn become wholesome like wtf! Love me too like that!

I love the trust and dependency of MC and ML to one another!

Regarding to people saying that MC is weak, I beg to differ. MC suffered a great deal with his diseases and having mental traumas does not make a person weak. This even flesh out and complex the characterization of MC for me! And as what the other reviewers have pointed out, MC smart, smart enough to watch out for his self.

Defo recommend to read! I started without expectations and ended with giddiness 😍

Seth's love is just 🤭😍 <<less

This story was written well. The characters are intriguing and the plot is unique. The smut scene you ask? *Chef’s kiss* marvellous (no non-consent s*x so far).

I expected the novel to be super angsty based on the summary alone but it was enjoyable. MC and ML were sweet to each other.

MC is so precious lol. His backstory brings tear to my eyes and I feel for both him and his family althought the way they treated him was not that good. I normally prefer bottoms with strong personality (maybe even ruthless/cunning) but MC really touches my soft spot (not saying that MC’s personality was weak, I just thought he was a cinnamon roll). He had a blind trust and loyalty towards ML (somewhat submissive) but honestly I didn’t find that part disturbing.

[collapse]

Spoiler

Maybe it’s partly because of how ML treated him. Yes, ML is your typical lunatics: he was cruel, cold-hearted and of course never hesitant to delete a few fingers/arms/legs/etc. Of yours if necessary. He was even possessive and obsessive towards MC. Despite that, ML was really affectionate to MC: he tried to keep MC safe, healthy, allowed MC to do whatever the f*ck he liked and told MC to never suppress his feelings (this hits so hard because back when MC was with family, he always forced a smile so that they wouldn’t be worried). Sometimes ML still showed some concerning thoughts, like “oh maybe I should erase his legs so no running away” but eh, he never acted out on that (dude didn’t even dare to hurt MC lol even he got multiple chance to).

This is one of the best Bl novel I've read so far our MC may come off weak and naive at first, but he's very witty and strong-willed person, the plot/setting is also very interesting & unique🤩😍

Lost interest at chapter 48. The MC - who used to be very weak and is possibly a doormat - just randomly and suddenly got a personality changed. It's weird. I mean, it's good that he got character development, but that happened in just 4 paragraphs. Not gonna buy the "he was like that before he got sick". I mean, if it's that, then a little bit of that should show up once in a while in the past 40+ chapters, yes?

I liked it enough to read all the translated chapters, but not enough to bear through Korean MTL, so I guess I'll leave off here unless the translation ever gets picked up again!

Both main leads are likeable, especially MC who is surprisingly two faced and just as devoted to ML as ML is to him. They have a very interesting couple dynamic, and I'm always a sucker for a yandere type ML.
