Really cute for a short story. It’s nice the author didn’t drag it out for more than a 100 chapters. Really fluffy and light, would be a nice break in between some heavy novels.

It's a good short read.

The plot is nothing new. 5 stars is because it's a light read; good word building.

It's a short version of the long stretched out novels (~100 chapters) where the plot is always like this -

[You can totally read the spoiler cuz it ain't anything new if you have read enough BL novels.]

I'm not writing any criticism although there could be.

Just read it for light read.

The translation is good.

A very great read if you want something short and sweet.

+ appreciate Ara for being good to his hoomans.

+ more appreciation to He Ming not wanting to stimulate Yu Tian using jealousy (even though somehow, it's kind of inevitable 'cause the former has a lot of people chasing him.)

It’s really sweet! The MC is so cute! I recommend it at a light-hearted read. At least, so far it is.

Extremely short story but actually managed to cover quite a bit of ground.

We get enough backstory for the MC and ML's tumultuous friendship history. From the POV of the MC, if you don't think about it carefully it's pretty understandable why his relationship with the ML is rough. The ML keeps inexplicably one-sidedly ignoring him or isolating him, and as a friend that would be hurtful for anyone. I'm very glad though that this wasn't from the perspective of the ML because 15 fking years is a long ass depressing... more>> time to wait for someone who dislikes you to fall in love with you. Probably literally delusional at that point.

It's hard to say what really makes the MC who is a dense blockhead open his eyes. I'm still not quite sure, though XWW really helped a lot I think, along with that friend's unintentional assist. I'm glad it worked out, even though it really only happened in the last chapter and we got 0 dog food. <<less

the rating is very low so I'm putting my recommendation in. For 13 chapters you get a pretty good and fluffy story. A nice one to read bfr yet another stressful novel
