This is a VERY cute friends-to-lovers as two life-long friends raised nearly as brother and sister realize they would like more. Their dynamic is hilarious, their banter high paced and natural, and the writer clearly knows how close, platonic friendships between the sexes can work. The steamy scenes are genuinely steamy and devoid of those weird phrases so often found in Asian webnovels (not a single "love flower" or whatever nonsense in sight).

They do have the tendency to assume they know how the other person is thinking and feeling, leading... more>> to misunderstandings, and stumble around a bit as they figure out if they want to risk their life-long bond for the uncertainty of a romance. There's lots of "I am going to heavily hint at ___ in the hopes the other person will pick up what I'm meaning and make a move, but I've left myself enough reasonable deniability and cover that I can retreat and pretend this is normal and not hurt our friendship if they aren't interested." Which some may find frustrating, but is the bread and butter of this genre. They get there eventually and are just adorable <<less
