Lovely Allergen

Description

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

Song Yu has three requirements for Yue Zhishi:

– You cannot call me gege in public.

– We won’t do anything together in public.

– You cannot let other people know you live with me.

Yue Zhishi has always been obediently following these rules. They were practically strangers at school. At the opening ceremony, he suddenly collapsed due to an allergy-related asthma attack, sending everything into chaos. At this moment, the student representative Song Yu suddenly stopped speaking…….

That night, a hot post appeared on the school forum.

【Shock!! Our junior high school department male idol and our senior high school department male idol are actually ‘brothers’!】

—————

Ever since his father brought back a mixed-race baby when he was six years old, Song Yu’s life has been completely entangled by this clingy little guy who couldn’t speak Chinese well.

Le Le who was in kindergarten: Xiao Yu gege, my classmate said today that he has a beautiful sister-in-law. What is a sister in law?
Song Yu: His older brother’s wife.
Le Le: No! I don’t want a sister-in-law!
Song Yu: ……
Le Le: I’ll be your sister-in-law! (Something isn’t quite right…….)
Song Yu: Please study up on Chinese familial relationships.
Le Le: Wait, wait. I’ll be my sister-in-law!
Song Yu: ……

Mouth says one thing but body does another, cat-like gong x mixed-race, obedient and straightforward puppy-like shou.

1. Childhood sweethearts with older gong. Slice of life (with some twists and turns), with a lot of scenes involving eating. Those who like fast-paced stories, be cautious.
2. Shou is in third year of junior high at the start of the story. There is no blood or legal relationship between the shou and the gong. Remember, they’re not under the same household registration book.
3. Gong spoils and dotes on shou. Very strong double sided arrow, essentially younger brother complex x older brother complex.
4. Cute shou, not strong shou.
5. There is a wlw side couple, not much scenes.
6. Please don’t read if you can’t take even a little bit of unexpected events. This is not solely a sweet fluffy novel.

CWs: light PTSD, talk of su*cide/self-harm, talk of death/dying, h*mophobia (from side characters). Please do not read if these make you uncomfortable.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOc ute! Worth the read - absolutely LOVED it! Now I want a man like Song Yu omg he's perfect <3 Yue Zhishi is so damn lucky, and he's a sweetheart as well.

The drama is quite realistic, nothing out of the ordinary. You have ... more>>
Spoiler

school bullies, coming out to the parents (but these parents are to DIE FOR I wanna be Lin Rong when I become a mum), idiots at uni - I think the only 'extraordinary' thing that happens is due to Song Yu's job as a geographer for disaster areas

I think this is my second review ever I don’t even remember my last review... but this story was so amazing I had just to leave one.

This story is so sweet and the slow burn is real!!

The Gong is the best and so sweet and allows MC to initiate things because he doesn’t want to pressure MC into doing something he doesn’t want to do.

... more>>
Spoiler

Which is why MC is the one who confesses first (Which was so adorable)

[collapse]

Both the Gong and MC’s friends are the best and I hope you give this story a shot! <<less

Didn't leave a rating because I skipped a lot of chapters in this novel, so while I read until the end, I probably only really read less than half the story.

This is a slice of life novel and coming of age story centered around a romance between two foster siblings. The MC was taken in by the ML's parents when he was very young, because his birth parents died. The relationship between the MC and ML is borderline in*est, although not in the sense of blood relations. Not making any... more>> judgements (I generally have a high tolerance for 'taboo' subjects), but some people might be put off by this.

I'll explain: The MC never address his foster parents as 'mum' and 'dad' or consider them 100% his parents, nor do they legally adopt him. He's their foster son. But he does grow up with a sibling relationship with the ML and calls him 'brother/gege' (worth noting that calling someone 'gege' in Chinese isn't exclusively for siblings - it can also be a term of endearment and even flirtatious for non-related men whom you are close to).

The weird sort-of-but-not-quite-sibling relationship between the CP is the main cause of conflict (the ML falls in love with the MC early on and is aware of the iffy ethical implications). It was also something that didn't quite work for me. Probably because to me, growing up side by side with someone since very young (the MC is 3 years old when he's taken in by the family) is the equivalent of a sibling relationship, so the whole 'falling in love' part felt like psychological in*est. The author does try to show the implications of this and how the various characters react to it, but generally I feel this topic fits a darker story better, because it is ethically pretty grey territory no matter how thoughtfully and carefully the characters handle it. I feel that the MC would logically have had more problems accepting his own feelings for the person he basically thinks of as his older brother.

The rest of the story just didn't grip me, so I mainly read it for the romance. Unlike Fanservice Paradox, where the slow pace felt just right and the romance was developed in a way that felt convincing to me all the way, this story just felt bloated with too many unimportant scenes, which lead me to skip a lot (which I normally wouldn't do).

I wasn't a fan of the MC being so soft and sticky - I get that this was their dynamic, but it basically became a older brother-younger brother romance which then felt like actual in*est even though it wasn't. But maybe it's because I've gotten tired of reading danmei where the shou is portrayed as weak and submissive and the gong as cold and controlling.

The prose is good though, and it's overall not a bad story, but it does require some patience of the reader. <<less

It started off well. Really liked their school days and it wasn't that boring even though it was slice of life. Once it moved on to jealousy and stuff, the writing got shoddy and it was no longer fun. : ( The characters started doing OOC things at that point. Also, the writer explains too much of the characters thoughts that make it boring and irritating to read. Also, chapter 86 was terribly written. How is it love to torture someone who suffers from asthma to the extend where his eyes... more>> are swollen, he can't talk because his throat is hurt badly and he can't walk properly and can't even attend classes for a week? And there isn't even any remorse or apology for doing that. Maybe I'm expecting a lot considering the genre. Still it's just terribly written.

I was going to mark this 2* because I like the school time but reading chapter 86 caused me to reduce it down to 1. <<less

This was actually my first time reading this kind of story. It was rare of me to enjoy novels that revolves around the genre of Slice of Life but I really enjoyed it. The story was really good and both the MC and ML are characters you will love. There's character development, conflicts, and there's no unnecessary dramas in between. The plot setting was realistic and the events happening are actually things that still occur in our society nowadays such as h*mophobia and such. The life of LGBTQ+ wasn't easy,... more>> what's more with our MC and ML who are considered as brothers not related by blood but live under the same roof. You can also see the adjustments their parents are going through after finding out about them especially Mr. Song. Really love the realistic setting of the story and reading it gave the feeling as if I was a friend or a school mate who was fortunate enough to witness their story. <<less

i love this story to absolute bits; the romance is Exceptional.

the author describes the CP as having very strong double sided arrows; and this is so very very true.

as the reader you /never/ doubt the MC's love for the ML or the ML's love for the MC.

the prose is perfect. The pacing is perfect. The emotions are so raw and deep. Its excellent. I want to read this everyday.

A little slow but there's a lot of cute and sweet moments between our protagonists, Yue Zhishi and Song Yu. It's about them growing up together as "brothers" to a very sweet couple (they are not blood related, btw).

The way the author portrayed both the protagonists' inner struggles is very much realistic especially Song Yu's. Their coming out is the saddest part, made me cry, good thing their parents accepted their relationship although they were hurt at first (and I think that it's normal for them to feel that way... more>> to be honest). I love SY's family and the friends around them, very supportive of their relationship. There's also no s*upid villains as well, thank goodness.

BTW there's R18 moments as well, so just be ready. AND dont forget the extras as well! This, overall is a nicely written story although a little slow for others, but I believe it doesn't lack any sweetness between the two. <<less

I feel it too slow at the start even for slow-burn novels, but soon enough it’s getting better and better. Can’t stop reading after they got together in case there might be any unexpected circumstaces appear, and yeah... HOT SEX!

To show you how good this novel is, I’d like to say that the MC is not my type at all. So if the story isn’t attractive enough, it might be impossible for me to finish but IT IS so I’m writing my review right now. The ML is sooooooo good... more>> as he tried so hard to be a good ‘brother’. I appreciated that but can’t stop giggling when he failed lol.

Another heart warming stuff that’ll make you heart pound. The fashion part is too good even compared to those pure fashion fiction books. (No wonder the author is the one who wrote some famous showbiz books before, maybe I should try Fanservice Paradox after this...)

The quality of translation is so good. Recommended. <<less

I really agree with some review mentioned about slow pace. It's really slow and one scene can take up to 3 chapters. Very little story and lots of POV spoiled the good start. I may pick up again to read if I have nothing better to read.

A VERY GOOD NOVEL DON'T MIND THE RATINGS JUST GIVE IT A TRY!

A lovely novel with a bittersweet story, which tugs at your heart strings.

The MC is a sweet and caring baby, with a pure heart. I loved him. The ML is a bit older than MC and mature. I love stories where the MC is a bit mature than ML, this one also fit in that criteria.

Reading the story, getting to know the MC and the ML, understanding the emotions and dependence potrayed in the story have a complex... more>> kind of simplicity. While starting everything may seem perfect at the first glance, but it ain't.

This story's mainly focuses on the characters, emotional development and familial life of the protagonists. It tugs at your heartstrings.
Spoiler

MC's constitution's a bit weak but he's strong willed and courageous.

[collapse]

The familial love shown in the story is phenomenal, all starts cuz of a family and all ends cuz of this.

Overall, a good read. <<less

Rating: 5/5- Now this is a beautiful romance!

This author caught me by surprise with this novel. Her pacing was impeccable, the way she wove together beautiful characters with emotion, flaws and deep love.

I enjoyed this story tremendously, my heart ached, my eyes wrinkled in laughter but mostly I absolutely believed in this couple and I believed in them as characters. I hr substance and realism in this story makes it a truly wonderful read.

I really feel I could write poetry about how lovely this story is but I won’t coz... more>> I don’t have such literary talent.

This is a super slow romance for at least 60 chapters and then suddenly boom an entire earthquake hits you post 60 and you’re smacked with 101 emotions altogether.

I really loved all the characters both main and side and how they eventually grew into the people they became. Their choices, their struggles, their joys and their sorrows. All of it made this a very satisfying read.

I encourage you to read this. It’s really a very high quality novel when compared to the usual out there. It’s well researched, incredibly paced and solidly written. A truly unforgettable read. <<less

good novel but I guess one time reading is enough. I've been wanting to read this novel since everyone keep mentioned it as their top recommended novel. Tbh I do have a high expectation but I think after I finished reading it I somewhat understand why everyone said it was a good novel. First the plot was nice and made me wanted to keep reading it, like I was curious how the characters will develop and the way they resolved some of drama. The angst was there especially with how... more>> each characters revealed each other secret. The car scene (?) theres were some and they were nice, I was quite surprised because I thought this novel kinda like a innocent type of novel so probably they will keep the car scene more simple but turns out it was pretty detailed hahaha. The author short massage was actually needs to be read, it contain a lot of information to understand the characters more deeply.

overall it was good but I don't know why I felt not very satisfied with the whole entire plot like I knew it was good but something was missing (felt like you eat a lot good food and feel full but you dont feel satisfied enough). A good read to pass time. <<less

Wow. This was SO GOOD. I connected with all the characters and I loved how there was no villain in this story. Just pure love and navigating their relationships and figuring out their dreams. I completely understood the actions of each character and nothing felt disconnected. I also cried a LOT and my heart hurt so much for them but I loved every second of it. There’s nothing like crying at 2am reading about two people in love. High highly recommended

Plot: 3/5

MC has wheat allergy which shows up briefly in the beginning of the story. ML grew up with him.

Overall thoughts:

Slow burn. Good reading. A bit boring since there is only romance.

Nice story. The ML and MC were blessed with a loving entourage though their lives weren't necessarily worry free. Their respective best friends were thoughtless at best.

It started to drag around the end. The extra chapters were tiring to read, had to skip some paragraphs.

Didn't read this novel, but I listened to the audio drama (currently episode 2). Super fluffy. Lele's voice is very cute and fluffy 🥰 Quite a few reviews stated that is boring, which I guess it's because the novel is slow pace. But the audio drama is really well made. Highly suggest the audio drama
