Su Bin, an exchange student, moved into a shared apartment recommended by a rental agency. Among his roommates, there is a caring and considerate older teaching assistant, a self-proclaimed social prince who is also a rich second-generation, and a handsome mixed-blood aristocrat (?) who appears to be aloof and cold. As his student life gets underway, Su Bin realizes that one of his perfect roommates, who was like a protagonist in a novel to his (former) girlfriend, is gradually revealing an aspect that he cannot resist. The problem is, Su Bin also feels constantly trapped and helpless. Meanwhile, he is also trying to earn money to surprise his girlfriend back in China, but his plans are thwarted halfway through… What? Roommates must be heterosexual? (￣_￣|||) Dizzy… Do I really look like I’m gay!? (╰_╯)

I have finished this novel and this is one of the best ones I have ever read. Although some may feel the ML is controlling, it reassures the MC who has abandonment issues. There is a bit of angst towards the end but there is a happy ending and all the problems the MCs have are resolved. However, this book is not for the faint of heart, because the ML can be seen as toxic. Yet for those who like yanderes this book is one of the best you will... more>> ever read. <<less

Warning: MC loses self-autonomy, Controlling AND TOXIC ML not wholesome at all

I did not sign up for this. I admit I skipped to see if ML gets better but he does not.
Spoiler

ML makes MC adhere to an oath of unquestionable trust towards ML, where MC pretty much can't talk things out with ML and ML gets to decide every action. MC questions ML and gets slapped with ML threatening MC that he will sleep alone and MC panics because fear of abandonment.

[collapse]

What I liked about the novel:

The slice of life of a Chinese student going to Britain to study. I thought it was interesting to learn about what a normal foreign student would have to go through such as illegal jobs.

What I didn't like about the novel:

The romance. ML is very controlling and manipulative. He starts to control MC's life and said, "From the day you moved in, you will be under my control." Made me sick to my stomach.

Spoiler

This was said 20 or so chapters ago and I stuck around just to see why the GF of MC left cuz author note was like don't blame the GF she has her reasons. Which she did because MC kept publicly confessing and the people around GF was peer pressuring to accept, so both of them weren't mature enough to just talk things out. Like just tell MC, I don't think you're very grounded, let's just stay friends. You think oh fair, it's life, they both need to grow, but author gives hints that maybe one of MC's friends is in a relationship with the ex-GF. Author does a 180 on what they said at the beginning, don't blame the GF.

[collapse]

Then much afterwards MC is fine with being controlled? Even though at that moment he was very much not.

Spoiler

MC feels cared for especially after being dumped by his girlfriend. He has severe abandonment issues. ML does this repeat process of making MC feel very vulnerable or anxious and then turning around and making MC feel nice. Very manipulative.

[collapse]

My red flag of fangirl side characters came up and I should've dropped but I forgave it just cuz MC was knowingly aware and disgusted over it. New red flag is going to be the anime styled cringe rich guy, but I thought the author was just going for comedy.

I dont understand why some of other reviewers getting all worked up over Allen's dominance traits. Perhaps you have never exposed to BD*M culture? Its a lifestyle. Not a trend. And it blends with life. Not practice only in the bedroom like the want to be kids thought off. Allen's trait is not that extreme. He's actually quite mild and more rational considering his age. And what Su Bin ex did to him was wrong. Dont ever justify things like that as harmless. She doesnt only wasted her youth but... more>> Su Bin youth just because she doesn't want to be labelled as bad guy. Ive noticed nowadays trend, people really like to put themselves in a victim position. They will drag the issue until someone have to be the bad guy no matter how many years it takes. Wasting everyone's time. <<less

I barely write any review on NU but this work made me do this because I'm surprised how people didn't understand the concept and giving bad reviews!

Well, I think the tags could be the reason as it's not all clear (saying because I think some tags might be missing). THIS IS NOT FOR VANILLA READERS. Yes, there's no r*pe/forcing or any of the type BUT the BD*M is not light here. The sub/dom play is extremely strong so vanilla readers naturally finds the ML overbearing

But trust me when I say,... more>> this is a good novel for the people who enjoys gray characters. I'll give the ML 10/10 for this role. And also the MC is so so so cute. He's good at cooking and although he's in ML's control he's independent and I really like it about him. I wanna give him 11/10.

The side ships were also okay. Not boring at least. But I wanted to read more about MC's classmate and the senior. It would've been great if the author wrote a separate novel for them. But sigh, the guy named Jin Fei's story remains untold. Although I don't know if there's any chapter in extra about him.

The translator did a pretty good job. (If we exclude the him/her problem. There was multiple time with mispronounced).

Overall the story is good. If you're not a vanilla readers, may as well as give it a try! &Gt;< <<less

I find this story disturbing. ML is a manipulative controlling character and the MC is an idiot. ML is exerting coercive control - a classic red flag for domestic violence. This is not a healthy and respectful relationship. I've stopped reading this story.

I decided to stop at a healthy chapter because I have a different type of dominant ML I like. While I did root for them, I do think the MC is a true idiot. Anyway, congrats for both of them getting together. Hope they live happily ever after.

Let me just say one thing, don't waste your time on this.

At the beginning I was curious after reading the reviews to see what kind of BD*M relationships was being mentioned and I genuinely wish I hadn't.

Lets start with the MC subin aka tr*sh bin.

Like his name he's quite literally an annoying piece of tr*sh but my biggest issue is that he wasn't always like that. Before he met the ML and came abroad he was actually a 'Long aotian' kind of character. Rich, handsome, and smart not to mention... more>> he went to a prestigious university and even got with the prettiest/smartest girl there. He was the envy of others and his IQ was fairly decent although he was a bit clingy with his GF but that's fine.

But as soon as he meets ML I feel like his life went to sh*t I can't help but wondering if the ML is a Death Star or something..... All the ML does is make MC feel inferior and I get it yeah you meet a guy that's insanely handsome intelligent and a literally DUKE! of course he will feel inferior but this leads to a huge power imbalance as their so called 'relationship' develops. I use quotations because they quite literally refer to it as a master s*ave dynamic rather than one built on mutual love.

MC is also very very embarrassing. Alright I get he grew up neglected by his parents which led to him becoming a people pleaser + overly dependet. But still he acts so much like a brat that I can't even blame his GF for breaking up with him. I refuse to believe this man is 20 years old.

example
Spoiler

he goes to his fathers house and finds out he remarried I understand he's hurt but your dad and mom have been not communication for almost a decade buddy. I don't know what you expect, besides you always fought with your dad how did you expect him to tell you? I really agree with the stepmother MC dad owes him nothing he's a grown man. Maybe if he was still a child id get it but at one point in a persons life you have to step back and realize nobody owes you anything. Your father is already old just let him be happy Lol.

[collapse]

Also when he said, "What do I do if my half bent roommate is discussing with my bent friend on how to bend my straight senior." I almost died from laughing LOLL.

Besides from that he's sort of cute I will admit but that's not enough to save him. Another thing is his lack of self esteem and how ML manipulates that it made me very very uncomfortable. Like one minute the ML will berate him for not following his 'rules' that I kid you he doesn't apply to any other roommate aside from MC and once the MC snaps and says its none of his business he'll hug him and whine. Which makes the MC feel as if he's being unreasonable when he indeed is not. You are a grown man why let this guy control you?

Tsk, and the funniest part is I doubt MCs feeling towards ML are love. MC feels more so flattered that this person he basically worships likes him. He even feels jealous when he sees the massage guy kneeling and kneading MLs legs because he wants to do the same. Not in a kinky way its more so how one would worship an idol (I mean the actual kind). There's also his dependency he just wants one person to stay with him and not think for himself even handing his right to make decisions (including all his money, passports, etc). If ML says go left he can't even ask why he just has too.

Do you see why this is weird? I understand its BD*M or whatever but you've only known this guy for a month calm the hell down.

Sigh.... Anyway addressing the ML if the MC was 6 in the past ML is 666. He's quite literally the embodiment of a wealthy noble vampire. To be honest I felt annoyed by him at first ad I still do but I think I understand him more now. For example what he feels towards MC is love (albeit twisted) but I feel although he doesn't address it he's aware of how subconsciously MC treats him like a status symbol to affirm his own existence.

He's quite pitiful in retrospect but if read this you definitely won't feel it for him lol. Anyway he's a person who quite literally didn't die when he was supposed to. Despite the odds he survived but he doesn't have much time. He grew up basically being treated as a corpse which I believe led to some sort of inferiority complex which is hard to notice. That's why he puts so much effort into everything he does for example even when he's by himself he'll always sit with his back straight, speak politely, and act overly as if there's a camera watching his every move. Of course this is my own feelings maybe the other was just trying to highlight how aloof he is but I feel he shows this superior exterior to convince himself and others and Su bin is just another tool for him to further confirm this.

He's aware of what MC thinks but he accepts it because it also gratifies him to feel wanted, which is why he's against confessing his true feelings instead degrades the MC constantly so that he 'realizes' how amazing he is.

Hes a self willed, nihilistic, imp and he'll never be happy even in this relationship but because this is a novel everything just works out hehe. <<less

I usually like yandere partners and things of that nature so I ignored the reviews and continued reading (I'mokay with fark leads, etc, nad everything else). And I'm now just iffy. I will say that the MC was quite accepting of the situation so I won't really criticize it.

My biggest grief was with the ex-girlfriend and his former best friend. Like at first I hated them, then I felt bad, and then I just felt weird. I don't know. I jist wish things had gone differently. When they finally met... more>> wasn't as cathartic because of the situation with the ML imo.

This is just a long rant that's confusing

Spoiler

I just feel so weird. Despite clearly believing the ex girlfriend and former best friend were in the wrong... I actuallyunderstand why what happened, happened. Like, it went on for so long they didn'treally know how to stop it. So while I'm angry, I completely get why it happened. I actually feel almost bad for them.

Also, the ml... I don't know. For some reason I am not okay. Not with the ml, but with the entire situation where I'm at. I feel like I'm not gonna get any closure. Also, I think the MC needs therapy but it also makes sense why his relationship with ML is the way it is

I normally really like yandere leads. Especially when their both obsessed, but this felt like a little kid getting conned... the author also clearly wrote out how not okay the ml's thoughts were. And I'd actually normally be okay with this. It's just that, combined with the mc's personality and the breakup with his ex.... I wish they'd waited longer toget together.

Also... this sounds so bad, but want better closure with his ex gf and ex bsf. He actually seemed very sad. I can honestly see why he didn'twant to make the MC sad. Like, I can see why he made the choice he did, but it was still a betrayel

[collapse]

Basically, I'm feeling weird. And sad I wasted hours reading this lol. Sighs. I can't bring myself to finish.

Basically even though I actually liked the power imbalance, and the ml's obsession it was overridden by everything else about the situation lol <<less

I meant to rate this lower because of how much I disliked the ML and the ex-GF and eventually! Even the mc's bestfriend.

1. The ML is extremely controlling to the point where he spanked MC for being late? What is su bin? An elementary school kid? He is manipulative, constantly triggering the mc's abandoment issues so that the MC becomes dependent on him.

SPOILERS: kind of but not really..?

2. The author says "don't blame the GF" but then later on it's revealed that after the MC left for china, his bff... more>> and his gf had something going. Yes, the MC kind of caused the peer pressure around the gf to intensify by confessing publically, but they could've literally talked this out. The gf's highschool seatmate say the gf felt bad for leading MC on and she didn't want to hurt him/ruin his mood, but it didn't occur to her that by doing this he's going to be hurt even more? It's better to nip it in the bud rather than letting it grow. Such a very dumb move for someone praised to be smart in the novel.

second, the bff. Even if you want MC to be happy, knowing that their relationship started with a misunderstanding, and you didn't want to ruin it so u keep it to yourself is fine and all, but after years of them being in a relationship, you still haven't gotten over her? After MC and gf broke up, you swooped in the chance to get the girl despite knowing how heartbroken the MC would be due to how immature he is. What kind of friend are you?

the MC is fine, he does grow more in the novel, and that's a very good thing. Unfortunately, he's been surrounded by really sh*tty people. <<less

Oh my gosh another underrated gem!!

MC is a gullible baby (trust me, he has been trough some shi which actually explains some why's) who has attachment issues with his gf and ends up in different country to "mature". One of his roommates is a "vampire" with mindset life is short, appreciate each day like it's last in his own noble way?? Anyway things happen and they end up like two magnets attracting each other. The other roommates are cute too!!

As some have already said, it's heavy on sub/dom dynamics... more>> so be prepared if you want to give it a try. If you don't mind or even happen to enjoy that, I would definitely reccomend it to give it a go <33 <<less
