Your Distance

Description

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

Distance is a social platform that (just like other social platforms) can display the distance between parties. Ting Shuang had chosen someone that was 287 kilometres away from him, thinking that it was very safe. After all, when there’s more than two hundred kilometres between them, they wouldn’t awkwardly chance upon each other in real life, right!

Unexpectedly… The next night, 287 kilometres suddenly became 4.8 kilometres???

And even more unexpectedly… In the afternoon of the third day, 4.8 kilometres suddenly became 3 metres???

3 metres?????

Metres?????

I’m having a lesson right now, doesn’t 3 meters mean that the person I was flirting with is in the classroom right now?

My heart hurts in that quiet, beautiful way only a truly good book can cause. Few books have resonated with me this deeply—maybe even more so because just a few days ago, I read my first “old man yaoi” manga titled Our Lovely Days.

This novel really surprised me because I went in blind. On the surface, it’s a romance between a university student, Ting Shuang, and his professor, Bai Changyi. But it’s not just about romance—it’s so much more than that. It’s a coming-of-age story about accepting yourself, growing up,... more>> and confronting the realities of love.

What struck me the most was how the story handled age.

Bai Changyi is older, calm, mature—the kind of man who carries the weight of years in the way he speaks and in his silences. Ting Shuang, on the other hand, is younger, impulsive, silly at times—but never foolish. I adored how their differences weren’t a barrier. In fact, the age gap became the space where some of the most tender, honest moments bloomed. Bai’s patience meets Ting’s enthusiasm, and something truly beautiful grows from there.

Spoiler

> “There are also problems I can’t solve.” Bai Changyi lowered his gaze and looked into the depths of Ting Shuang’s eyes. “Just like how I can’t stop myself from aging.”

[collapse]

This moment broke me. This seemingly perfect, composed man—so in control—was still powerless against time. It’s such a simple truth, yet it hit like a wave.

Spoiler

There’s also a moment where Ting’s father expresses concern: Who will take care of Ting when he grows old? He has no children, and he’s in a relationship with an older man. It’s a valid fear—and honestly, something that’s been on my mind a lot lately too.

[collapse]

The story didn’t ignore the world around them. There’s fear. There’s stigma. There are complicated family dynamics. And I absolutely loved the moment where Professor Bai challenges those outdated views on homosexuality—not with anger, but with thoughtful, quiet resistance.

I love this book so, so much. So much.

It made me cry, made me think, and left me a little bette

r than it found me. <<less

It's a healing funny little story of a boy and his man.

A boy is on his way of personal discovery and a full-seasoned man who knows his way. The man tolerates the boy, encourages him to discover, helps him stand upright before the hash reality.

A boy colors the man's monotonous life, brings the man joys.

It's not taboo as normal teacher-student relationship often seemed. They are fully grown adults.

A Captivating read

The first time I read this book was years ago, I was a lot more green and wet behind the ears. I felt like this book was a bit silly at that time, now I’ll take all that back.

I never realized how similar I was to Bai Changyi, perhaps like him I was experiencing my younger days but as I grew older and was asked more questions the pieces had seemingly gotten fixed in place.

Your distance isn’t just a simple romance novel, it’s a story of growth disguised... more>> as a silly romance novel. At one point in life you’d feel that as long as you like something enough and as long as there’s a driving force behind your actions, it’s all right. Why think about those deeper aspects you can’t control? Why contemplate? Like Changyi, I had fixed my focus in life really early, in middle school, when children were still running around- I was wondering how I should dispose of my body when the time came. It’s when you realize and start to think about those aspects in life that seem so rigid, you may find that theres a depth to everything and perhaps only another person can bring this out for you.

For Changyi it was Ting Shuang, for me it was hehe.

Overall: 5/5 Personal: 4/5 <<less

Though this is mostly a comedic slice of life with the couple getting together pretty early on, I stayed invested in their story the entire way through. Their couple growth was both very realistic and incredibly heartwarming, despite every chapter making me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes. The MC gets himself into the most hilariously embarrassing situations, and yet the second hand embarrassment never gets too bad what with his ability to talk his way out of any situation.

I really enjoyed MC's introspective nature, and the... more>> way that he grew to own up to his mistakes while still retaining some of his spoiled nature around the ML. As the novel progresses, he slowly grows from an immature young adult to an emotionally stable and secure man, helped in part by his relationship with the ML. The two of them have a large age gap (24 and 36) but they truly are a perfect match with MC's vibrant yet thoughtful side contrasted with ML's subdued but passionate side.

The ML also isn't perfect, as though he can seem like he's an untouchable ideal at first, it's only because this novel is told from the perspective of the MC. As ML is much older, the MC puts ML on a pedestal that makes him seem perfect, but once the MC starts actually trusting ML and believing in his love, the ML starts to feel much more human, with his own embarrassing moments and flaws. While he's definitely still an ideal partner, he's not some diety figure who can do no wrong.

I read the manhua a while back and dropped it as I wasn't too invested, but safe to say that this novel is so much better. I wonder if it's because of censorship, but I've always enjoyed the novel versions better than manhua adaptations when it comes to Chinese novels. I've found Korean manhwas are usually enjoyable as standalone works, and often can be even better than the novels, but enjoying a Chinese manhua really does require reading the novel first to understand everything that is going on.

Anyways, all this to say that this novel is amazing and definitely worth your time! I had so much fun reading, and I'll definitely be returning to this story when I'm in need of a laugh. <<less

Read this!!! Recommended!!!

Sometimes, you learn something from a novel. This book is one of them. It seems pretty much average from the outlook, and because of the smut tag, some might think this is a plotless R18 novel, but it is not.

The MC might be a bit annoying because he has a temper, but that is his personality. We can't always hope for an all perfect MC which is very unrealistic whom many books have. He has many shortcomings, but I cannot complain, for his partner, the ML, he was... more>> the best. The ML was very patient and tolerant towards the MC, maybe that is because of his age. Their relationship does not have much ups and downs and somewhat hard to find why they fell in love. Some might think they fell because they were physically attracted, because right after they met they hit it off. But if the person is the right one, is there a need to complain? This novel is not exaggerated like many romance novels with cliche plots. This is realistic and ordinary, very.

All in all, this book is good and you should read it. It is pretty short anyway, so give this a try. <<less

Give me a reason why I should continue reading this.

A lot of people keep talking about how realistic it was but, I don't think that at all.

The pace is very unrealistic!

... more>> It confused me how they suddenly liked each other? They're already dating? After only a few dayssss?

I put myself on the MC s shoes and I just can't see myself suddenly liking the professor that told me not to go to class anymore?? Like almost ruining my graduation?

I once took a very hard test to the point I cried about it, which is not normal for me cus I don't cry about tests, and even now I still resent that teacher for putting an eyesore of a grade in my card. But the MC??? NO!!!

Their relationship is great, they learn a lot from each other like the MC is learning how to be mature and the ML is being more playful.

BUT

[
Spoiler

I can't help thinking about the fact that MC just went through a breakup then he talked to ML on the app the next day, then the day after the next they saw that they're close by, then they met, slept, and confessed? How many days did it take them??

The pace is unrealistic!

[collapse]

I just think this kind of plot is better if slow burn. I'm not much of a slow burn lover but I just get that thought in this story. It's just my taste, but I feel like they should've gotten to know each other first, heal their wounds, learn from each other, grow, then eventually get together. But we'll, I think this story is just not for me. <<less

DNF after chapter 27

This story is pretty sweet and lovely, but omg I'm so bored. Also, Ting throws so many tantrums for a 24 year old, it was rather annoying sometimes just how immature he acts.

BUT, insta-love (kinda), sweet moments, little angst thus far, and really cute dates -- so I wouldn't tell people NOT to read it, definitely give it a go if you need some fluff in your life.

I didn't expect much from the novel but this is a healthy slow-burned fluff that made me smile or giggle all the way through my binge reading. Love how they don't hold each other back but let each other explore and succeed without possessiveness.

Honestly, I thought at the beginning that this was a run-of-the-mill fluffy BL story but actually it's funny, cute, dramatic, and even surprisingly philosophical. It felt healing to read this, I like it so much more than I expected at the beginning.

A novel filled with fluff, communication, and growth. Super good!! The novel is written in a good pace and not dragged out at all. It has both character and couple development too! I really like how they grew as individuals and as a couple, especially our MC Ting Shuang. I won't spoil how the ML Bai Changyi assisted in Ting Shuang's character development but just know that meeting Bai Changyi and getting into a relationship with a mature partner is definitely one of the luckiest thing that happened to Ting... more>> Shuang. He really lucked out on this catch that even I got jealous.

(The following might be considered as spoilers!!)

One of the few things that I liked the most is how Bai Changyi was willing to go long distance for 2 occassions just so Ting Shuang and grow as a person. For him to do what he wants and needs to do, he was willing to stay in Germany to wait for his arrival back. The trust that he had and the unconditional support that he showed really shows how strong their relationship is and how much he loves Ting Shuang. Also, at the start Ting Shuang was a little 'immature' and behaves like a brat sometimes. That's also why I'm really happy when Bai Changyi remained patient infront of his temper and tried to resolve the issue between them through open communication. Whenever Ting Shuang has such a fit, he would ask things like 'Ting, what is wrong?' and tries to resolve whatever that is happening between them. I think that this really helped Ting Shuang to restraint his temper and prompt him to resolve issues in a more amicable way just like how he did with his dad.

Hais... I can happily say that he really is one of the best MLs I have ever read about 🤭 <<less

Alu feels sad to part with this story 🥹🥹

4.7/5

This story deserves a high ⭐️..

... more>> One of the reasons why I really love this story is the very wise character of Professor Bai 😭😭

He's a character who is truly worthy of being your companion for life 😭😭 He's sexy in a very expensive way. Elegant mischief, and elegant mischief..

Our sweet Ting, like the silly and stubborn shou, is a bit annoying, but the perfect match for our Professor Bai. They are perfect in a sweet way..

Really read it. This is a fitting and refreshing coming-of-age story. Too realistic but with epic drama.

I love this drama <<less

I love it, one of the sweetest and most romantic BL books I have read. The MC is young and a typical 24 Yr old with his imperfections and childish moments and our ML couldn't be anymore different, a professor and a responsible mature gentleman with his own set of principles and beliefs and when they come together it's simply magical.

What I loved most is how they express their love through everyday things, how patient and understanding they are with each other and the character growth of the MC wow...... more>> this is some of the best character development you'll find.

His growth, his maturity, the way he looks at the world and how he gets to learn more about the ML everyday, its just a pleasure to read. And his awkward moments, 🤣🤣these ones made the book 100 times funnier and better. I have never laughed out loud so much when reading a Korean novel😅

And I also love that the MC got time to travel by himself and experience diff things, I think this was crucial for his growth and for deciding what he would do infuture/ career.

However I really wish we had the ML pov I feel like we didn't really learn much about him, his own thoughts, and even snippets of his life, his interactions with his friends, his parents, and his lover... he's so diff from the MC, I think it would have been interesting to see the MC from the ML's point of view.

This was a beautiful story, and I'm so glad I decided to read it and I love the title too 'Your Distance' now those are 2 words I won't be forgetting in long while.

To the author, thank you for this beautiful story and to the translator thank you for making it possible for me and many others to get to know this beautiful story. <<less

I skim-read the whole thing but I read carefully (every sentence) until ch 58 so that's what I'm putting in my review for honesty's sake.

The drama in the second half of the novel should have been anticipated and spread out more throughout, because like this the story overall feels like a nothing-burger with some last-second drama sprinkled on top. But this didn't impact my rating too badly because the overall quality of the writing (and translation) is so high that even if, for the most part, nothing really happens, it's... more>> still an enjoyable read.

What I liked the characterization of the protagonists. The MC starts off as a brat, which is perfectly understandeable when you've been together with someone who's used to put up with you and never takes the time to sit you down and make you see reason. However, faced with a more matured partner who contributes the most to the relationship, MC naturally starts to become self-conscious and grows a conscience. That was quite nice to read and accompany the MC in this journey felt like an emotional test for me too, for me to face my own behavioural shortcomings in similar situations.

The ML starts off as a very mature, selfless person and he grows into a slightly more selfish person throughout the novel. Selfish in this case is not an insult, but it's positive. Everyone needs to claim some things/moments/little pleasures of life for themselves from time to time, and I'm glad ML came to the understanding that a relationship is not living solely for his partner, but is more of a compromise, meaning his partner sometimes needs to give way, and if his partner is too young to understand this, he needs to be more firm, put his foot down and just make his partner meet him in the middle.

So many authors paint an initial picture of a protagonist just to develop the character all wonky and janky. For example the MC of This Venerable One Really Didn't Abandon My Familiar is supposed to be a lofty, millenia-old cultivator who's reserved and mature but behaves nothing like that, or the MCs of Cherry Blossoms Upon and Kaleidoscope of Death which do a whole 180 at the end of the novel. This fortunately doesn't happen in this story, which hugely helped my enjoyment of it despite the lack of substantial plot.

Overall a lovely read, full of little gems such as the bitter feelings that come with separation, questions about the meaning/worth of formal education, and family bonds. <<less

Oh my goooood! This was so good, so nice to read, so soft and fluffy. Admittedly, I had no intention of reading it as I immediately left on chapter 1 seeing the recommendations (not really fond of the ones in the recommendation) So I stopped immediately. Are a few days of not being able to read something, I figured that i'll just read this and did not disappoint!

Although it really has traces of the recommendation novels, it was not as unbearable to read. The exes barely even showed... more>> up and I really like the two. Good read. <<less

one of the few with the most drastic character growth MC I've seen and one of the most tolerable ML I've seen

because there's so much gap in the age and also because it's a teacher-student relationship, expect that some dramas will be exerted

but it's especially sweet, expect: the candy sweetness of crush, the rush sweetness of blooming love, the bitter sweetness of challenges, the heartwarming sweetness of love and tolerance, and the calm sweetness of a natural couple with a hint of everlasting love

Smiling and laughing through almost every chapter (other than the serious bits).

Really love these two together. Second re-read, still as good. You can see the MC growing and maturing in his thought process and controlling his temper better, thinking through his actions. Really growing throughout the novel. Difference in this second read is that I realise the groundwork for his character was already there with his divorced parents childhood and having to fend for himself while pursuing an education, deciding to study in that area due to familial responsibilities. He... more>> was even able to take a step back and think even in his early tantrums. Made me like him even more.

Their dynamics is SO CUTE and FUNNY and ahhhh the fluff. The chapter endings with the witty twists from ML and MC.. So good. So well-written. How they met, how they realised, what they did after realising, the many pits and discoveries, dating sweet moments. 💯 I laughed so much through this. Especially when ML’s parents met MC. So funny. The portrayal of the age gap situation is quite realistic, and everything generally progressed at an excellent pace.

My only only gripe if I had to nitpick is

Spoiler

what in the action movie happened in the second half?? LOL. When he manipulated the robot arm to swing? Catch? Him when he escaped from the building was hilariously shocking to me both times I read it.

Will definitely read again. And again. <<less

I initially thought MC was quite mature for how young he was but he keeps getting brattier... I mean ok but I'm not here for second hand embarrassment

And ML is also... fine = not someone I hate, but also very much not my type (he's a "strict teacher" type)

One of the best novels who have a great, great, great romance!

It's specially emitting a green light in my eyes.

Basically the plot is;

... more>> Ting Shuang broke up with his long-time boyfriend because he found out he was being cheated on.

And he's been wreck, so his half-brother visited him and urged him to date. His half-brother downloaded an app (Distance) for him and there he found, Bai Changyi.

They unexpectedly matched and their love story started there.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE ROMANCE HERE! Their relationship was just so green flag for me.

Bai Changyi is older than Ting Shuang, so he's really mature and understanding (which I really like).

Ting Shuang is the younger one, so expect him to be impulsive and green. BUT! There's growth here, you'll see.

Conflict is just family drama, thankfully. Won't detailed it much but...

Spoiler

I really don't like his half-brother, Zhu Wenjia.

I won't forgive Zhu Wenjia for what he did. He didn't even realize the consequences of his actions, of how it would affect Ting Shuang. If he, at least once treated Ting as a brother, he should have thought of it or maybe it would crossed his mind.

He's downright selfish. And after he grew up, unsurprisingly he still didn't change.

I won't forget his actions towards Ting just for his own selfish desire.

[collapse]

This novel is recommended. Really fluffy and sweet. It also has a bit comedic undertone which I also love.

Spoiler

It also have some nsfw scenes. ;)
