The reading experience was honestly ok

I read this on other site and decided to come out some thoughts on here for when I’m rereading BL and choosing what’s worth the reread.

Overall it’s an ok read, the main couple is extremely cute at times but BY GOD the misunderstandings drag on. It’s like they can’t seem to remember what communication is - hell even if they had slight miscommunications, you’d think they’d be capable of critical thinking skills for some of the many piled up miscommunications.
It really could’ve wrapped up wayyyyy sooner but seemed to drag on for story sake, I can’t believe I’m gonna say this but any jealous trope, travel trope, etc. would’ve been better to carry the plot OR maybe, just maybe, their work. As chefs.

Either way for as much as I complain I thought it was pretty cute. I like chef for as emotional stunted and one dimensional he is. The MC is a little childish, but really not the worst offender of this. He’s clearly always been in love with chef and he turns to mush when it comes to anything about him.

As for the best part? The redhead. MC is fucking strong to not have slept with him once. It was goddamn criminal not to give him more of a story.
