/ LGBT+ / Devotion [BL]
Synopsis
An unexpected encounter drew two students, Ren and Shinobu, to each other. Opposites attract. Friendship ensues. Feelings grow. Will they remain together in spite of their differences?
"You're either nuts or stupid."
"Actually, I'm neither. But you're just being difficult."
"That's what I do, you idiot."
"Well, being sociable is what I do."
Shinobu laughed out loud after a dead beat of silence. Ren was astonished. It was a nice sound, low and almost husky.
Why in the name of god did he think that?
[Note: It is the first novel in a loosely connected trilogy: 1. Devotion 2. Capture 3. Love Is]

Although it could be more descriptive this is a really sweet love story about two men who almost lost each other even when they still had a chance to be together and luckily they stayed with each other working for their happiness ☺.
I loved this story so much! <3 personally speaking, I have read a lot of decent stories but only few stories have actually found their way into my heart and have been acknowledged as a really good book to me. I know that this might not mean much since like I'm not someone important and stuff, but I wanted to let you know that I found this story to be one of the few good stories I have read. Thank you so much for this story <33
So far as the story goes, I had a constant problem with the pacing. It was that the pace of the story is too fast that the progression of their romance was cut too short to the point that I didn't have any attachment to their romance. There wasn't any lingering special memories about their love story which is a detrimental issue because this story is romance. Also, the transition from scene to scene is very confusing. Using dividers weren't enough because the jumps from scenes are just too big. Words like, meanwhile, 2 years later and such would be such a great help to locate the setting off the story. As for the characters, Ren and Shinobu`s character design are kind of established but still lacks on some parts. It would probably be better if chapters are designated to elaborate their past rather than them merely as a conversation. I bet you would be more attached to the MC's if you get to know them more. As for some of the side characters, I find it dreadful to say but their existence was very weak, it's like they only appear so that the MC's wouldn't seem like they are the only people in the world. I didn't feel any attachement to these characters that their relevance to the story was merely "just because". It wouldn't hurt to add some spice between their friendship so that the MC's character design would also be more established. Specially these are the people who got involved and are involved with the MC's. As for the plot and setting. I told it in one of my comments, the beginning was too much of a cliche, but it was okay if as the story progresses, this cliche scenery would be converted to something extravagant, but with as the chapters add up, nothing special really happens and still runs on the cliche pathway. But let me make myself clear. I am not saying that the writer wasn't good nor the story itself was bad. In fact, the writer writes in a manner that is not tiring to read which would complement the issues of the novel. Which is why I still expect more development and progression in the story. I want to read more of it which is a positive thing because somehow, I wanna see more from this writer. I believe their talent. That sums up my review, and as far as today, my rating is 3.2 and I'm hoping I'd rate it higher next time. Thank you.

I very much enjoyed reading this book, the character development was wonderful to read and the pace was well worth the effort the author put into the story. I will definitely recommend this book to many people
Some characters could have been expanded more but the story is very cute and the main couple is adorable. It is short, sweet and to the point without digging too much in drama.
