emotional fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

2.0

binasa ko lang talaga ito for reading slump.

the characters were fine, but they weren't loveable. it's hard to be fond of the author's characters. the way Leandro liked Chayo at an early age made me agitated and uncomfortable, but at least he didn't initiate anything. it's just so weird how Leandro reacts to Chayo's romantic relationships and the author's description of him (eg. he looked at me darkly) like dude. . . but i liked Kuya Levi and that's all. 

the plot is just bland. just leaves me with distaste. 

Spoiler EDIT (05/08/23): WAAAIT, hold up. ang weird talaga kasi college na si Leandro kaya probs nasa 20s na siya??? (xori 'di ko po maalala!) tapos nasa JHS palang si Chayo!!! ahahahaha overthink lang kasi may similar problematic plot na grooming siya sa ibang story.  and i just re-read pov ni Leandro, it's so weird.
