3/27/24 Review
Sigh. I bought this ebook on Amazon before I knew about the problematic issues surrounding the two authors.
I highly suggest you do your own research before buying the book and supporting them. I'm leaving a review to bring awareness to this as Seven Seas recently announced they got the license to publish. Here's a link if you are interested in looking into it.

I wanted to read the book before watching the series because I have heard great things about Kinn and Porsche. While I absolutely love Porsche and the overall story was great, this novel has MANY flaws and red flags so beware...
🔴Ableist word choices (extremely derogatory)
🔴Dub-con (but much closer to rape) twice
🔴Major homophobia which is so weird to me in a BL/MM
🔴 Derogatory terms related to women
🔴 Overuse of the word bastard in this translation (994 times 🤣)
🔴 Editing in this version is pretty bad but still readable
This should have been a DNF but I wanted to know the obsession people had with Kinn and Porsche. I think I get it but Porsche deserves so much better.

Thanks for the review, I was excited to see Seven Seas pick up a Thai Y-novel but after researching the authors I gave the book a hard pass. Doesn’t sound like I’m missing anything good

I hope other Thai books get licensed!
I don't have anything against the word "bastard", esp. compared to everything else, but there's smth hilarious about 994 times. Could have gone for a nice round 1000 🤣

This one is going to be a hard pass for me, but I really appreciate your added warning about it. What I’ve seen online about one of the authors was just urgh.
