## My Thoughts on I’m Acting Gay on a Dating Show "I’m Acting Gay on a Dating Show" promised a fun blend of reality TV antics and e-sports drama, and for the most part, it delivered. I went in expecting a lighthearted romance, and that's precisely what I got. ### First Impressions The premise itself is what initially hooked me. The idea of a protagonist pretending to be gay on a dating show, while also navigating the competitive world of e-sports, felt fresh and exciting. I was eager to see how the author would weave these two seemingly disparate worlds together. ### What Works Well The core strength of this novel lies in its sweetness and humor. The relationship between the main characters is undeniably cute, with the ML's devoted pursuit of the MC being a major highlight. I particularly enjoyed how the author presented the variety show arc before diving into the netizen reactions; it created a nice build-up of anticipation. The ML is proactive and devoted to the MC, which is very fun to read. The story focused on the lightheartedness, which made it an enjoyable read. As an e-sports lover, I enjoyed how the dating show connected to the e-sports. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the overall story, I did find some areas where it could have been stronger. The e-sports element, while present, felt somewhat secondary. I would have liked to see a greater focus on the MC's past and his desire to return to the competitive scene. I also noticed the MC is quite passive throughout the story, which can be frustrating to some readers. I think it would have been nice to see the MC take a more active role in the relationship and his own career. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning There is a spoiler regarding the ending of Wei Fengmian. ### Final Verdict Overall, "I’m Acting Gay on a Dating Show" is a charming and lighthearted novel that I would recommend to readers looking for a sweet romance with a touch of e-sports. While it may not delve deeply into complex themes or character development, it excels at providing an entertaining and heartwarming story. If you're in the mood for a fun, fluffy read about a devoted fan chasing his idol, this one's definitely worth checking out.
