## My Thoughts on Not Obedient "Not Obedient" took me on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, and honestly, I'm still processing it. It's a relatively short read, which is a plus, but the story packs quite a punch in those chapters. It's definitely a drama, romance, and yaoi blend, and those tags are accurate – so prepare yourself! ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the premise of a blind date gone sideways. The awkwardness and potential for humor were definitely appealing. I also appreciated the cross-dressing aspect of the MC, which felt unique and well-integrated into his character. It wasn't just a gimmick, but a genuine part of who he was. ### What Works Well The chemistry between the leads is undeniable. Watching their relationship develop, even with all the bumps in the road, was genuinely heartwarming. The author does a great job of creating tension and conflict without making it unbearable. There are misunderstandings, sure, but they felt organic to the story and the characters involved. I also really enjoyed the MC's character. Yes, he makes some questionable decisions, but his backstory adds depth and explains his actions. He's not perfect, and that's what makes him relatable. The ML is a doting and caring partner, which is always a plus in my book. He's protective without being overbearing, striking a nice balance. The writing style is subtle and allows you to analyze the characters and their motivations, making for a more engaging read. ### Areas of Concern I can see why some readers might find the MC frustrating. He's not always the most rational character, and his decisions can be head-scratching at times. The angst stemming from miscommunication might also be a turn-off for those seeking a purely lighthearted read. I also found some of the ML's actions questionable, particularly his tendency to "manipulate" the MC, even if unconsciously. It felt a bit off at times. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers may find that the MC's deception of the ML in the first half of the novel detracts from the story. The aftermath is a significant part of the plot. ### Final Verdict Overall, I'd say "Not Obedient" is a solid read if you're looking for a story with a good balance of angst, romance, and character development. It's not perfect, but it's engaging and thought-provoking. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars. Just be prepared for some emotional ups and downs along the way!
