Pythagoras Theorem

“Brother-in-law…” Xia Xuan said hesitantly, “May I ask why you two divorced?” Gu Qian paused for a moment while chopping vegetables, looked at Xia Xuan, and said superficially, “If you don’t like it and it’s not suitable, naturally you can’t force it. You are still young, there are some things you don’t understand.” Xia Xuan rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of something, walked over to the man’s side, and deliberately whispered in Gu Qian’s ear, “Brother-in-law, my sister doesn’t love you, but I do…”

## My Thoughts on Pythagoras Theorem Alright, let's dive into "Pythagoras Theorem." I went in expecting a steamy, lighthearted romp, and for the most part, that's what I got. This short read definitely delivers on the smut and comedy, but it also has some interesting layers beneath the surface that kept me engaged. ### First Impressions The premise itself is pretty wild: a college student dead-set on seducing his brother-in-law. The "pe*verted protagonist" tag is definitely accurate, and I was curious to see how the author would handle such a character. The "older love interest" trope is always a fun dynamic, and I was eager to see how the power imbalance would play out. ### What Works Well The humor is definitely a strong point. The MC's relentless pursuit of the ML, and the ML's attempts to resist, create some genuinely funny moments. I also appreciated the unexpected plot twists. The ending, in particular, threw me for a loop and made me re-evaluate the characters and their motivations. The author did a good job of creating a world where things aren't always as they seem. Despite the potentially angsty setup, the overall tone remains comedic, making it an easy and enjoyable read. The relationship between the main characters is definitely a main draw. The push and pull and the MC's determination is a fun dynamic that keeps you reading. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the story overall, there were a couple of elements that gave me pause. The dynamic between the MC and ML could be seen as problematic by some, and the ML's initial reluctance, rooted in concerns about societal acceptance, felt a little cliché. I also had some issues with the MC's actions, which at times felt manipulative. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, here's where we get into spoiler territory. The revelation about the ML's past and his relationship with the MC's sister adds a layer of complexity to the story. Also, be warned that the MC takes some questionable actions to get the ML's attention, including faking a situation. These moments might be off-putting for some readers. ### Final Verdict "Pythagoras Theorem" is a quick, fun, and surprisingly thought-provoking read. If you're looking for a smutty comedy with some unexpected twists, this might be right up your alley. Just be aware that it deals with some potentially sensitive themes and that the characters aren't always morally perfect. I'd say give it a try if you're in the mood for something a little bit different.
