Roommate, Don’t Love Me Too Much

There is a kind of orientation, called ‘the direction of the heart.’ My roommate is clearly a straight guy, yet he keeps sticking to me. He comforts me to sleep, accompanies me to class, and even washes my socks-basically like a model boyfriend. Just when the ambiguous atmosphere reached its peak and I was contemplating confessing my feelings, I overheard him coldly telling a guy from the same department, ‘I don’t like you, and I’m not gay either.’

## My Thoughts on Roommate, Don’t Love Me Too Much ### First Impressions "Roommate, Don’t Love Me Too Much" immediately charmed me with its premise. The idea of a cohabitation story set against the backdrop of a college or university promises a blend of everyday life and budding romance. The tags like "calm protagonist" and "doting love interests" definitely piqued my interest, suggesting a sweet and heartwarming dynamic. Going in, I was expecting a lighthearted read, and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed. ### What Works Well The story's strongest point is undoubtedly its focus on the relationship between the two male leads. The author does a great job of portraying a caring and charming protagonist that draws you in.
