I was glass—transparent, breakable, brittle. Pinocchio once again reminded of why he’d had to stop being a real boy in the first place. 


On one hand, this book probably had no business being this long. On the other hand, I kind of loved a lot of these gradual, slow-paced developments. It read like a fanfic about original characters, the type of story that’s more of a character and relationships study with plot happening in the background to nudge the characters’ toward specific developments. The LI wouldn’t have reason to take the MC shopping if the MC’s house doesn’t mysteriously burn down first, you know what I mean?

The relationship itself is a super slow burn, too: it takes these guys the length of an average book to start affirming their mutual interest. Fine by me—I love me some slow burn, and it works with both of their backstories—but I feel …

Review of 'Pluto Urasawa X Tezuka A New Vision Based On Astro Boy The Greatest Robot On Earth' on 'Storygraph'

 Nichts Neues. Derselbe Klischee, den es schon überall im Hetero-Romantasy gibt. 

 

Ich fühle mich schon etwas schlecht, so wenig Sterne zu geben, aber ganz ehrlich… wenn man’s nicht in den Klappentext schreibt, dass es Romantasy ist, aber Romance doch sehr im Vordergrund steht, selbst schuld, muss ich ehrlich sagen.

He was the master of his own time. With nowhere to be and no one to please.


Despite being written by a completely different author, this book was almost a copy of Up for Heir (book 1 in the Rosavia Royals series) in so many way. There was the same prince & commoner dynamic, with the same "gorgeous, kind, sexy prince swoops in to make everything better and starts spoiling the commoner rotten" trope. The commoner is, once again, responsible for a younger family member, although it's just one niece this time and not a bunch of siblings. The commoner also has taken a big hit to his self-esteem recently thanks to a shitty ex who broke up with him in a shitty way. There's the same type of insta-love, based on little more than "I saw him, and there's something about him, can't stay away." There are even similar …
