fun read, but it has its flaws
listen,

i'm not particularly picky when it comes to romance, especially not shoujo ai, so me having enough interest to complete this was a no-brainer. really, you could give me the most boring shoujo ai manga on earth and i'd still give it a high rating.

that aside, though, it fell off at some parts, and i didn't particularly like some tropes and aspects of it. i found some characters to be quite...creepy, in a way? (perhaps i'm overthinking this, but i found cui xin's interest in qi lin and cang shu's relationship quite odd) and some parts were just flat-out unnecessary. (side note: it may have just been the translation, i can't speak chinese fluently enough so i can't really confirm, but i found some of the language used to be quite....eh)

i actually started reading this quite a long time ago but ended up dropping it for reasons that i couldn't remember, but now that i've picked it up again and read it until the end, i think i kind of remember why i didn't go through with it then.

but i'll put these complaints aside and praise it now.

i actually liked how it approached character flaws and trauma. cang shu, for example, is someone i can say i somewhat relate to. that fear of failure is something that i strongly feel myself, and to see a character have that same fear and experience it almost exactly the same way as i do was something that made me feel quite satisfied. it's a small thing, i know, but seeing pieces of myself in characters in media i consume is something i find quite nice.

also, i liked how cui xin's whole thing with his gender was dealt with. the whole arc surrounding him and his identity as kyoko-chan was honestly one of my favorite parts. that fear he felt as the issue regarding his persona and his true identity began to spread, and that pain he felt as the hate comments started coming in was something that really hit me. the frustration he felt as people began to spread misinformation and misconceptions about what happened was played out so well that i got mad, too.

i think my favorite part of the arc was when a fan messaged him and told him about his story - about how he, like cui xin, liked wearing skirts and dresses and presenting feminine, and was ridiculed and shamed for it. what happens after was somewhat of a tearjerker for me, because cui xin's words kind of struck a cord. i saw a part of myself in that fan; i felt something similar. so sure, maybe what cui xin said was quite frankly bare minimum at best, but bare minimum doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. i felt seen, and i liked that.

final verdict: would recommend if you aren't particularly nitpicky about what language and tropes are used, but if you are, then i wouldn't really say it's a must-read. it's a pretty cute read, though, so i'd say just give it a try and simply drop it if you think it doesn't suit your taste.

My Darling Is The Cutest: A Series To Recommend!
At first it was hard to enjoy the characters, especially when one is clingy with no reason as to why, and the other is so avoidant it just comes off as being rude when they give false hope to the clingy character that they can be close; it came off as kind of annoying since the characters weren’t relatable at that time in a crucial part of the story when the reader is supposed to get hooked. But after giving a chance, there’s quite deep backstories to Sadie and Lex which explain why they are how they are, especially in the friend department, which explains their views on ‘having friends’. This also helped add some more joy to watching the two actually start to get along. You feel their stories, from friendship that means the world to them after the lack of friends/respect prior, to even more; a budding romance.

There’s also the side plot with Xavier and Hank, and while I think Xav’s ‘shipping’ thing can be off putting at times (part of the reason of a lower score) it’s never enough to deter from reading on or even finding him funny or his interactions with Hank quite cute. His more ‘crack based’ plot being taken seriously is also not something I expected, but the suspense between him and Hank from the thought of Hank finding out his secret was a nice detail, and became very emotional near the end- at least for me.

There was never a time where I was bored of watching a side character group interact for too long.

I also loved that the characters were often portrayed as animals. One of my favourite parts of the whole series was seeing Sadie as a little hamster with a head of hair and glasses on, perched on the head of a large samoyed. Lex and Hank being similar characters (Sadie and Xav also being somewhat parallels) was also enjoyable in these sections, as they’re both portrayed as larger and fluffier animals, while their ‘partners’ are shown to be smaller.

A dislike I have that’s far stronger than my dislike for the ‘shipping’ from Xav was the parent portrayal. I dislike how after Sadie introduces Lex to her mother, Sadie’s mother is just cool with everything despite their past showing different. And with Xav, his mother came off as confusing towards his ‘crack plot’ (to avoid spoiling). She at first came off as angry and disapproving, even partially aggressive, but then said it was just because she didn’t want him to get hurt, which shouldn’t be shown as a healthy portrayal of protection.

I’m not too experienced on Manhuas yet, let alone GLs, but this so far has been my favourite read. Good art style, good characters, funny plot, long chapters. The plot is good for many LGBT based readers, even partially including transgender relatability. What more could you ask!! 100% a recommendation I will give to others on the future!!
