Description
“Hyung… My… The study… It’s… Please….” A younger brother’s dying will. After losing my younger brother, who was also my sole remaining family member. I, Tae-Woon, published a review of the BL novel on my younger brother’s SNS following his request. After reading the last volume, I fell asleep with a clear mind. “Hyung! Wake up! “You must go to school!” When I opened my eyes, I had become a student at Korea’s most prestigious university! However, gays are present everywhere. This place, where my younger brother Seong-Je lives, is a midday dream from which I do not wish to awaken. But my everyday life was disrupted by strange guys approaching me. “Sunbae, stop leaking.” “What shall I do? Hyung, you’re mean. Who else would treat you with such kindness? “Tae-Woon, don’t go.” According to information acquired from 1,321 BL books, these are the vile ‘balls’ that long for the burning. Tae-Woon attempts to maintain his purity somehow, but… “If you don’t want to become gay, You’re supposed to come back to the real world.” I do not want to return to that miserable reality without my brother. For the sake of Seong-Je, I’ll indulge as much as possible!

Are There Only Gays in Korea University? Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Are There Only Gays in Korea University?
"Are There Only Gays in Korea University?" certainly grabbed my attention with its title, and I dove in with a healthy dose of curiosity. It's a completed original novel with a translation ongoing, so I knew I was getting in on the ground floor, which is always exciting.
First Impressions
The premise is definitely intriguing – a guy diving headfirst into the world of BL to understand his friend. The comedic undertones are apparent early on, and the initial chapters had me chuckling. I was immediately drawn in by the main character's dedication (or perhaps obsession?) to understanding the BL genre, all in the name of bro-mance.
What Works Well
The novel really shines in its comedic delivery. The misunderstandings and jealousies that bubble up between the characters are classic shounen ai fodder, and the author uses them effectively to create some genuinely funny moments. The exploration of unrequited love is also a strong point, adding a layer of emotional depth to the otherwise lighthearted narrative. I found myself invested in the characters and their relationships, even when they were being utterly ridiculous. The setting of Korea University also adds a relatable and realistic backdrop to the story.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the comedic aspects, I did find myself wanting a bit more depth in certain areas. The main character's initial reaction to the situation felt a little too lighthearted at times, almost glossing over potentially serious emotional complexities. I'm hoping that as the story progresses, there will be more exploration of his internal struggles and motivations. It's a minor quibble, but one that kept me from fully immersing myself in the story.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Are There Only Gays in Korea University?" is an entertaining read with a lot of potential. The comedic elements are strong, the characters are engaging, and the premise is certainly unique. While there are areas where I'd like to see more depth, the novel is still early in its translation, and I'm optimistic that these aspects will be further developed. If you're looking for a lighthearted and funny shounen ai story with a healthy dose of misunderstandings and unrequited love, this might be right up your alley. I'm definitely sticking around to see where this story goes.
