My Thoughts on Carat
"Carat" has been quite the journey! Diving into this adult fantasy yaoi, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I came away with a lot to think about. The premise itself is intriguing, and the execution, for the most part, really delivers.
First Impressions
From the get-go, the world-building grabbed my attention. The concept of humanoid servants opens up a lot of interesting questions about humanity and autonomy, and I was eager to see how the author would explore these themes. I was immediately invested in the unique setting and the dynamics between the characters.
What Works Well
The character development, especially for the MC, Seok Ryu, is a major highlight. Watching him evolve from feeling "subhuman" to embracing his own desires and self-worth is incredibly satisfying. The author did a fantastic job of making me care about his journey and root for his happiness. The ML is also quite endearing, and their relationship provides a strong emotional core to the story. The author's writing style is engaging and kept me hooked from beginning to end. The plot is well-paced, with plenty of drama and excitement to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed "Carat," I have to acknowledge some minor drawbacks. I felt that the ending felt somewhat rushed. Several plot points and character arcs could have benefited from further exploration. The story juggles multiple narratives towards the end, leaving some threads feeling a bit underdeveloped. A more gradual and detailed conclusion would have elevated the story even further.
Final Verdict
Despite a slightly rushed ending, "Carat" is a captivating and thought-provoking read. The world-building is imaginative, the characters are compelling, and the writing is top-notch. If you're looking for a unique and engaging fantasy yaoi with a strong emotional core, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
