Description
I had possessed the body of the pretty bottom in a 19+ BL novel. “I like you.” Where the male lead turned villainous, threatening to bring about the end of the world. A hopeless place. “I’m serious.” To prevent him from going mad, I tried to differ from the original story. In the original story, his craziness stemmed from the pretty bottom’s complete disregard for him. So, I confessed first. Expecting to be rejected. “I have someone else I like.” “Yeah, I know.” In the original story, his confession was brutally trampled upon by me, leading to him turning into a villain. “I’m a guy too. And so are you.” “I know that. I just wanted to say it.” I was relieved knowing he would reject me. “Can we still be friends?” He frowned and then sighed before answering. “Huh.” I smiled wistfully in relief. Because I was turned down. “This is my fiance.” “What do you mean engagement between men?” When he questioned me in confusion, I cheerfully responded. “Actually, I’m a woman.” I assumed it would be okay since he had rejected me countless times before. “What?” The moment I saw the surprise in his eyes, I realized something was terribly wrong. The vivid madness flickering in his gaze was something I had never seen before.

My Thoughts on I Give Up on the BL Novel’s Male Leads
Alright, let's dive into "I Give Up on the BL Novel’s Male Leads." I went in with moderate expectations, and I came out… well, with mixed feelings, to say the least. This one definitely has some strong points, but also some significant drawbacks that I think potential readers should be aware of.
First Impressions
The premise is definitely intriguing: a protagonist finding herself in a BL novel and deciding to throw the whole script out the window. The academy setting, the cross-dressing, the nobles – it all paints a picture of a classic fantasy romance with a twist. I was definitely hooked initially, eager to see how the female lead would navigate this world and subvert the established tropes.
What Works Well
The world-building is quite decent. The author does a solid job of creating a European-esque setting with magic and distinct social strata. I found myself easily immersed in the academy life and the intricacies of noble society. The writing style is also quite readable, and the translation (at least what I've read so far) is smooth and flows well. This made it easy to keep turning the page, even when I felt like I was getting emotionally pummeled.
Areas of Concern
Here's where things get a bit… complicated. While the premise is interesting, the execution, at times, left me wanting more. Honestly, I found myself getting frustrated with the characters and their choices. I can see why some readers might find the story suffocating. The misunderstandings pile up, the love triangles become increasingly tangled, and the protagonist often seems to be caught in a web of her own making. It's the kind of story that makes you want to grab the main character and shake them, urging them to just talk to each other! It's frustrating to watch the female lead not rage at the men in her life.
Final Verdict
"I Give Up on the BL Novel’s Male Leads" is a mixed bag. It has a compelling premise, a well-built world, and a readable writing style. However, the frustrating character dynamics and the overuse of common tropes can make it a difficult read at times. If you enjoy stories with lots of angst and don't mind a protagonist who makes questionable decisions, this might be for you. However, if you're looking for a lighthearted and straightforward read, you might want to proceed with caution. Overall, it's a novel with potential that, in my opinion, doesn't quite live up to it.
