My Thoughts on I’m a Straight Man in BL Love

"I'm a Straight Man in BL Love" presents a unique premise: a straight actor navigating a BL reality show. I dove in with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, and I've emerged with a somewhat conflicted opinion. It's a light read, but some aspects might not appeal to everyone.

First Impressions

The initial chapters are definitely attention-grabbing. The concept of a straight man surrounded by potential male suitors in a BL context is inherently humorous, and I was eager to see how the author would execute it. The pacing felt good, drawing me into the world of the show and the various personalities involved.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a strong point. The MC's obliviousness to the romantic intentions directed his way provides plenty of comedic moments. I also appreciated that the potential love interests weren't overly aggressive or possessive. They seemed like relatively normal people, which made the story less stressful to read. The writing style is easy to follow, making it a relaxing and enjoyable experience overall.

Areas of Concern

The MC's naivete, while initially funny, does become a bit of a sticking point. It stretched my believability that a grown man, experienced in his career, could be so utterly clueless about the effect he has on others. This is made worse by the fact that he is acting the part of a BL character, and it's hard to believe he is unaware of how his actions could be interpreted. Also, some found the sheer number of characters overwhelming, making it difficult to connect with any of them on a deeper level. They felt more like plot devices than fully fleshed-out individuals.

Final Verdict

"I’m a Straight Man in BL Love" is a mixed bag. If you're looking for a lighthearted, easy-to-read story with a unique premise and don't mind a somewhat dense protagonist, you might find it enjoyable. However, if you prefer more depth in your characters and a more believable plot, this might not be the novel for you. I'd recommend going in with tempered expectations and a willingness to embrace the absurdity of the situation.
