Description
She spent the night with her childhood friend. If there had been no feelings involved, it might have been fine. But for Iliana, who liked her childhood friend, Lucian, that night was filled with selfish emotions. She wanted to flee and pretend it never happened, but when Lucian came directly to her house, she realized she wouldn’t be able to avoid him. “Do you… not remember?” “Embarrassingly, no.” He said he didn’t remember. And on top of that— “You’ll help me fix my habit, won’t you?” He even asked her to help him fix his drinking habit. Where exactly was this one-sided love heading? Though she felt uneasy, Iliana couldn’t bring herself to refuse Lucian’s request. It was the defeat of someone in unrequited love. * * * “Did we… kiss?” Even though he didn’t remember, Lucian’s troubled gaze, which he couldn’t hide, stirred her heart. She thought she had already fallen as far as she could, but it seemed there was still further to fall. “Ah, no, um…” The drunken haze that had clouded her mind instantly cleared. Her fingertips trembled as she struggled to suppress the flood of words that she couldn’t even ask him to forget. Lucian’s gaze, which had been watching Iliana as she fumbled for words, narrowed. As Iliana desperately tried to get her muddled mind back to normal, she suddenly froze at the warmth she felt against her cheek. The leisurely touch of his hand was searing. “Should we try again?” “W-what…?” “The thing I can’t remember.”

My Thoughts on My Childhood Friend’s Drinking Habit
Alright, let's dive into "My Childhood Friend's Drinking Habit." With its tags promising a blend of European ambiance, childhood friends, and mature themes, I was intrigued. However, after reading through the available content, I have some mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The premise is certainly interesting. A female protagonist deeply in love with her childhood friend, complicated by his… significant drinking problem. The European setting adds a touch of old-world charm that I always appreciate. However, I quickly found that the execution didn't quite live up to the initial promise.
What Works Well
The initial slice-of-life feel and the exploration of unrequited love are compelling. The author does a decent job of establishing the deep-seated affection the female lead has for her childhood friend. I could feel the pining and longing, which is a crucial element for this type of story. Some readers might enjoy the slow-burn aspect, as the story unfolds at a deliberate pace, allowing for character development and world-building.
Areas of Concern
Here's where things get a bit tricky. The portrayal of the male lead's drinking habit and its consequences is… problematic, to say the least. There are elements within the story that made me feel uneasy. The power dynamics feel skewed, and I struggled to fully invest in the romance.

Final Verdict
"My Childhood Friend's Drinking Habit" has potential, but the execution needs significant work. The exploration of unrequited love and the European setting are appealing, but the problematic elements surrounding consent and power dynamics ultimately overshadow the positive aspects. Proceed with caution if you decide to give this one a read. Personally, I'm not sure I'll be continuing.
