Savage Addiction

My Thoughts on Savage Addiction

"Savage Addiction" promised a comedic romance, and it mostly delivered. I found myself chuckling at the clash between the pampered CEO and the rugged forest ranger. It's a quick, lighthearted read, perfect for when you need a break from heavier plots.

First Impressions

The initial setup is fantastic: a high-maintenance city boy gets stranded and rescued by a seemingly uncivilized man living in the wilderness. The contrast is immediately apparent, and the potential for humor is sky-high. I was hooked from the start, eager to see how these two very different characters would interact. I was definitely not disappointed.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a strong point. The dynamic between Ning You and Li Mu is hilarious, with their constant bickering and playful insults. I really enjoyed watching the "swan" MC slowly adapt to his new surroundings, discovering a different side of himself in the process. The author does a great job of showing their natural attraction, and their relationship development feels believable, even within a relatively short timeframe. I appreciated that the story touches on environmental themes, adding a bit of depth to the otherwise lighthearted narrative. Also, even without explicit scenes, the author manages to create a palpable sense of attraction and tension between the two leads.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the overall story, I can see why some readers felt the plot lost some steam after the couple got together. There's also the fact that the "savage" ML isn't really all that savage. He has Wi-Fi, a coffee machine, and takes good care of the MC. This might be a letdown if you're expecting a truly barbaric love interest.

Final Verdict

Overall, I'd recommend "Savage Addiction" if you're looking for a cute, funny, and relatively short yaoi romance. It's not perfect, but it's an enjoyable read with a charming couple dynamic and some thoughtful commentary on environmentalism and modern life. Despite its flaws, the novel's strengths outweigh its weaknesses, making it a worthwhile read.
