My Thoughts on Sponsor

"Sponsor" is a novel that definitely sparked some strong reactions, and after diving in, I can see why. It's a blend of modern romance, omegaverse elements, and some pretty steamy scenes, all wrapped up in a story about a boss-subordinate relationship. My overall impression is mixed, but there are definitely aspects that kept me turning the page.

First Impressions

The premise is intriguing: a protagonist who falls head-over-heels for a celebrity and initially just wants to support him from afar. That initial infatuation and restraint definitely drew me in. I was curious to see how their relationship would evolve, especially with the power dynamics at play. The "golden retriever" top and somewhat stubborn bottom dynamic also sounded like it could be fun.

What Works Well

The initial slow burn and the MC's internal struggle with his feelings are compelling. There's something appealing about a character who's learning to embrace his desires. Also, the explicit scenes were well-received by some, and were described as "hot." I can see how the passionate encounters could be a major draw for readers looking for that kind of content.

Areas of Concern

While the premise is good, the execution seems to have some issues. Several readers found the writing to be somewhat nonsensical and the dialogue stiff. The characters' behavior was also a point of contention, with some describing it as childish. This immaturity, especially towards the end, really dampened the experience for some.

The length of the smut scenes also became a drag for some readers, with one mentioning the MC's heat lasting for what felt like forever. This, combined with explicit content, led to a feeling of boredom.

Final Verdict

"Sponsor" is a novel with potential, but it seems to stumble in its execution. The initial charm of the characters and the intriguing premise are overshadowed by issues with writing quality, character behavior, and pacing. If you're looking for a story with explicit content and a boss-subordinate relationship, you might find something to enjoy here, but be prepared for some frustrating moments along the way. Proceed with caution, and maybe have some patience handy.
