My Thoughts on The Roommates Were Ecstatic to See Their Roommate in a Dress

"The Roommates Were Ecstatic to See Their Roommate in a Dress" is a short and sweet BL story that I found myself smiling at, even with a few hiccups along the way. It's definitely a light read, perfect for when you want something cute and fluffy without a huge commitment.

First Impressions

The premise is undeniably charming: a naive and innocent protagonist thrown into a dorm situation with a misunderstanding that sparks an unexpected romance. I was immediately drawn in by the promise of fluffy interactions and lighthearted comedy. The title itself is intriguing and hints at the central, albeit brief, cross-dressing element.

What Works Well

The undeniable strength of this story lies in the relationship between the main characters. The author does a great job of portraying their inner feelings, making their connection feel genuine and heartwarming. I especially appreciated the lack of unnecessary drama, allowing the focus to remain on the development of their relationship. The male lead is definitely a charmer, and his interactions with the innocent protagonist are consistently amusing.

Areas of Concern

While the story is mostly cute and enjoyable, I did find some elements a bit jarring. Several readers, including myself, noted the presence of a "creepy" roommate whose actions bordered on dubious consent. While the male lead intervenes, these scenes can be unsettling and might be triggering for some. Additionally, the plot has some weird holes that don't always make sense. It's important to remember that this is a short story, and depth isn't its primary goal. However, a little more attention to detail could have elevated the overall experience. I also felt that the "dress" aspect was underutilized, almost a forgotten detail in the grand scheme of things.

Final Verdict

Despite its flaws, "The Roommates Were Ecstatic to See Their Roommate in a Dress" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a quick dose of BL fluff. The central romance is adorable, and the overall tone is lighthearted and fun. Just be aware of the potentially triggering content and don't expect a deeply complex plot. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants a short, sweet, and mostly cute story to brighten their day.
