Description
The ordinary office worker, Cha Jeong-woo, found himself transmigrated into a BL novel his younger sister used to read. Fortunately, apart from age, educational background, and college peers, nothing seemed to have changed. Despite drawing a clear line, claiming indifference to the fate of the main couple, and insisting on the irrelevance to himself, chance encounters with the supporting character continued, and the guy kept catching his eye. “…Jeong-woo, I’m in pain.”“Hey, what do I do if you suddenly cling to me? I get it, so move aside quickly.”“…I’m really hurting. Don’t push me away just because it’s frustrating.” The occasional concern for a guy who wasn’t in the best health, the gift of a summer cardigan, and the reason behind replacing the worn-out band on his bruised fist. Despite denying it amidst accumulating doubts, eventually— “I… like Min Si-heon, the supporting character in this novel.” Treating him not just as a friend but also feeling affection. It was an unrequited love with no chance. Deciding to keep a distance for a while, convinced that seeing Min Si-heon would only make the heartache worse… “Jeong-woo, why aren’t you answering my calls?”“Is everything okay?”“Could you please pick up the phone?”::“Jeong-woo, please contact me before I come to catch you.”

My Thoughts on The Subplot Of This Novel Is Peculiar
"The Subplot Of This Novel Is Peculiar" certainly lives up to its name. Diving into this novel was a bit of a rollercoaster, and my experience was definitely mixed. It's a story with potential, but the execution left me wanting more.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise and the tags – black belly love interests, a dense protagonist, and a comedic undertone promised an engaging read. However, my first impression was somewhat marred by the translation issues. I found it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story when I was constantly tripping over awkward phrasing and grammatical errors.
What Works Well
Despite the initial hurdles, there were aspects of the novel that I genuinely enjoyed. I appreciated the depth of the characters, particularly the male lead's obsessive nature. The exploration of the characters' feelings, struggles, and relationship dynamics felt realistic. The author captured the nuances of everyday life and the effort required to maintain a relationship, even with its mundane struggles, which I found refreshing. The smut scenes were intense and believable, adding another layer to the characters' connection. The premise of the MC transmigrating into a BL novel also had potential, even if its execution was not always perfect.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue with this novel was the confusing timeline and the constant jumping between POVs. It made it difficult to follow the plot and understand the characters' motivations. I often felt disoriented and had to reread sections to make sense of what was happening. The translation quality was also a significant drawback, as it detracted from the overall reading experience. The writing style, while potentially artistic, felt peculiar and made it hard to connect with the story.

While the characters and relationship dynamics are intriguing, the confusing timeline, translation issues, and peculiar writing style detract from the overall experience. If you can grit your teeth and push through the rough patches, you might find something to enjoy. However, I would recommend waiting for a better translation before diving in. Overall, I'd give it a tentative 3/5. It has potential, but it needs some serious polishing to truly shine.
