Description
After going to the doctor for a physical exam, I found out that I had an incurable disease. Depression overtook me at the thought of myself never having had the opportunity to sleep with the ~perfect man~. Why do I have to die so soon?! Before I die, I must sleep with someone! On a dark and windy night, two men raised their glasses, sharing a toast. One of the men, using his inebriated state to his advantage, finally summoned the courage to sleep with his ~Prince Charming~; making love until he achieved satisfaction—until he was sore to the point where tears were shed—then, exactly as the popular custom prescribed: he snuck away in secret. Three months later, while awaiting his appointed time of death, this man was instead diagnosed as being: three…months—pregnant?! And cursing on how “THE f*ck” it was even possible, internally. [But let’s leave that matter aside for the time being~]Flash forward four years, while taking his daughter to school, he squatted by the gates to buy some sesame seed buns. Gnawing on the pancake as he stood next to her, he pointed towards the Gong (Seme) professor, who returned from abroad, and said to his daughter: “Didn’t you want to know what your mother looked like? Well, they look exactly like him.”The little girl knitted her brows: “My mom looks like a man?!” Flash forward four years, while taking his daughter to school, he squatted by the gates to buy some sesame seed buns.

My Thoughts on Unmarried Dad
"Unmarried Dad" is a completed original web novel with an ongoing translation, and after diving in, I can definitely see why it's garnered such a range of opinions. It's a blend of comedy, drama, romance, and slice-of-life, all wrapped up in a yaoi package. While the overall rating sits at a decent 3.7/5, my experience was definitely a mixed bag, with some aspects really shining and others leaving me wanting more.
First Impressions
Initially, the premise intrigued me. A black-belly love interest, a charismatic but childish protagonist, childcare, and childhood friends? Sounded like a recipe for heartwarming fun with a touch of angst. And in some ways, it delivered. The comedic undertones are definitely there, and the "cute children" tag is accurate, but the execution felt uneven at times.
What Works Well
The biggest strength of "Unmarried Dad" lies in its protagonist, Tiantian. Yes, he's described as an airhead, even a bit "dumb," but his positive outlook and genuine love for his daughter are incredibly endearing. He faces the stigma of being an unmarried dad with a cheerful resilience that's hard not to admire. His interactions with his best friend are comedic gold, and his internal monologues are often hilarious, making him surprisingly relatable despite his eccentricities. The author did a good job of creating a character who, while flawed, is ultimately very likable. Some readers also really enjoyed the daughter's character, seeing her as a realistic portrayal of a smart and mischievous child. The family dynamics, for the most part, are supportive and heartwarming.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue, echoed by several other readers, is the way Tiantian is sometimes treated. While the teasing is often meant to be lighthearted, it occasionally veers into territory that feels disrespectful, even from his own daughter. This can make it difficult to fully enjoy the comedic aspects, as it sometimes feels like Tiantian's sacrifices and struggles are glossed over. Also, the male lead is cold and unapproachable, which some readers may not enjoy.

Final Verdict
"Unmarried Dad" is a flawed but ultimately enjoyable read, particularly if you're looking for something lighthearted and don't mind a protagonist who is a bit of an airhead. While the uneven character dynamics and occasional questionable jokes can be off-putting, Tiantian's endearing personality and the overall sweetness of the story make it a worthwhile experience. Just be prepared to suspend your disbelief and embrace the silliness.
