Description
As the title suggests, my roommate is 185 centimeters tall and has just gotten out of the military; I am a shut-in and completely useless in combat. I wrote him into a story as a Strong Bottom, and without any restraint, I described various unspeakable acts between us—And I used numerous unspeakable methods to describe these acts many times. Now my roommate looks at me with an extremely strange expression. I sincerely seek solutions. Those who have good news to share, please don’t reply. Thank you! ————- Ning Wenru is a male danmei writer on Jiangjiang, who has always been secretly sneaking away to write while hiding from his roommates. One day, a burly ex-soldier moves into the dormitory. This new roommate’s name happens to be Pang Zaiyuan, exactly the same as the strong bottom in Ning Wenru’s pen! Paper can’t cover fire, and Pang Zaiyuan unexpectedly discovers the identically named danmei novel that Ning Wenru wrote… This text is light and humorous, with a compact plot, smooth writing, and an interesting story. After roommate Pang Zaiyuan discovers the danmei story with his name written by Ning Wenru, the development of Ning Wenru and roommate Pang Zaiyuan is greatly anticipated. It’s a delightful and enjoyable, worth-reading cute story.

My Thoughts on What if My Roommate Finds Out I Write Danmei?
Okay, let's dive into What if My Roommate Finds Out I Write Danmei?. The premise alone is enough to pique anyone's interest, right? The idea of a writer hiding their passion from their roommate, especially when that passion involves some steamy BL, sounds like a recipe for comedic gold and maybe a little bit of heart.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the potential for humor and the promise of a sweet romance. The tags like "naive protagonist" and "handsome male lead" definitely painted a picture of a lighthearted and fun read. I went in expecting a quirky slice-of-life with plenty of awkward and endearing moments.
What Works Well
The translation quality seems pretty solid, allowing the story to flow smoothly. There were parts of the novel that I genuinely enjoyed, especially the initial setup. The idea of a protagonist navigating the world of danmei writing while trying to keep it a secret from their roommate had a lot of potential. The story also promises a first love between the main characters which is a trope I often enjoy.
Areas of Concern
However, as I read on, I found myself struggling to stay invested. The writing started to feel a little…off. It leaned a bit too heavily into clichés, creating a sense of predictability that made it harder to get lost in the story. Some scenes felt unnecessarily dramatic and unrealistic, giving off a "corny fanfic" vibe that didn't quite land for me. The humor, which I was really hoping for, sometimes missed the mark. I also felt like the characters lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with them on a deeper level. The male lead, in particular, felt a bit underdeveloped, and I struggled to get a good sense of his personality.
Final Verdict
Ultimately, What if My Roommate Finds Out I Write Danmei? had a promising premise, but it didn't quite deliver on its potential for me. While the translation is decent and some parts are enjoyable, the writing style and character development left something to be desired. It might still be worth checking out if you're looking for a lighthearted and predictable read, but keep in mind that it might not be for everyone.
