My Thoughts on What To Do When Hunger Strikes
Alright, let's dive into "What To Do When Hunger Strikes." This novel definitely seems to be making waves, and after looking at what people are saying, I've got some thoughts. It's categorized as adult, mature, romance, smut, and yaoi, so going in, you know what you're signing up for.
First Impressions
The initial consensus seems to be that plot isn't the main course here; it's all about the meat. Several readers pointed out that the story prioritizes explicit content, focusing on the dynamic between the characters in that arena. It's described as a reciprocated crush story between a black-bellied CEO and a "silly-goose" artist, but the moment feelings are revealed, the story apparently takes a very spicy turn.
What Works Well
For readers seeking a steamy, kink-filled read, "What To Do When Hunger Strikes" seems to deliver. The ML is portrayed as attentive and considerate, even within the BDSM dynamic. I saw several comments praising the ML for being mindful of the MC's boundaries and prioritizing his well-being, both physically and mentally. This is a major plus, as it avoids potentially problematic tropes. The consensual nature of their relationship appears to be a highlight for many. Also, despite the focus on smut, some appreciate the "dog-blooded" emotional development.
Areas of Concern
However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. I noticed concerns about the plot feeling secondary, with the narrative jumping between explicit scenes without much connective tissue. One reviewer mentioned the MC's intersexuality being introduced but seemingly left unresolved, which could be frustrating for readers seeking deeper exploration of that aspect. There were also some strong opinions against the portrayal of the intersex character, with one reviewer finding it unrealistic and even disturbing. This is a significant point to consider if you're sensitive to such portrayals.

Final Verdict
Ultimately, "What To Do When Hunger Strikes" appears to be a novel that knows its audience. If you're looking for a plot-heavy story, this might not be for you. But, if you're in the mood for a smut-focused BL with a caring ML and consensual BDSM elements, it could be worth checking out. Just be aware of the potential issues with the portrayal of the intersex character, as it seems to be a point of contention. Approach with caution, and remember to prioritize your own comfort levels.
