I would think it's crazy to dnf a book at 63% but I would. I just can't torture myself anymore. Another booktok hyped book that didn't live up to my expectations. This book is mediocre at best. I didn't love the writing. It seems so fanfic-ish. It has potential, but the writing itself felt so off. I just couldn't enjoy it. THIS BOOK NEEDS A GOOD EDITOR! I am not an expert on grammar nor the english language but there is something so off with the way the sentences/lines are sometimes structured. Mostly it feels like I am merely just reading a group of words... there's just no emotion in it for me or atleast the author has failed to convey that to me. I don't wanna say it was a bad book, but it needs more work. It's like they mistakenly published the first draft without editing. I genuinely wonder how it got out of the publishing room! It just wasn't ready. Also, I don't usually have a problem with unoriginal plots or overused tropes as long as I enjoy it but even the "banters" on this one couldn't save it. I kept trying not to cringe! It also didn't help that both the main characters seems so one dimensional. I don't get the hype over Kai. Also the constant calling of "darling" was starting to give me an ick. Also Paedyn wasn't much better. They just fell flat to me overall. So add that to me not liking the writing style... I just didn't have much reason to go on. Also didn't help that the chapters are long. It's just exhausting. And again, it's not the worst book out there, but I just felt so bored halfway of it. I don't even care about what happens to any of them at this point. Couldn't connect to any of them.
