Review Detail of Dark_Chocolate_7076 in Gardenia of Blooming Desire (BL)

I think the world building is pretty interesting and seems pretty original. I had trouble reading the entire thing though because it was hard for me to find the characters believable. Like how Ramuja was so carefree in the beginning and nice to Aster, because even if Aster was nice to him, in reality no one in his situation could let go of their trauma from that kind of abuse so easily. There were lots of little cliches, such as the disdainful mother, Ramuja not wanting to pollute the master with filth, Ramuja's instant liking to Aster, etc. I tried skipping to the later chapters and also found other little cliches here and there. Honestly, I don't completely mind these cliches, and again, I think the world building and backstories seem pretty complex, but I wasn't interested/invested enough in the characters to find out what would happen.
