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

Overall I personally like this novel. It was a little cliche, but in a way that I didn't mind too much. I liked the overall story, but some parts (like the emperor's palace) were stretched out to the point where I was sick of it. Also, the character of Ramuja was really confusing and even became annoying at times. He was hostile at the beginning, but then became this dumb bear in front of Aster later, which I disliked because I know he's smart and it's weird that Aster didn't really get that after over 100 chapters in. I also hate the way Irion is portrayed, as if his only thought is about kinky play or whatever. Still, ignoring those parts, the main character is great and I liked the story :)
