SPOILERS BELOW FINISH READING THE STORY FIRST IF YOU HAVENT CUZ ITS PEAKKK I genuinely loved this series so much and I just want to talk about it in a very unstructured way. The premise of this story is honestly pretty simple but I just want to express how much I enjoyed it. At the time Im writing this Id say this is one of my favoriteif not my favoriteseries of all time BL or not to be fair most stuff I read/have been reading is BL anyway lmao. Quick little synopsis The story follows our MC Fanboy Kim who is a big fan of an actor named Star Park yes the names are very literal haha. The idea of Characterbots are introduced to us in the first chapter: they are basically people that act as a fictional character that you can talk to think Character AI except the person youre speaking to is actually a real person lmao. And so Fanboy makes a Twitter post requesting a Cbot for the character Kang Chan a character that Star played in a show called Sweet. Normally its just some random person that plays the role for the character but little did Fanboy know that Star would be the one to accept his request and end up being the one to act as his Cbot. Anyway the whole story is just really sweet and diabeticI genuinely adore them both so much ?. Their dynamic is so adorable and Star is just the perfect boyfriend. Theres not too much I can really talk about both because I dont remember due to my bad memory and just that the story is pretty straightforward but its honestly just something you have to experience for yourself because its just so cute and amazing. SPOILERS BELOW I wouldve added spoiler tags but the bullet points wouldnt have worked properly... Now of course as with every series I do have my small criticismsor should I say things that I wish were werent and were changedof the story. If there was more background on Stars family I think that wouldve been great. We did get to see his mom and his cousin when Star was at his play when he was younger and got inspired by his acting but nothing else from what I recall. There was no father figure discussed either but it mightve just been too irrelevant to mention. We did get to see Fanboys mom and sister W sibling but I also dont really recall much of their screen time. We also dont really get any discussions on he also doesnt have any father figure in the picture. This was basically the whole premise anyway so I never really wanted to say it out loud because it felt kinda mean and just very blunt but I did find it a bit weird how obsessed Fanboy was with Star moreso before they met and formed a connection. It seemed like every waking moment was dedicated to worshipping and fanboying his name is so fitting in these moments over Star even to the point where he was yapping about it all the time to his best friend Dongryo I actually love him by the way hes a W friendespecially for listening all the time and being supportiveand also very cute. I would never shame anyone for their interests even if they are actors and stuff but I just found his obsession a bit much at times Im so reluctant to use the word creepy just because Fanboy is so cute and I know he would never mean any harm ? maybe he does tho LMAO especially with that one time when he vowed to not join a chatroom exchanging photos of Star but once he was informed there were photos from a seminude album he immediately changed his mind ?. As his relationship with Star shifted from a parasocial one to a friendship then to a romantic relationship while he was still a fan of him it was in a much healthier way and it was coupled with his love for him for who he is as a person rather than the surfacelevel attraction he had merely toward his acting and appearance. I find it so sweet how Star was so accepting and understanding toward Fanboy throughout the entire duration of their relationship. Even when he was still getting to know Fanboy he never once was creeped or weirded out by his behavior even when he found out he was in a chatroom for exchanging possibly seminude photos of him ? I still find that crazy cuz is strange behavior that normal to him does he just care at all or does he just love Fanboy that much?. God I genuinely had to sit here and THINK to figure out what I had gripes about in this story just because I LOVED IT SO MUCHHH WAHHH But despite everything this is a 10/10 from me based on how I feel personally and subjectively not objectively. No series will ever be completely perfect and thats just a fact. However are they perfect in my heart? Yes.
