This is my first time writing a review for something on MAL but... this one was too infuriating for me to not write something about. As a BL lover I am always looking for a sweet read, unlike a lot of stuff that fills the genre. I came across Fools and thought I'd like it, them meeting when Jeongwoo was 16 was a interesting thing that I thought would be a big plot point when they'd meet again, 47 chapters in and unless I missed it there has been no reference between the characters about this and instead I ended up in 15 chapters ofthe main leads refusing to talk to each other. I get a little awkwardness arcs between characters in romance but holy shit this lasted way too long! Infuriating how for so long and in so many encounters these two just couldn't resolve things until it was abruptly done with. I'm used to manga this length to have them together by the halfway point, or at least some progression romance wise! Any progression made feels un-organic after the not-talking arc. After that arc I felt almost burnt out (since I usually read at a decent speed and try to binge stuff all at once) and made me eventually drop it seeing I had 32 chapters to go.. I feel like some people would like this story but the pacing and other more subjective factors has made this not for me and made me wish for more to be desired. Appartently there's a "remastered" version and a different "Fools: Original" that are both coming out, hopefully one have better pacing assuming they're for retelling the story but who knows. Thank you for reading my insanity rambling, give this a try if you'd like but if you start seeing the same issues I do probably don't bother pushing through to finish it xD
