Webnovel Review: Online Dating Girlfriend Turn Into Brother! by 折杉

Title: Online Dating Girlfriend Turn Into Brother!
Author: 折杉
Chapters: 85 chapters + 2 extras
Publication: 2019
Summary from Novel Updates:

Online dating has risks, you need to be cautious when meeting!

Since receiving 99 roses, Lin Dongyang knew that this matter couldn’t be done well.

“Senior sister… I like you”

Lin Dongyang was so frightened that he was confessed affectionately by the junior brother who he had never met. The reason: He was also a man, but the other party didn’t know!

Since then, Lin Dongyang has brainwashed the junior brother every day, popularized ‘top ten dangers of online dating’, and instructed the junior brother to give priority to his studies and be the socialist successors! Don’t keep thinking about falling in love!

As a result, the other party not only sent 99 roses, but also sent a super expensive dress and a woman’s bag!!

You think it’s over? No! It’s just the beginning.

When the junior brother asked him to meet, Lin Dongyang’s palms were sweating and his blood pressure was soaring, so he almost fainted. As he was unable to hold up, he confessed: “Actually… I’m a man, I’m sorry…”

There was silence on the other side’s WeChat for five minutes. Five minutes later, there was a ‘ding-dong’, and the junior brother said: Come and meet ba, brother

Lin Dongyang, who was called brother, felt a burst of weakness. He secretly poked and thought: He won’t want to hammer me, right! Guilty conscience MAX.

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

The beginning took a little bit to get into just because I wasn't used to the writing style and the roommates' way of interacting with each other. After I got used to it, I enjoyed the book enough to stay up until 3am one night lol. 

Lin Dongyang and Qiao Yichen's almost antagonistic behavior towards each other as they started getting along was pretty entertaining. The amount of dog food that they fed everyone after they got together was insanely sweet. Gotta love couples who COMMUNICATE! 

I guess that's why I was wondering when the other shoe would drop as the foreshadowing kept on growing with each chapter. Like, it was too sweet at times that I couldn't help doubting that everything was going to turn out okay. and when it finally did, everything happened so fast. 

My main complaint is that the ending was very rushed. The climax and resolution happened so quickly. You didn't feel bittersweet for too long, which was nice, because Lin Dongyang doesn't deserve it!

But I'm sad that there were no extras about the side characters! I want to know what happened to Lin Dongyang's roommates and Qiao Yichen's friend and sister!
