Cindercole: A Yaoi Story
"Sorry for the spoiler to those just reading reviews to see if this is worth your time. I honestly thought this book was cringey with the whole Cindercole thing but I continued reading because it was interesting in an awkward way. I eventually got passed the cringe and got really into it. I liked how there was a wide spectrum (for me at least) of lgbtq+ members. As well as the differing the level of acceptance, parents had towards their transgender kids. I also liked how you showed the different ways Jake and Katie turned out even though they experienced the same trauma. As well as showing us their thought process. I liked the first intimate scene between Catalyst and Cole as I believe it was more realistic that he wouldn't be ready for sex yet especially with the gender dysphoria he would be going through as he's still transitioning. Also for me I think their relationship developed too quickly between when they were about to start dating to a week or 2 at most into dating. It felt like I missed chapters about the development phase of their relationship and so it felt disjointed when I saw how intimate they were. Btw I liked the first intro to the art gallery best as Catalyst participated in the meeting by Cole's side and was even given his part. So I think the Thai food convo scene should come first and lead into that. I also think though the woods scene was hot, it was weird for 2 reasons: One would Catalyst as a Transgender man be comfortable with Cole touching there Two Cole's confession about cutting to me felt abrupt as there was no foreshadowing leading to it nor any subtle hints. At times Cole's character felt disjointed. Especially in the chapter where Henry caught him wearing a dress. His character seemed more like the type to be more sassy than meek infront of Henry then upset behind clothes doors. Also him following Henry and not talking to Catalyst seems to draw away from the do whatever he wants despite the consequences character you portrayed him as. Could you describe Catalyst more as I believe he isn't described as much as Cole or at all. The only descriptions I recall seeing was Cole calling him the hottest guy in school and the frequent mention of the many people liking him.. In the first real encounter between Catalyst and Cole, were you describing the offender or Catalyst because that was very confusing for me. I also think Henry's character sends a lot of mixed signals or is that intentional? At one point he seemed to start heading in the right direction if not changing for the better but then ends up staying the same or being worse. On a side note, I think it's a little unrealistically for Cole to drop his smoking habit that he picked up to destress about his mom and everything wrong in his life for someone he just met as well as how in 8 days he stopped having cravings. Oh I also liked how the different internalizing for the transgender characters was brought across. How Katie was doubting and her thought process versus Catalyst hating for not having the parts she so badly wanting and how it affected his thoughts about his relationship with Cole. It really showed (for me at least) that each person transitioning goes though some different or same things and each of their journeys are unique. You also brought across a prominent issue like using the wrong pronouns and dead names and how it affect the person in question as they all have their own struggles even without that. Oh it was kinda hard for me to follow for the side characters as sometime it switched between their current name and their dead name. In conclusion I believe this has a lot of potential if done right ( I kinda feel like this sounds cocky but I'm not trying to be) I also want to apologize if I sound like a know it all so feel free to ignore me. Finally... I'm a cisgender female so there were some things I couldn't relate to or were confused about. How is Catalyst comfortable with showing his body to Cole when he himself wasn't comfortable in his own body yet especially before his surgeries? Also is it actually possible for a cisgender gay man to be attracted to a Transgender man especially when he doesn't have the standard parts. I'm genuinely curious and don't mean to come off as rude if I did. I look forward to future chapters"
It's pretty good
"Honestly it's pretty good other than what I assume to be notes to either yourself or a co-author. I don't know and they don't bother me, it's just nice seeing that someone else does that."
I love this story
"I loved the story itself, but the author needs to edit out the grammatical errors and the authors notes."
😂😂😂
"I'm delighted to read this book. It was so funny yes 'funny' specially at the time of revelation of preferences. If it's in humor genre I'll say-Awesome. There's still a lot of hardwork the author has to put in to master writing skills. The story wasn't really in flow it was changing phases so much like slow in start then fast fast fast and then slow. The plot was good but could have been made more better with some more 'drama' clean drama tho. Specifically this piece comes out as a short story not a novel. There weren't many limitations and goals of protagonist to keep someone thrilled. It was fun reading it like a fanfic piece but not something beyond it. Nevertheless it was a good one timer."
