Nerd Project

Description

Luke is having a rough time in college, and his breakup with his girlfriend Stacy is not helping. This is all because of that nerdy stud, Andrew! If only Stacy didn’t obsess over Andrew’s dorky charms, then Luke wouldn’t have had to break their relationship off! To make matters worse, Luke is then forced to live in the same dorm room as Andrew! But with nowhere else to go and no money to his name, Luke resolves to make it his project to befriend Andrew, whether the nerd likes it or not! (Source: Tapas)

There was so much sexual tension that was built up over season one that I totally disregarded how WILD the anatomy depicted is. Bless fiction, I guess.

Tried

Read up to ch.22 and nope, not for me. This is the second time I tried to get through this but the ML puts me off big time. At first he is violent to the MC , then he's pushy because he likes him (also pet peeve: when a character keeps saying the person they're attracted to are an idiot, what are you, 12?). I get the sad backstory but it's cliche af and it doesn't erase his behavior. The art is gorgeous though. Dropped.

[Bottom Enjoyment List]

Rating: N/A

have read till ch43. there are some waits the first time and when the uke asks to stop they do. drunk advances are (almost entirely but not completely) rejected. they have a very sweet dynamic and everyone is enjoying the sex theyre having. i feel like as it continues and there is more smut it will definitely be a top tier on this list.

the top is violent towards the bottom prior to any romantic or platonic relationship

First off, I know we forgive and forget.. but my baby Luke 😭. ANNNYYWAYYSS I love this manwha, the writing, the art, the characters dynamic, everything I ever DREAMED of, it’s beautiful really ☺️. I love the little slow burn I was for sure it was gonna get freaky real fast but it didn’t. Everything was just right, you really don’t even notice, it’s all made amazing.

Luke might be just a lil dim

by CCheshire

Rating: N/A

I feel like it started fine but as the story progresses it's just because over the top like one moment we're talking to his GF and then like he is storming out because he decided to break up in a few days. Like a few strange moments are acceptable but it's really pulling too hard on the coincidences card and it's hard to take it seriously unless it's a romcom.

Also, about their meeting in the dorms:

Did Luke just get assaulted by Andrew and just no one cared? I mean, that's enough to kick anyone out of school forget roommates. It doesn't make sense why he would risk it again and it looks bad enough since this is going to be about their future relationship. RIP.

Great sexual tension

Season 2 update: I live for this webtoon.

The art is fantastic and you really get immersed in their interactions. I like that we are given the thoughts of the ML from his point of view.

The sexual tension and escalation of feelings just from them kissing and making out is waaaaaay hotter than jumping into something more explicit. The burn is good and you don't have to wait forever before it starts.
