This Boy's love novel is set in year 2070, a futuristic-dystopian universe.
The story will begin with a dating simulator like novel, but will eventually reveal itself as the story progress. "From cocoon into a butterfly" (Similar to a movie called "Sinners"). Yep! Sinners but Korean... without any paranormal stuffs. LOL
The content includes: R-18+ activities (without being overly explicit), Substance use, Satirical commentary on the K-POP industry and Patriarchy, Symbolism, Use of profanity words.
All characters are fictional and created solely for this novel, as well as the entertainment companies. We do not intend to discredit the industry, but rather show the good and dark sides that K-POP artists have face during their career run.
Narration : 3rd person / 1st person mix
The narration of this novel is kind of a unique experiment, the narration dives deep into the protagonist's inner thoughts. Sometimes, when the scene shifts, it can feel almost artistic so if you're used to a more straightforward, slow-paced style, you might need a little adjustment.
The perspective too: the true narrator is actually a butterfly. Whenever the butterfly lands on someone, the story flows into that character's point of view. Most of the time, it stays with the protagonist (Woo Seokjin), but when something truly significant happens, it may rest on someone else. And when scenes change, the butterfly can fly away from the protagonist and drift into another place and time, and will eventually get back to him once again. It's meant to feel smooth, almost seamless.
For instance:A leaf flows past my body, and as it brushes my hair, black strands turn white. The flower field around me fades, reshaping into a street of concrete. Neon light beams down on the man's leather jacket…
Or it could happen more subtly, like when the protagonist walks through a door and steps into an entirely different place. Think of a smooth transition of a music video.
