Reading Status:
I have heard of it but never tried to read it. I did watch the drama though. 

Thoughts:
I didn’t read the novel so I can’t say much about that. I watched the drama and from what I heard, the drama followed the novel quite closely. If you are someone who likes a light-hearted read and some gaming elements, you may like this. The romance is more of a school life fluffy type plus the leads are the popular types, for example the campus belle and the hottest guy.
I’m not trying to say that it’s bad, just that I personally don’t think that I will really read these kinds of stories.
