Enjoyable, but Not the Perfect BL Series
I gave the Battle of the Writers with 9/10 stars because in my opinion, this BL Series is good, did it job, but not to the perfection.
The series' sypnosis talks about a writer (Obun/Little Prince) being accused by another writer (Shan)'s fans of plagiarizing his work, but it is not the truth. The Battle of the Writers title, is not fitted to what really happened to this BL Series. Because to be honest, they did not fight because Shan himself know that Obun did not plagiarize his work. In the first few episodes, Obun and Ozone just clarified to Shan the side of Obun (Clarifying that he did not plagiarized).
That's the start of the story, but the plot revolves around a group of writers, working together to create the best and most legendary Boys Love Novel. Through their journey of writing that novel, Shan and Obun worked-out their relationship and tackled and found-out about their past. Furthermore, Ozone found-out that his editor/boss (Pie) is in love with him, which is an additional spice to the story.
Problems to the story arise, like Intouch trying to meddle between the relationship of Shan and Obun, because he likes Shan. Obun finding-out on what happened to his family in the past, which is correlated with the family of Shan. Pie wanting to avoid Ozone by assigning another editor for him. And in the latter part, since Obun is working on two novels; his own novel and the novel that the 5 of them are working on, he mistakenly uploaded the new chapter of his own novel to the novel that they are working on.
Yes, I agree that the story has many plot holes, but the main problem for me is the editing. Since there are many things that are happening in the story, such as the story that is happening in the main couple, the story that is happening in the novel that they are working on, the story of the side couples, and then the scenes wherein they are chatting in their group chat (But this is brilliant because we can see the difference between the real world and when they're talking in the group chat), the episodes look crowded. I wish that they lessen the MANY THINGS that are happening in each episodes. Avoid the many unnecessary things so that the viewers can understand it more.
The NC Scenes are not necessary, but I would like to highlight those, because they are all so good! They are all straight out of the p*rn sites, I must say. The actors did their best on each scene and it paid off very well.
Thankfully, the casts are great and they carried the script well. In totality, once again, it is not perfect. But I will recommend it to other watchers.
