Engineer Cute Boy: Sunshine & Darkness Vol. 1: วิศวกรรณโยธา 1

by JittiRain, Tulip (translator)

I can’t sleep with the lights off due to my childhood trauma.
But all first-year students are required to LIVE IN THE DORMITORY!!!
Boohoo, the life of ‘Kunyukol’ is in trouble.
Will there be anyone who can sleep with the lights on all night?
Shortly after, I discover that the answer is… no.
I need to find a new roommate. And, fortunately, someone wants to switch roommates.
I become roommates with ‘Yotha,’ a civil engineering student.
Everyone says I’m the sunshine of the department.
And he’s the darkness everyone avoids.
How is my life as a first-year student going to be? I don’t even want to imagine.

some translation issues but fun story

Like a lot of translated Thai novels some things get lost in translation and others (like who is talking) can get messed up when the book is ported to English. I actually own several of these books by JittiRain and yes they made a BL series (Perfect 10 liners) after the 4 books about Arc and Arm then Yotha and Ear. It’s a fun story without some of the problematic representation of some Thai Yaoi novels. It’s still pretty “My Engineer” but nothing spicy in this part, just the slow realization of Mr Sunshine that he likes Mr Darkness. This is part 1 of a 2 book arc.

4.0⭐️
De aquí soy

Este es el tipo de mamadas que me alegran la vida JSJSJSJSJSJ

Me empecé el libro solo por curiosidad ya que en la serie todo pasaba muy rapido y muchas cosas no tenian sentido y efectivamente pude entender todo un poco más. Creo que gracias al libro le tome un poco más de aprecio a Yothan, entendi un poco más sus acciones y pude disfrutar más a la parejita porque el desarrollo de su relacion se explico más.

El libro fue muy rapido de leer pero claramente no fue perfecto, no le quito lo disfrutable.

สนุก และร่ำรวยอารมณ์ขัน เล่ม 1 นี้มีปมดราม่าเบา ๆ ให้หน่วงหัวใจเล่นนิดหน่อย แต่ด้วยความที่ตัวละครทุกตัวมีเสน่ห์ และตลก ช่วยผ่อนให้บรรยากาศเบาขึ้น สงสารเจ้ากรรณ และเข้าใจโยธา (แต่ก็แอบอยากหยิกโยธาให้เนื้อเขียว ข้อหามาทำให้คุณความสดใสมีน้ำตา)

Finally got to read the yothagun story from p10l. So cute, I could tell exactly where scenes from the show were pulled. Also it’s the first novel turn bl series that I’ve read. Can’t wait to start vol. 2.

The only issue with me was the translation, like what do you mean, it legit felt like I was reading literal translation, or else this would’ve been one of my fav read of this year.

(A sign for me to LEARN THAI)

I was hooked on this story! it's so cute and so wonderful that I didn't want to put it down! I hope it becomes a tv show like they did with Theory of love, 2gether, and vice versa!!

Worth a read

Easy to read, not overly complicated plot line, past trauma, getting Yorktown one another. Its cute and the show followed decently with the novel
