Nerd Project

by G jyeo

Por culpa de Andrew, acabé rompiendo con mi novia y tuve que irme de nuestra casa. Desesperado, me mudé a la residencia del campus y ¡ahora vivo con él! Para colmo, se piensa que soy un acosador... ¡Pero yo no soy gay!

This is one of the few instances where I’ve wished a story was longer. It just wasn’t enough 😭

3.5*

I rated 4.5 stars only bcs the finale seemed rushed and I wanted some chapters with them in the future, but the story was good, the characters realistic and the MCs were in love and fully consensual.

i loved nerd project sm and was so excited for every update and then SUDDENLY it ended. and that felt so abrupt, like it shouldn't have ended yet but suddenly had to for some reason. so that was really disappointing and the ending felt quite lacklustre because of that. is my only complaint.

Btw I'd genuinely give myself memory loss to re-read this book over and over again to experience it again and again

Overhyped
But I did not mind it

This was the most green flag manhwa I’ve read in a while. Luke and Andrew are absolutely the cutest and it’s feels realistic as hell. I love characters who know how to communicate and if they have misunderstandings they deal with it responsibly. Anyway this was super cute and I can’t wait to read it again whenever I need a pick me up

¡Me encantó! Sinceramente no tiene ningún capítulo malo, ni siquiera de relleno. El arte es bonito, la relación también, los personajes secundarios, la historia es buena, etc. Es que nunca te vas a aburrir leyendo esto. Aunque, debo decir que el problema no parece realmente un problena grave, sino un incoveniente de alguien molesto. Lo que si me hubiera gustado es ver al final un poco más de ellos en el futuro porque se siente un poco apresurado, pero de igual forma es lindo.

Why did Nerd Project by G Jyeo have me giggling like a teenage girl 😍

The story follows Luke Davis, a chaotic college dude who just got dumped by his girlfriend Stacy and guess what? It’s because of Andrew Young, the ultimate nerd-coded guy she was obsessed with.
Starts off as this kinda petty and impulsive (like… bro was literally stalking Andrew at first💀) BUT his development is satisfying. He grows into someone more emotionally aware, more respectful, and surprisingly soft. Total golden retriever energy.
Our ML is Andrew ‘Andy’ Young. At first he is cold, intimidating like “don’t talk to me” vibe but later we found he was emotionally complex, guarded, and lowkey traumatized. His growth is slower but deeper—he learns to trust, communicate, and open up.

Plot twist: Luke ends up sharing a dorm with Andrew and decides to make him his “project” (yes, bro literally said “let me study this man”). At first glance, it screams typical BL setup: hot “nerd” + messy popular guy + forced proximity. But it's more than what we expected.
From there it evolves from petty curiosity → emotional dependency → actual feelings. The pacing is kinda slice-of-life but sprinkled with drama and tension, especially with side characters like Malcolm, Bruno, Derek adding spice.

This manhwa is like sprinkles fuff and tension coz misunderstandings and internal conflict especially emotional damage from Andrew’s side. Surprisingly the communication in this manhwa is healthy for a BL. They actually TALK things out and the problem get solved.

Art style manhwa is chef’s kiss with visual appealing art. Luke and Andrew looks so beautiful 😘
Unfortunately, plot can feel a bit aimless at times. Some side characters feel a bit one-dimensional. Pacing in later chapters can drag slightly and the ending just felt kinda rushed to me.

Overall, it’s not perfect, but it’s super addictive and hits that sweet spot between romance and messy feelings. Definitely worth it if you love enemies-to-lovers, roommates with actual emotional payoff.

Está bueno, creo firmemente que Andrew no merece a Luke, pero qué se le va a hacer? Me gustó como se retrató está dependencia en la pareja cuando apenas se establece el vínculo, de igual manera retrata los conflictos de manera muy real, no es solo un malentendido porque no terminó de escuchar una frase importante como siempre pasa, sino que son problemas que se van desarrollando y puedes darte cuenta de lo que está pasando, Luke me pareció un personaje increíble, creo que podría estar entre mis favoritos.
Me parece que hay cosas que no se terminan de cerrar como la actitud rara de Andrew, que a veces parece alguien peligroso, pero en realidad no lo es? Que no se haya aclarando ese punto me deja una impresión de él que no es capaz de relacionarse con demás personas de tu entorno además de su pareja, lo cual no me parece sano, creo que incluso Luke lo menciona pero no se ahonda más adelante sobre ello. Al final se siente como si hubiera un desarrollo en la pareja, más no individualmente en los personajes, Andrew logra hacerse un poco más cercano a su compañero de laboratorio, pero hasta ahí, me hubiera gustado que tocara el tema de que se liberó de su pasado de manera más explícita y en cuanto a Luke, creo que sí hubo un poco más de desarrollo en él, sobre todo cuando aceptó que no le agradaba Bruno, pero de igual manera fue muy superficial, no puedo lograr sentirme cómoda con cómo inició su relación, y me hubiera gustado que se hablara entre ellos sobre eso. Finalmente me gusta muchísimo como la autora expresa las emociones en el dibujo, sobre todo las escenas en dónde ambos están en el cuarto en un ambiente íntimo, siento que son bastante genuinas, por ejemplo cuando Andrew se declara y Luke se emociona, siento que ese tipo de escenas son lo más destacable.

Mình tìm thấy một website tên Nerd Project và chỉ đăng về bộ này, mình kiểu “Wtf, nó có thật đấy à?”
Bỏ qua chuyện đó, truyện tranh này mình tìm theo booktok và mình cảm thấy nó khá oke để đọc.
Bộ này có nét vẽ siêu đẹp, khuôn mặt của Andrew điện ảnh kinh khủng, nhất là đôi mắt cứ hút mình vào, mình cảm giác bạn này đẹp như tạc tượng vậy, mỗi khung hình bạn này xuất hiện đều sáng bừng.
Cốt truyện bộ này khá nhạt, thực sự là như vậy. Mọi sự việc xảy ra cứ đều đều, không có bất cứ một cao trào nào cả. Nhưng cũng không phải điều quá tệ khi chúng ta tập trung nhiều hơn được vào vào mqh giữa Andrew và Luke.
Mình yêu cảnh cuối Andrew đứng ở cửa, hoa để sau lưng. Đẹp kì diệu đến mức mình không biết dùng từ gì để mô tả.
Nói chung bộ này rất nhẹ nhàng, tình cảm. Khá tiếc là có rất nhiều nhân vật xuất hiện nhưng vai trò của họ lại không quá nhiều. Kết hơi vội quá, mặc dù mình biết tác giả không định phát triển thêm nhưng mà trong 1 chap thì hơi gấp thật.
Cảnh hôn bộ này đỉnh kinh khủng 🌋🌋🌋
=======
Mình vừa đọc lại thì càng yêu nhân vật Andrew hơn nữa. Từ Ss1 sang ss2 nhan sắc a này được nâng cấp từ pro sang pro max, siêu cấp đẹp trai. Anh này có cặp mắt đẹp không điểm nào chê được, rồi mái tóc, ngoại hình, tất cả. Chắc để phân tích về sắc đẹp của Andrew phải viết quá số lượng chữ được cho phép trong khung review mất. Càng đọc càng thấy anh này tinh tế vô cùng, từ việc hôn, nắm tay, làm tình, xem phim,… không một hành động nào không yêu thương và khéo léo. Ôi mình yêu nhân vật này chết mất.

4.0 ★

To be super truthful, I expected a little more from this manhwa because so many people were hyping it up on twitter and tiktok, but then again... when should we ever really trust the people over there?

Despite not exactly meeting my expectations, I still found it really cute, and the art style... wow. They're basically a poster couple, and I haven't thought that since I read Under The Greenlight. The character designs were gorgeous. #drooling.

Ending was super bittersweet!

Una historia sencilla, pero linda. El conflicto es cotidiano pero interesante la forma en que se desarrolla. Contiene contenido +18 (100% consensuado).
Lo recomiendo, es una lectura tranquila y facil de disfrutar.

Un poquito de información sin spoiler: el personaje mejor construido a mi parecer fue Luke, es una persona con matices y profundidad.
En cuanto al malo de la historia, cumple bien su papel de hacerse odiar.
Y Andrew, bueno el es el motivo de las 4 estrellas, considero que se quedó en el cliché de interés romántico frío y devoto, no está mal, pero pudo ser mejor.

4.5 actually, i love them both and want more but like some other reviews said, finale was a tiny bit rushed. there were also some consent issues towards the start but it didn't really go anywhere so not too sure? [talking abt when luke was drunk and andrew was ABOUT 2 do more stuff cause luke js wouldn't let him go but then some1 walked in] i don't think it was the authors intention 2 do anything sinister tho... (i hope so)

The plot was okay… I didn’t understand it at times? I just wished the 2 characters waited it out before their first kiss 😭😭 maybe I’m just a fan of slow burn. The drawing style was 10/10 I loved it all.
