I Just Wanted to Focus On My Studies, but Now I’m Trapped in a Love-Hate Triangle With a Tsundere Ojou-Sama and My Sadistic, Princelike Dorm Mate (Neither of Whom Are My Sister)

Alex Pierre is a college freshman with a broken heart. After a devastating breakup, she's decided to put romance on hold to focus on her studies, but that plain is tested when Yoshino Lexington pushes her way into Alex's life.

A beauty with an ugly personality, Yoshino is the daughter of the country's very wealthy finance minister. She hires Alex to be her companion at school, forcing her to wait on her hand and foot. Secretly, the two are smitten with each other, but their prides won't allow them to admit it.

Complicating matters is Alex's new dorm mate, Ibuki Carter, who has designs on Yoshino—and possibly on Alex. Behind Ibuki's princelike facade, she is a sadist at heart. Although Alex and Yoshino are aware of this, Ibuki is a master seductress, and she plays to their every weakness, often pitting one against the other.

This is the first story I've posted on Honeyfeed, and it's a bit different than the stories I usually write. I generally prefer to stay away from ecchi and many of its surrounding tropes. It will also be shorter, around five chapters or so. It is mostly ecchi, with some light philosophical elements towards the end of the story.

Much of the inspiration for this story came from reading a lot of yuri works while doing research for my other stories, some of which were tasteful, but many were not. I originally set out to write BL stories, but as a gay man, I had difficulty doing so. It often felt as if I were sharing too much of my personal life story, so I started writing yuri to explore queer themes at more of a distance.

It was also inspired by watching the old BBC special, I, Claudius.

Personally, I don't understand the appeal of tsundere characters, but I'm trying to improve my writing abilities, so I hope I was able to write a story that passes muster with fans of the genre.
