Review: Well written, but plot stolen

I have been relatively enjoying the series although I think the wordcraft is better than the authors ability to effectively emote. However I was rather dismayed to realize that I was reading almost blow by blow the plot of my favourite MM anime Junjou Romantica. I mean this wasnt just similar as plotlines are destined to be but almost exactly the same in character and circumstance.Dont get me wrong I have nothing against recycling a good plotline but this just seems lazy. I mean the author has invented an entirely different world, race, language and society but chose to rehash with very little creativity a tv show plotline which of course was probably a manga at some point.Honestly it is like having Dali try to recreate the sistine chapel. Its a cute thought experiment but it kinda cheapens your own creative ability. If you can create all that other stuff you really dont need to steal plotlines quite so blatantly. I mean everthing has been done so sure your story can be snippets of every story ever written. But I feel certain it was unecessary to copy it whole cloth.Or if this was some kind of homage you need to give credit.All in all.  Disappointing.
