I've finished it. I was also frustrated and unsure about the story, but I was really satisfied with the ending and the story as a whole. I was really surprised, but for me it turned out to be a fairly realistic and lovely story. I would recommend sticking with it.
But then I binged it from the point where the EN is at now, so that made it a lot easier to deal with.
This is becoming a dnf for me. I was all for it until the top was manipulative and the bottom was dumb and naive. Then when they finally sort out their issues and communicate, the mum comes in and throws her toys out the cot over two grown men doing grown men things and being in grown men relationships. I’m sick and tired of having every single chapter either be a sex scene that I can’t even say is fully satisfactory cause they were never properly communicating during it or it being a complete dumpster fire of problems coming from every which way. I want to finish this because the bottom has made me want to root for him and I have a soft spot for pitiful bottoms getting their happy ending but goddamn. This is unbearable. I never normally say bad things about authors way of writing a story but could the author not have given us a single arc of just peace and bliss before throwing us back into the dumpster fire? There’s nothing to hold on to and there’s nothing for us to really sink out teeth into and enjoy. I read a lot of yaoi and a lot of them aren’t good by any stretch of the imagination but I’ve only dnf 4 of them. If this continues in this way, this might have to be my 5th.
