The first season felt very rushed to me, the relationship between the main couple felt mostly physical. It didn't feel like there was a connection there. I was surprised when they already got back together by chapter 9. I skipped most of the smut scenes from the first half of this bl. I wonder what the author was thinking, revealing vital information about the mc when it's nearing the end. It made it very difficult to relate to the mc (and even the ml) relatively.
In comparison, the second couple had more chemistry, more depth right from the very beginning. Their story was also more dramatic and more eventful. Even with the pacing. It's just...more fleshed out, more interesting over all...
Which is interesting when you look at it. Both of the couples are parallels of the other. I think that can be both the strength and weakness of this bl. It's a strength bc it was novel how those characters were intertwined with each other, but it's a weakness because they're so parallel that you can't help but compare them and then come to the conclusion that the first couple just pales next to the 2nd.
I would rate this 3.8/5. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't reread
