Like- at first I wanted to read this bc the cover obviously was BL, but just reading it through, I actually was more interested in the plot of their world versus the "couple" itself. I can't even sense a tinge of romance except the intimate moments when he "drinks" his blood. The romance part is probably gonna get there soon, but in some way, I kinda wished this wasn't BL???? If that makes sense

Yeah I get it lol! I think it's how the manga treats the relationships. For me, it doesn't really have that "BL lens" when it comes to its two main characters, so it's a nice change of pace. I don't really mind if it's a BL or not, I just hope the author replies on this writing style for developing the characters since it's really intriguing so far.
I honestly would've still love this if it wasn't BL at all. Strangely enough, if only it wasn't.
