Omg, I agree with you. I was so mad when the seme was making out with the friend when uke was already kidnapped and getting rape. It was so heartbreaking. I don't think that cheating since they were not an official yet, but i still don't like how it goes. I feel like it is more force of feeling. Like seme didn't show much that he like the uke. Even at the end, he is still feeling uncertain about uke and the contract but then all of a sudden he was like "you should already know how I feel bc I have a contact blahblahblah..." like the feeling is just not there, it feel more like using and just being nice. I think it would be better if the seme just save uke, and uke look for a new contract or they could be in a contract and never meet each other again. I mean, it seem to me like he got his wish.
I really liked the uke, and I was hoping the author would dive more into his identity crisis, and the way he feels about being a demon. He definitely deserves better than the psycho ex and the douchebag (I guess?!) current boyfriend (or housemate/fwb idk).
I didn’t like the seme at all, the only good thing he did was to save the uke, other than that meh.
All the sa/r@p3 was painful to watch and unnecessary, and it felt like the seme wasn’t really fazed by it in a way. Also, the fact that the seme did not change at all pains me, because I really think the uke deserves better than someone who doesn’t acknowledge the relationship, and has sex with someone else.
Yes, they weren’t in an official relationship and I get that some people do not consider that cheating, but for me it felt like cheating. I mean, from my point of view, if you have feelings for someone you won’t sleep with another person, but I guess I’m not as open minded as other people, and that’s fine, everyone has different boundaries and opinions.
So, in case you hate a cheating trope (or cheating while their not official, but quite far in the story), then maybe it won’t be a good idea to read this (or just skip ch 15).
