and i know, i'm the first one to say: if you don't like it don't read it. and you are all right. i'm not saying that. Which is why i skipped all the chapters to see if things were going how i like them to go. Still, ofc poeple keep reading if it is shit. cause they emphatize with the mc. he is completely in a toxic relationship, unable to think straight. Even though the story hurts us, we are trying to keep that small string of hope that the story might change to something better, like uke running away, seeking help or seme understanding the fuck he did. we are humans delulu hoping for something shitty and interesting at first to become better in the future. but i guess, ch 40 isn't enough, and maybe it will never happen

so i left around chapter 20 or something, and now i just clicked chapter 40 thinking things might be different or at least uke understood the shit he is in.... but no
this story is all about one person being constantly tormented by multiple people with no plot or character development.
I'm in if characters redeem themeselves after being shitholes or if the plot goes on in some way, but here... it's just nothing... harada at least makes a plot and development for shit like these...
