i kept waiting for it to get better. from a writing standpoint, this was a huge let down! it doesn’t discuss caesar as a person AT ALL. we don’t see his train of thought, only the extreme actions he does. there’s nothing elaborate about his past and exploring the trauma he faced, and also how it effects his outlook on life. i thought maybe we’d see it come up in any of the side stories?? but over and over it’s only caesar trampling over leewons livelihood and hurting him. this story was straight up only victim/abuser with no room for nuance, so i don’t understand how people think they suit each other

i want better for toxic romances because there’s a difference between making characters well developed and horrible to each other. but then there’s garbage like this where people think the good sex scenes make up for the lack of build up, romance, and characterization. yes it’s a yaoi!! but as a reader, people should be critical of it even if they found enjoyment in it
