I think this BL was really cute even if it was imperfect, with most of my problems stemming from the ending itself. I think my major gripe with the ending is that the story shouldn't have ended with this conflict. It was obvious from the start that Eunho was insecure about not being as rich/smart/accomplished as Dohyeon, and exploring that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just should have been explored in more depth and timed better. If that conflict had come up near the beginning of the sides and fleshed out better instead of all the smut chapters so it could have a more natural resolution, while ending the story with the beach chapter where Eunho finally confesses his love, the story would have likely had a more satisfying conclusion.
But as it is, it just feels like a rushed conflict and all the jealousy from both ends felt in poor taste bc it implies no growth or trust from either of them (and this is all without addressing Dohyeon's intense possessiveness that's literally toxic). Still a good story, but if these issues hadn't occurred, it probably would have been even better ╮(￣▽￣)╭
