Lowkey.. I get what you mean. I think it mellowed out for me at the end and I didn’t think too much of it but I remember reading and kept asking myself “consent where!!!???” It was a little strange but nonetheless the art was WOO WEE
I’ve seen quite a lot of comments talk about how the novel is more descriptive when it came to the characters so I’m thinking maybe the art just didn’t quite relay that same effect for a lot of people like the art just didn’t come across as very emotional to me, both characters just had the same expression the entire time and it made it wayyy harder to understand anything going on with them development wise which when writing it can be easier to express complex characters and their thoughts and feelings. I’m debating trying it out bc I think it’s long but I’m tempted bc the story was gooddddd
I will probably get jumped for this but while I loved the story and it kept me constantly curious the romance between the two wasn’t there to me. I was excited bc it had plot and the comments made it seem like there was a lot of tension but I didn’t get any of that! Maybe it’s the autism but like it just seemed like the mc was forced into this relationship bro didn’t give any consent to 90% of the things involved and the top didn’t give much emotion except possessive and creepy while mc was lowkey confusing when it came to his his conflict. Everyone is saying mc was into the guy but idk I can’t pinpoint exactly where except for the two moments of him missing him and him crying and then them fucking. I guess I just could really feel the romance and tension that everyone was talking about which was disappointing T^T
