we we're in the deserts thirsty hunting for water in these tags of old kinky yaoi...i get u mate
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd still say I like it, especially with how it ends with cute and somewhat wholesome vibes, but it's now a 3 star for sure because of the blackmail and bs going on for most of the chapters
It's one of those old tropes that's just irritating and boring to read at this point tbh
"He manipulated me and coerced me into a sexual relationship, but. . . How else would I have fallen in love with him?" and then the seme being like "yeah, I didn't really mean it and didn't think you'd fall for it, I'm not that bad cuz I never would have followed through on my threats, I just used your very real and well-founded anxiety about me ruining your life to manipulate you, dw about it."
I read this years ago and gave it five stars.
Crazy.
