If you like something gang related stuff, angsty, and subtle slow development that you need to carefully analyze to see each characters complex characteristics based on how they grow up within their environment — then it would be a good read.
As for TJ, he's typical ml who likes to "control" the mc in the subtle way to the point his fans also baby him lol that's how good his 'manipulation' tactic is even some of readers blinded by his doings towards the mc.
Tj is someone who has his own complexity, but overall his "love" towards ian is always based on power, dragged the mc in a gang and used his vulnerability, make the mc feel guilty about his scar, they didn't have clear relationship as tj still screw with so many women then will fuck the mc as his secret homosexual relationship (the gang is homophobic so he didn't want to be seen as gay) while the mc got insulted and mocked in a gang bc he's gay, put the mc to prison and make him in debt, still maintaining the heterosexual as he's hungry for power in a gang but still want mc as his secret boy.
Well, for me to know more about him, just read wet sand lol he's a man who put power first, mc second, but his fans baby him so much to the point he's popular but he's popular with fanon aka most of the time the fans talk about him as if he's the top that would burn the world for his uke and bc they love his status as a gang member and a man with tattoos lol..... When he's not like that.... At all

Yeah, but in my opinion most of tj Ian sex scenes always look like ian is dissociating and self harming himself and use it as coping mechanism (ian said it himself he used sex to forget the pain) while with jo they both enjoying it in a kind of sex is for sex way and ian looking more involved during, so I always see the chemistry with jo.
Ofc this isn't gonna be wet sand because the official tags already obvious, but fandom always love obsessive problematic leads. There's one, I dont remember the tilte, there's a complete manhwa with love triangle too (I haven't read it), and the second lead past lover (not the endgame) is black hair, abusive— recently I saw on twitter the korean fandom make a birthday event for him lol I mean they're free to do what they want, it's fictional character, but it's just annoying seeing people complaining directly to the author
I hope no mf would romanticize that second ml like the way those TJ fans romanticize him Lol, I mean glad that the author makes it obvious the pink punk is just second lead, he's handsome too yknow what fandom do with handsome bl MLs, if TJ not so handsome ahh can get fandom, he sure would.
