I feel like stories like this always have potential but then the authors always lets their metaphorical boners get in the way of good story telling. There are so many parallels that you miss at first glance like how his attachment to rio might be because he misses his mother who looks and smells just like him. He's trying to recreate his family and he thinks this kind of 'love' (the sex that he's been conditioned to have) is appropriate because he grew up in an abusive household and has known nothing but grooming from his peers and people who were meant to protect him. The story also didn't make any sort of effort to paint the teacher as a bad person and most of his pained backstory was shoved into half a chapter. Not even addressing the fact that he associates happiness with violence. It's not really addressed whether this is a literal thought he has or whether he doesn't believe he deserves any sort of happiness but it really would've made this story 10 times better if these things were addressed, fleshed out and if the author-san thought of the plot on some paper and not while flicking their bean
