It's weird!
Maybe I'm used to toxic stories to the point that I didn't feel the warmth and emotion in this one! There's no action, no real strogle everything just went smoothly. I didn't feel that it was a story that suited me, even though it was almost perfect! Idk

Nah 100% same, I don’t think it’s necessarily because the lack of toxicity or angst. It feels kind of mean to say but I feel like it was just okay written, the characters don’t have much depth, they fall in love so quickly and out of nowhere (like you don’t really see them having enough pleasant interactions to warrant them falling in love so fast), I didn’t get that fun giddy feeling :(

There are so many toxic stories where the seme rapes/threatens/exploits the uke but they still ends up together and one fine day the seme realizes he's in love with uke and says "I love you" and the uke just accepts the seme with open arms. No repercussions at all!! This one at least shows how a person tries hard to not hurt the one he might be into and they fucking communicate.

Oh I agree with you 100% too, having toxic themes or angst in a story doesn’t make it automatically better. I just found that, like the original comment, the story just didn’t hit for me, they had struggles, yes, and they talked them out buts it’s like how I said the writing just felt flat…? The dialogue was so cheesy and the way events progressed felt very superficial (i can’t really word it well lol but it’s more like I didn’t feel WHY they fell for each other). But yeah it’s still an okay story don’t get me wrong I still read the whole thing lol
That hyeong is sus ⚆ _ ⚆
