While I was reading at the start, around 20 chapters or so, I thought to myself, "Thank goodness! Another rare gem where the ml isn't an asshole." It's truly rare where they don't go straight to bed on the first chapter, or have an @hole top. Sometimes, reading bl feels like I'm combing through porn. There's nothing wrong with sex scenes at all, to have an abundance with them in a story nor even a mentally unwell and stereotypical ml or top. As someone taking psychology, it's a neat case study practice. But to have an oversaturation on this genre with so many stories of the same toxicity, abuse, and outright rape to be simply rebranded as romance?

That aside, I wasn't surprised with the twist. But I want to praiss the author for how well brought out the previous events were. It was gut-wrenching. That fucking brother should rot in the deepest chambers of hell. But what was interesting though was that it was the Ido, the seme, who was the firdt to remember and was fixing things. Then again, if it was our dear mc, he would absolutely leave him without a second thought. What I said in the first paragraph still stands, however. Would I see this as some kind of redemption? Yes. But well-brought up and done? Yes. I suppose I would liken it to some prisons in the world where instead of simply, there's also rehabilitation. If that makes any sense.
Anyway. This long ass rant is simply because I'm so gutted that it's not yet completed (ugh) so I have to wait and hence I'm writing a long ass essay here instead of reading my DSM5 *sighs* I have high expectations for the next chapters. Regardless, well done to the author so far
