He's obviously kind of cruel and cold, but what I'm wondering about is why it works for me here, when I dropped other stories for similar things?
I genuinely like both of the characters and find their dynamic really interesting. On the surface, nerd uke x mean popular seme in a highschool setting is the most generic shit ever, yet even though I read it years ago, the story still stuck in my head! I read so much shit on here, forget half of it even if the story is finished or updates every week, yet this one! This one stuck precisely! What's the secret ingredient that makes this so good?!!!??
Maybe it's how the author captured the inner thoughts of the mc? He didn't just have a crush, he had that pining love that he didn't ever even think to fullfil. It makes you kind of relate to the seme, because it IS fun to watch him struggle with those feelings. That's why people read angst and whump. And while he is a bit cold, it doesn't feel like it comes from disliking or being angry with mc, more out of curiosity of how he'll act. Idk but this is really fun
