Something about the quality of this plot in this specific story makes me grateful for no smut. I'm not a shounen ai reader myself, not into soft, "no-touch", fluff or whatever. This is the first time I appreciate that it won't have smut, though.
I feel like a smut scene would lower the value of this story to be clichéd and "just like every other bl/yaoi". Would I complain if it did happen? No, that's my cup of tea lol. But it would feel like the story would fall from it's pedestal.
Rn it's a very unique story to me, a story that I won't forget. It reminds me a lot of "A thousand cranes" bl but a much deeper, richer character portrayel.
I'd so appreciate at least one kiss scene when the kid is of age ( ̄∇ ̄") and them having a HEA




Both are crazy
