From the cover I thought the seme had a cat or smth. Was expecting more cats
Even with all the fetishes this had--bestiality, tentacles, milking nipples, caveman speak-- I didnt think forced pregnancy and birth would be among them...
Why the fuck did I read this
Personally, I really like the friendship as a friendship and wouldn't have minded that it stayed that way IF the story wasn't relying heavily on classic BL tropes especially in those last few chapters. Escpailly the takeout girlfriend.
The ending only felt abrupt to me because they were setting up a confession that never came. If the author never intended this to be a romance... I guess you could still argue it is, but because every romance story has a confession, not having one or at least an equivalent act becomes disqualifying...
Anyway. After centuries of romance coding everything, we've all been trained or hardwired to read romance into everything. It's why characters that dont remotely interest or genuinely despise each other get shipped. People are just like this.
Authors have to actively counterbalance tropes that are romantically coded to temper their readers expectations, not lean into them. At least half of us shouldn't be expecting a BL when it's a story about friendship. I prefer platonic relationships and think it's a shame that intimate male platonic relationships are so rare in stories of all mediums. I would've love this story if it was clearly about that.
But it wasn't. This was just bait ╥﹏╥
Overall the story was pretty sweet about found family and cats and all, but the dad actually putting his family millions in debt for the sake of cats (which are among the best hunters in the world) is infuriating.
And the way the cats treat Yukiharu, even towards the end, is just mean?? And selfish??? The poor kid
The plot had something sweet going but the cats man...
I thought I'd seen every stupid excuse under the sun but apparently not. This one takes the prize for most incomprehensibly stupid contrivance (￣∇￣")
I'm really close to dropping this. Items just shallow drama after shallow drama
it definitely is dragging, shame.
Theres kinda.... too much plot and the plot is bad...
I know exactly what I'm getting into and exactly what I'll be reading every like three chapters
Good stuff
