**dissertation below!! i know this is BL yall i just like literary analysis!!*
everyone is loving this i just…dont. not even because the plot or anything but i just dont have buy in. it doesnt even seem like for a second it wouldnt work out. it feels like there are no real stakes…ive seen this whole “long distance university” plot done well, but it’s so often done poorly. and i think it is, unfortunately, an example of that. everything is too fast!!! i know we have to basically cover a whole year in this but this conflict was brought up almost halfway through the volume. i dont feel the impact of rui wanting to go to france cause we
1. just learned he wants to do design
2. just learned about his grandmother
3. didnt even see rui contemplating prior to him revealing it
it felt like the author needed a conflict to lean on and chose something that is difficult to execute even with a full five or six chapters, yet alone two or three. i mean, i flinched when they were going around saying their colleges because it legitimately came out of nowhere. yes there was a little scene with the career planning for yuujiro and the ominous ending of that chapter, but the second chapter completely failed to pick back up on that so i genuinely just forgot about it.
the story isnt necessarily b a d because the characters and their chemistry is great. i just think it couldve been better if there was an attempt at audience buy in where we knew these interests beforehand and saw rui occasionally thinking about design school in france even just in passing. but they did not write that, so the plot line feels flat and rushed. especially compared to the pacing from the first volume (which was SO well done). maybe that set my standards too high for this author and i blame myself for that, but i wish this entire story felt more…worthwhile? i feel like the first two chapters could be dumped and the conflict could stretch out from the first chapter to the penultimate or ultimate chapter and have so much more development.
i know ive written an essay, but i had such high hopes. i even enjoyed the first two/three chapters a lot!!! i wish the author would have chosen a different conflict or wouldve a c t u a l l y dedicated the whole volume to the conflict instead of it coming out of left field. oh i also especially hate that dinner scene—yuujiro is an overthinker, yeah, but he had no reason to be so cruel. like did you really NEVER consider that his family would make those kinds of comments?? especially knowing you havent told them anything about your relationship? even your parents dont know, yuujiro, so it’s notnlike a rejection. im just so sad…really wanted to like this but instead my disappointment pushed me to write a dissertation :(

i want to keep enjoying this so so bad but seokjun is such an ass it feels like worms are eating away at my brain each time the wimp of a top gives in!!! PUT UP A REAL FIGHT!!! MAKE THAT MAN SHUT UP!!!! yeah this is freaky but the freak limits are so vast…you could shut that man up i know you could…

idk maybe it’s just me but…ive been reading this for so long…it really feel like it’s been going on without a real direction/plan for a long time now. at this point i just want agia to kill vampire ken and vernicke kinda tired of throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks…
im obsessed with vampires but this is like my least favorite vampire story ive read in a loooong time

stop saying the bsdm is going to “taint” lyle and shit…that’s mad weird guys this grown ass 30 yo man w a past of fucking countless omegas isnt this young virginal ingénue…plus hey new flash real people enjoy bdsm that doesn’t “taint” them as a human lmao
i do wish it didnt feel forceful on ash’s part but lyle also needs to speak up for himself more in the relationship (though i completely understand the anxiety). i just wish it seemed like they have been in a relationship for how long it’s claimed—rn it feels like lyle acts as if theyre a brand new couple only a month in…

guys i just want to see comments about literally anything else in this fucking manga!!!! every single comment is about “incest” all of yall’s opinions are not necessary when it’s saying the same thing—that’s what the like comment button is for. please can we talk about anything else in this fucking mang

yall in the comments saying this shit about “slut seme” and “innocent virgin uke” are like actually insane. like i know this is fictional but do yall say the same shit to people who have had multiple sex partners in real life when they get with a virgin?? abstinence only education has killed our youth cause what the fuck is this mindset dawg?? THEY WEREN’T EVEN TOGETHER so it’s not even like a cheating this omg yall SUCK!! i hope yall are lucky enough to stay virgins and only get with a virgin cause otherwise youre going to have a very rude awakening. also jfc stop blaming ouga for getting literally assaulted by the tutor he was a CHILD in middle school!!!! omg i hate some of yall…

used to love this and i honestly dont really care about the whole he didn’t apologize enough trope because im used to it. what irks me about this so much was the BLATANT stupidity in their fucking miscommunication especially on itonaga’s part like dude YOU have the upper hand in this relationship, you are the one sanada has to please based on his previous actions. like open your fucking mouth and tell him you dont want him being friend with your previous bully!! tell him you dont want him to be in contact with that man!! lord it’s one thing to be possessive it’s another to not want your partner to be friends with someone who quite literally hates you for existing…

YOU ALL SAW THE DAMN COVER!!! stop leaving pointless “what is this furry shit” comments!! have some personal responsibility for not perceiving the image on the cover oh my god
