This story was mostly smut so there wasn't much substance aside from them being a switch couple.
I'm mixed about this switch couple though. Yeah they switch but it's rooted in dominance over the other, rather than both embracing it. They're both just obsessed with being the top and giving the other pleasure through being the "male" of the relationship. This switch couple is still very heteronormative and feel backward in terms of bringing forward attention to switch couples.
It's clear they both perform well in either role, so the obvious solution is to simply switch back and forth and give each other their desired times to perform. But they don't because they're selfish.
Black hair is the one who was always lenient and stayed faking it because he feared losing his former straight boyfriend. On a glance it looks like he's the selfless one for holding it in for so long, but at the end of the day, he only resolved to that role because he was selfish and would do it so he can date the straight guy he crushed on. And once he learned that he can give his straight bf the booty pleasure, he immediately only wanted to be top.
Blond hair is a shit performer and only agreed to try the booty because in his mind, once he learns the proper techniques, he can be a proper top. His reasonings are selfish as well.
They're both selfish in their own way (with nuances ofc) which is why their switching just isn't as satisfying compared to couples who willingly choose to switch according to the occasion.
Something as little as "You topped last time, I top next time" and no argument afterward would have sufficed but even that they couldn't agree on and are still bickering and trying to overpower each other.
This released in 2022 so I'm shocked how heteronormative is. I fr thought this was released in the late 2000s based on how dumb these two viewed sex and positions (⊙…⊙)
I feel like if the story focused more on their communication and understanding on where each other are coming from, rather than just overpowering each other, this could've explored more into their pleasure points and thoroughly enjoyed each other. It is blond hair's first being a bottom and black hair's first being a top. If they'd both been a little more considerate of each other overall, they could have gone very far in terms of experimenting new things after 2 years of stale and bad sex.

Had to drop after ch2 because they kept going on about "you're a child" then boundaries immediately gone and the "child" starts eating his neck. The 2 year age difference isn't even that big an issue imo. Plus they're childhood friends, not like one was grooming the other. That's just their relationship, being close and comfortable. They made it weird for themselves when it didn't have to be and if it was supposed to be weird then it's bad that the younger one kept pushing boundaries and the older one just went along with it.
You can't be against a relationship with someone you see as a child then also be a pushover allowing them to be up in your personal space. It's an half-assed attempt to mediate the situation.
The younger one also has no facial expression. Typical yaoi top face ig. Boring.

The ending showing young Theo and kid Alois chilling together doesn't make sense. because this is a time loop. the only reason Theo went to save Alois is because future Theo told him and the only reason he met future Theo is because Alois made that wish, and the only reason Alois made that wish is because Theo kept rejecting him, and the only reason Theo kept rejecting him is because he didn't raise Alois, he had sent Alois away as a kid and they only met up as adults and he didn't want to 'trap' Alois, therefore kept rejecting him. The time loop ceases to work if the Theo and kid Alois had a good relationship growing up. Alois would know Theo is his savior and thus change his perception of the man. Because reminder, in the beginning Alois had no clue Theo was that man. Would he still have romantic feelings for Theo the same way if he viewed him as more of a fatherly/brotherly figure who saved him? idk. Therefore that ending makes no sense.

Another BL that has "ended" and coming out with side stories that don't be hitting like side stories istg side stories used to hit different. With that domestic life shit. Now it's just more angst, more miscommunications, more fights Define the relationship ended recently and them sides was all angst bruh. Not this too please I beg when it was the animal characteristics AU I was like, oop we getting something cute. But I jumped to conclusions too soon lol rip

Fr I hate when stories end the main plot BUT STILL KEEP GOING IN THE SIDE STORIES Like why end it there, just turn the sides into another season! Like I have a manhwa I "finished reading" I even kept up with the sides but soon enough THERE WAS SO MUCH SIDES ITS PRACTICALLY 2 MORE SEASONS OF THE STORY I havent checked it in so long, its been years since it "finished"- I'm pretty sure the sides already reached 50 SHORT chapters by now....
