Initially both MC and ML grated on me, and I found the expressions a little stiff. Plot is also somewhat predictable. However, I liked the vulnerability and insecurity which was well portrayed by Sawol who always felt alone and defensive. ML's character was a gangster and this was not softened by the killings shown. However, he was SO in love and protective of his uke. The last few chapters was emotionally well done. 4/5 for me,

It started off ok then the sleep SA at C8 left me feeling so ick. I mean, I know seme has trauma issues and he is a cute softie but he is also so emotionally manipulative. MC is ok but wayyyy too forgiving of seme and also his best buddy who is also quite trashy. So whilst this had its good moments, the sus and bad ones and the constant angry/upset sex didnt do it for me.
Rivals to lovers can be pretty cliche, but seme's reaction when the game was up with uke, wow, he blew me away with his rationale maturity. That made this plot and storyline different, loved it! Also their chemistry, sexual and otherwise, is so dem good. I hope this gets more volumes.
