But the romance and story doesnt hold up.
Like for their romance to be convincing the author has to PROVE that the uke is a better fit for the seme. Or maybe even introducing a parallel world concept which would make their love story seem less “faulty”. Like you gotta convince me that they are the ENDGAME.
The main issues lies in the fact that eveything is TOO convenient for the uke, and he knows it, which is why hes a nervous wreck. Huge imposter syndrome on his side genuinely sets the relationship up for failure.
