Tell me why I spent an entire day reading this from start to finish. Okay, so… here are my thoughts:
Their relationship is a heaping pile of doo-doo on fire. I’ve read hundreds of BL with batshit crazy men, but GURL… Ilay is absolutely mental. His attitude was hot and cold from day one, and his so-called “character development” sucked. In other series, you at least see the crazy characters gradually become better people. But Ilay? He literally treated him poorly the entire time, then suddenly apologizes once (bare minimum, mind you) and we’re supposed to believe it’s all sunshine and rainbows? Please.
Xinlu was batshit too, but at least he treated our MC well in comparison. He had that “sweet only to me” energy, and honestly? I’ll take that over whatever Ilay’s got going on.
And listen, Ilay is hot—don’t get me wrong—but he’s still an ass. He literally stole this man from under Xinlu. But then Tay… oh, Tay. He played himself. First, it’s all “no way in hell I’m bottoming” and then suddenly, “Well… if it’s Ilay, I guess.” Like, WHAT? Ilay is ten times more unhinged and you’re just like, “Yeah, that checks out. Let me hand him my booty on a silver platter.” Sir… you’re contradicting everything you stood for.
