It’s been a while since I’ve read fantasy BL, much less ones that focus on the plots than sex and romance. Holy crap, this was so good, I truly was able to sympathize with our MC because of the backstory and the current story going forward that the authors wrote.
You can tell that these writers truly care for the plot.
Like, they are really fleshing out our MC and the ML. Plus, their relationship got explored from unfriendly ‘acquaintances’ to friends and now perhaps something more.
The slow burn on this one was deserved because I believe our MC has never truly fell in love before yet. He was so young going through the adversaries.
I want to go in and give him a hug, saying that he shouldn’t feel guilty for surviving well. That he should talk more about his fallen comrades because if I was one of the family members of the fallen, I’d appreciate knowing that my relative/SO was still carrying their identity with them. And they instilled it in our MC. It’s like there’s a part of them in the MC, and that’s a really great gift.
He probably thinks he deserves to die because he was so young. He needs huge therapy sessions.
He’s so precious, both him and the ML. I love them both!!!
