pyschosimp's manga / #psychological(3)

eread: hm i reread this bc i was confused why i rated this 4 stars the first time and i was still confused why i hadn't rated it 5 stars till i finished, i think I'm being quite hard on this story bc it def deserves 5 stars but a strong critique i have of this is the ending, it felt too sappy to me compared to the earlier dialogues, it almost felt like it became a diff genre for me in that sense, I also wished they addressed the age gap more because professor x teacher can always go wrong there. I am like nit picking tho bc overall ugh this was a rly good read and tbh i'm not changing the rating bc i wanna stay honest to my original reaction when i first read this a year ago. You can definitely agrue the transition from the whole drama -> romance was there, there was a transition, but it almost felt unnatural, the way he just accepted the younger brother, I feel like showing more guilt there due to age gap + him being his ex's brother would have done well, brother complex also almost dissipated too much, considering he lived his childhood and grew up w those ideas I would have wanted it to be more prevalent even if they were in a relationship, the jealousy at the end wasn't any different to jealousy that would have been form a possessive lover, I wanted his brother complex to show up more simply bc it's not relaisitc for his mindset to just change so quickly, it'd take healing

Wtf wtaf wtf wtf this was ssosososos wtaf. Idc if a story is toxic, in fact idc if there's rape bc as long as I don't feel the narration attempts to justify it, it's still supposed to be upsetting. But wtaf is this shit omg what's the point of writing sth like this if Ur not gonna have any sort of explanation behind the characters I fucking hate all these short stories who just piece together major events of sth big w no build up to them like ugh idk how to explain it U can't J give me an empty sandwich with bread that's also stale
