Topsy-Turvy
the actual mc is like the most stereotypical ultra twink bottom. the first part of the story is actually the side couple but they were really mostly aight, it's a weird whodunnit from the comments: Let me do you a big favour. The dogshit love triangle ark with the uninteresting Norman starts at about chaper 30 until chapter 80 when the main characters story resumes. IT'S ACTUALLY FROM 83. i had to put up with 3 chapters of crap from 80, 83-108
Flip the script
feel super bad for the uke, he has no one in his life. but i don't get it. why not just tell his grandfather he's not interested in taking over? even if he somehow had to pretend to be gay, surely there must have been a way for his ways to get out with a slew of nobodies? little details like that take me out of the story sometimes bc it just seems like things need to play out a certain way to maximize the feeling of trauma for a character.
