no bc i finished the entire thing cuz comments kept saying it was good "wholesome" and stuff but i just wanted to read online game bls so i just finished it anyway but i agree with all your points i felt really bored during the recap since i was already not very invested and it felt really unnecessary and i Love introspection but it felt really shallow and didnt make me feel more towards the mafia guy. i did feel very uncomfortable during the confession like you said and right after all those recap chaps it just suddenly made me go Damn bro ur really gonna be like this
Okay, wtf im dropping this (i was around chapt 30) I was pretty intrigued at first cuz i like BL stories with Mafia dudes, and i also like trope of the main character having unrequited love, but the pacing got so weird all of a sudden. It took like 10 whole chapters to recontextualize the Mafia dudes pov, and it not only didnt need to be that long, but idt the story needed that whole pov at all?? We wouldve understood enough from a short monologue
But the final straw in all of this was how/when the MC suddenly confesses to the Mafia dude???? Like the Mafia dude became weird and scary and it didnt feel like him at all, and was basically S/Aing the mc??? And the drama of it literally felt so half-assed because the conflict couldve been so easily prevented by just making the MC restate or clarify what he meant. And even worse the Mafia dude literally couldve just not jumped on the MC like that in response?
I had high hopes for this, and i hate that their first kiss/ confession was the MC being forced on for literally no reason
It could also be shaky translations that made it a bit hard to get thru, but idrc cuz i understand translating and stuff is hard, so whateve.
Anyways lmk if it was a mistake to drop this, but by that part i was like hmmm nope
