Not a dumb rant at all! You've said a lot of the things I have to say for this book but was too lazy to write
Accidentally clicked post before I even finished writing the comment but anyways, you're an intellectual (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I really like how the seme was handled, since the whole "I'm straight, but i fell for you!" thing is getting tiresome. He was clearly stated to be bi, the uke had some biphobia that's rather common and in the end it wasn't treated as a bad thing. I like how there are drag queens, they are funny, but not ridiculed. The fact that he went out of his way to read a book, to know what was troubling his partner was very sweet.
I feel like if you're going to write yaoi or yuri, you should treat the characters as actual gay individuals, instead of "uwu cute guy with another guy". The reason why so many women enjoy yaoi is because there aren't oversexualized women, so when reading yaoi manga you should awknowledge that it's often oversexualized version of gay men. Nothing harmful in enjoying yaoi manga, even the trashy cheesey type, if you make sure not to project those expectations onto real people.
Anyway, sorry for this dumb rant, the manga is great, definitely recommend checking it out ( ◜‿◝ )♡
