Honestly same I always hate tropes like that but this was so different.. for me at least. Mainly because the seme was so respectful to him shushsdj
Same! Even though I like this manga, I always get annoyed at the trope that is used in tv shows as well when the side characters are like “what are you doing? Aren’t you going to fight for them? Go after them! Don’t give up!” When the mcs gotten rejected or something, it’s so weird they act like they’re in the wrong for respecting their wishes and trying to move on?? Then the mc goes after them and all of a sudden they actually liked them the whole time, but only now can they be together since they’ve proven their love - and I’m just like this makes no sense lol
Man I can never get into stories like this in the beginning it’s always one character doing whatever they want to get their way without ever considering the other person’s feelings. Tho it’s always treated as the correct thing to do because by the end of the story they have mutual feelings but it’s ended up like that because it was predetermined by the author!!!!
Idk I’m just not a fan of the “always be persistent and it will pay off with mutual feelings” trope/cliché
