it really does pisses me off that yaoi authors just couldn't help themselves to make the seme just slightly a red flag. everything was so great, until we reach jigeon's pov. i was so immerse in the angst until we know that jigeon's reaction and all the stuff that happened with jiseok and mina were all fabricated by him. i genuinely can't tell if he's a sociopath or just stupidly in love for some times.
another criticism from me is i absolutely hate that the jigeon only refusing to pursue his feelings to wooseo bcs he knows wooseo likes his brother, not bcs they also have a huge age gap. im assuming wooseo is already 18 bcs he's preparing to go to college but it is weird regardless that a college graduate likes a high schooler. this is fiction ik, it just seems weird that they fail to mention this yk.
that being said, this story has a much much better plot structure than many other stories out there. and i have to appreciate despite all the manipulation, jigeon is still respectful and always wait for consent and the author did not let the seme get away with all his crimes. at least they reveal it and acknowledge what he did was fucking insane. some people think this is boring but i think the pace is very well done and we were able to understand the reasoning to a lot of the decision these characters made. and the character development is beautifully written.
