Still gonna say my two cents nonetheless.

The MC is insufferable. A fully grown adult with an (irrational) ideal romance of a homeschooled 12-year-old. Yeah sure different perspective yapyapyap, but you gotta be so far out in space to be THAT romantically delusional #-.-) not to mention his prejudice over the hookup culture, bestie pick a struggle (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

ML is likeable, to the point of sus. Yeah I loved him to the core and still feel like he deserves more than MC, but he's got some secrets he haven't revealed himself yet. MC's got so many unanswered valid questions (WHICH HALF WEREN'T EVEN VERBALIZED, LIKE? HELLO? BITCH JUST TALK?)

Anyway, despite all that's said, it was still enjoyable and worth the read, plus the art style??? Gurrrlllll shxt is just so fxcking crispy mmhhh mm *chef's kiss*

Loved it as much as I hated it, so I'll patiently wait for S2 and see how things unfold.

    People have different views on what they believe is the right way to have a relationship. You can’t blame someone for wanting to wait 100 days before having sex with someone ╥﹏╥

    Yep I know people have different perspectives (I mentioned it in my comment too) but I'd also beg to differ, it's actually for that reason why the blame falls to them.

    People build their own belief system, whether or not it's influenced by their environment, it would still be their own volition what they build.

    To have such an outdated (if not delusional) romantic perspective, MC must have been living in a basement binge-watching disney and avoiding social events for an entire decade, bc his circle of friends have modern and even realistic idea of common dating but MC's rose-colored glasses must've been glued too hard, and he might even glued it himself I fear.

    So yes, I believe his delusion are self-mitigated and I'll stand on this pedestal even if that means alone. Thanks for attending my TED talk.

    If you like hookup culture something is wrong with you. like actually. So many bad things happen as a result of hook up culture…ie diseases, unreturned feelings, in the case of heterosexual relationships pregnancy, abandonment, commitment issues, and even more. The MC is valid for wanting to at least date and be with a person before having sex immediately. Protect your goods and cherish them . lmao I never thought I’d be writing a comment like this, but this was actually mind boggling for you to say fr . We need more ppl like the MC in the real world if people like you exist lmao.

    Bold of you to assume that I like hookup culture, not once did I mention I like hookup culture, but neither do I hate it. I stand in neutral grounds as far hooking up is concerned.

    Firstly, the way you're this pointed with your opinion means you're also part of the problem when I said "prejudiced" perspective in the hookup culture. While I agree that most of what you said are true, they're not entirely the only definite truth. Yes, sex isn't to be taken lightly, but neither is it exclusively sacramental nowadays.

    The human body isn't as strong as one might think it is, we are all ironically susceptible to quite a lot of bodily needs, and to some, sex just happens to be one of those, and just because one dabble in the practice of platonic sex, doesn't mean they deserve to be viewed as if theirs menaces to society.

    But I digress, let me go back to the actual point. If you re-read my last comment, you'll understand my point was ROMANTIC PERSPECTIVE, and not sex nor hookup culture. Remember, MC's romantic perspective follows an irrationally strict rule with timed plans that MUST be followed, otherwise, he's THAT QUICK to ghost his romantic interests. To the point it's no longer falling under the gists of "preference" but rather a principial law, a personal one to boot, by that I mean he never FULLY disclose that he has this rule to his partners.

    It's irrational because:
    1. Mutual parties will need to invest time and mental availabilities only for the relationship to ultimately fail just because ONE of his personal requirements wasn't met.
    2. The way MC's quick to ghost/dump his partners in the process leaves a jarring amount of emotional damage to the victim, not to mention the damage to their self-esteems as well.
    3. He's unbendingly selfish, he thinks the world should compromise to follow his strict rules which is, on its own, is absurd.

    Also don't get me started with talks about STDs, I'm literally a volunteer in a charity for HIV/STD testings and quite literally educate people with its history, virility, prevention, and medical necessities (small ad, if you're from the Philippines, pls do consider donating to Love Yourself <3)

    My arguments not about it being exclusively sacramental. My whole issue with how you talk about hookup culture is morally grey. You issue with the mc ‘s ideology about love and you saying is delusional is obviously also flawed in itself and something you projected your own perspective on to. Because I see his wants and ideology on love is like the bare minimum….he dates guys and then finds out their sexually compatibility. Which is something a lot more people should do because sex makes or breaks it for most people. Bc another reason people end up cheating is because of being incompatible or unsatisfied with sex. Which is why I don’t think it’s an issue for mc to dump the guys he’s been with after finding out they aren’t especially compatible, especially with him essentially being a pillow princess lmao. Getting back to the hookup culture thing cuz that ties into this, idk what goes in your mind when we talk about hookup culture fr bc hookup culture is not platonic sex, I think that’s not the right wording that you wanna use. Because that alludes to the fact that feelings are involved. A lot of people where I’m personally at participate in human culture for bodily purposes as you said, but also like I said that’s not sustainable for either party involved. I’m not judging hookup culture in the sense of people being sexually liberated….yay for them. I’m talking about it in the sense that there are way more cons than benefits both physically, mentally, and emotionally. Things like sex shouldn’t be taken lightly cuz they’re series but hookup culture and sex currently have been decensiticzed and not gassed up to how big of a deal it actually is.

    I also don’t think the Mcs rule and time frame thing is irrational lmao. He’s getting to business and doing it in a scheduled/timely matter, because relationships take A LOT. So why would he stay with a guy forrever/ long to find out the dick weak….then he just waisted for fucking ever….instead of what the month or so he takes. It’s not like it’s a long time or anything….which is another thing that can be argued bc personality and mental connection clearly come in to play when you know your lover, not just things like sexual compatibility. But it’s obvious for HIM sexually compatibility outranks other stuff…as you’re seeing with him talking to his current bf and not being aware of how to navigate their bond outside of like sex. He’s not familiar with how to act or question or set boundaries with his boyfriend yet since they’re also a new relationship (does that make sense?)

    Also who the heck cares about his ex boyfriends? From what we’ve seen they’re all the stereotypical men who get themselves off using their tiny penises and don’t cater to him in return?! They ain’t shit!! Frankly I feel like men should be berated more when they have poor sex skills. They don’t satisfy their partners the way they should. None of his boyfriends should be portrayed as victims, that not the right terminology or word . Cuz also imagine how the MC feels and how the sex affects his self esteem because he’s essentially just being used for an orgasm without even getting his own lmao. That’s so crappy.

    Yea obvi he’s gonna want the world to go along with his rules. Everyone has rules for their selves and it differs from person to person. Him wanting to live or go about life a certain way is not selfish. His rules aren’t even strict fr, he’s literally just asking for a guy with a big dick, bc he has been with so many ex boyfriend who had small dicks (which mind you can still be used to have good sex. Unfortunately his boyfriends just suck ass at sex). And he also wants to actually have something with his boyfriend, he don’t just want a guy w a big d, he wants the relationship. Which is usually what every girl/guy/them would want. Sorry it’s seems far fetched to you? When it’s actually like the most basic wants for a relationship

    Sigh. Y'know, I'll sit this one down. I'm too old and too busy to be keeping tabs of replies. We clearly have clashing moral compasses and I honestly respect that.

    I can already feel you have the tendency to really get immersed into an argument, and love that for you.

    But I don't like how this entire banter is leaning towards getting heated and I hate being confrontational, as an ISFJ, I'll cut this entire script short. I'm standing down ^-^
