If ML had met another 1/1 Haram that reminded him more of his imaginary friend, not just a blond, he never would have went back to uke. Felt less like he genuinely loves uke and more like he slowly realized uke was the closest he was going to get to his fantasy. And since he loves his imaginary friend he must “love” the closest thing available. It’s too wrapped in delusion to feel genuine.
Just feels like they went back to the start. ML’s toxic mindset in the epilogue, testing uke’s affection by seeing how far he can push him during sex, doesn’t help. Unfortunately this story fell into the same pitfall as many other BL where sex takes precedence over story. Hence why even after the breakup they continued having sex, because heaven forbid we go more than 5 chapters in this psychological drama without a smut scene. I can see why some people might like this, but it just fell short and was unsatisfying for me.
