i honestly feel that a lot of chinese manhuas progress like this in my opinion, not all of them for sure there’s some amazing ones out there. but i think the nature of the pacing tends to be choppy with shonen ai coming from china
It's bc of the censorship that makes it feel choppy. If you read danmeis, they're more complete and well-written. Before bl manhuas get released, they undergo very rigorous censorship bc china's homophobic as fck that's why the manhuas feel incomplete. That's why it's better to just read the novels sometimes instead. Though, it'll probably get harder in the future too considering that they're literally arresting bl novel writers.
I feel like the story though very cute, it's hard to follow. The translators did great work, not attacking them or anything, but more to the writer's flow. It literally went from the bttm realising his feelings and the top assuming the position of sponsor, to suddenly them being in a relationship (?), without a proper declaration. It also feels very choppy DESPITE its length. Maybe I'm also not used to reading chinese mangas since a lot of the jokes or references just fly past me. This is clearly my fault, but it just added to my lack of interest in the story. (and also, why do the chapters keep repeating im getting pissed off here).
