It's unfortunate, but while the MS is passionate there's zero smut scenes. That's in the side stories and I had hoped that they would R19 the comic instead tho probably it's skipped everything in first time like that book's MS....
I own both, but am only midway through the second vol of side stories. They do indeed have smut in them though and it's really hot. Very plot driven though for both MS and sides. Was over 200 chapters in MS and sides are varied based on which volume. Second vol is like 500 + pages though first was like 200. ╥﹏╥
In the past he had a really a*usive partner/gr**mer and so he literally avoided it with everyone else, besides the original pos. Only sleeping with ML throughout story, tho ML leads him to believe he is basically a side deal until near end and he punished ML for that - finally having him go into a ptsd episode that lasted for a while. Happy Obsessive ML End though and side stories have the smut plus more back story/plot hole fillers that were left out of MS thankfully. So, one of the more masterpiece BL novel series I've seen. Regretful ML done properly too - super rare.

Lmao, probably for all the fake Relationships the ML gets into or makes MC "think" he's in.
I cheered when he punished the ML tbh, though definitely not the worst ML I've seen and eventually you get the feels for him. I actually felt sympathy for him after the Punishment arch. It's really slow burn though for actual Romance. Maybe last 20-40 chapters is where it shows real feelings between both of them. It's angsty...

It's smut free, so not yaoi and more shounen ai than that genre. It's slow burn - but MC and ML are clear throughout. ML leads MC to misunderstandings about his "relationships" but they're fairly loyal to each other in actuality. It's not clear to MC that ML loves him until the end and it was fade to black for all scenes up to the side stories. You would get some unclear summaries of loosely what happened or damage to his body while guiding in main story. Unfortunately.
WAIT AM I SEEING IT WRONG?? THE COVER IS SO GAY BUT IT'S NOT EVEN SHONEN AI???
