Regarding the first couple: this started out soooo well and I loved the build up of angst, but then the issue got resolved kinda quickly imo. It's great they found a way to wait with the BDSM stuff and still leave space for feelings outside of D/S, but the resolution seemed a bit rushed. The backstories of both the characters are still very interesting and add a lot of depth to both themselves, and the relationship dynamic. It feels believable and you root for their relationship to work out. The intense feelings the ML experiences towards the MC feel almost visceral, and that was super hot lol.
Also, rules, safe words and consent in BDSM in BL?!! Yes, pleaseeee (the bar is so low in BL, sigh)
The second couple felt even more exciting at first, just to be sorta anti climactic down the line. I guess there's just too much action/drama that happened and this bores me to death. Their first sex scene was also very boring considering the second ML had so much pent up lust for the MC. It was just meh. Also, we know too little about the ML, he lacks depth and seems a bit unfinished as a character, contrary to the MC.
Overall, the art style and how it conveys the intense feelings is marvelous, and the writing is great. I wish some stuff got resolved differently, but those are minor points. Rarely do I feel so immersed in a BL story, and this was a masterpiece.
