I feel like in the original they did such a good job of showing the couples relationship, in some bl they just have the characters have sex as a way to build their relationship. Sometimes i’ll read a story and i would think, why do they even like each other? they have nothing in common and just have sex. The OG story showed them going out on dates and talking and I can actually see how they fell or each other bc they established a great foundation, but this sequel… just kinda shat on all of that. Like they are fighting over petty things for no reason, and really seem so disconnected from the og writing, personally i just think that the author wanted to write a sequel and continue the story more but couldn’t figure out how to get the plot going so they kinda had to retcon previous characterization to get that and just almost create a new couple
