honestly, i truly commend this author for being REALISTIC. i dont think i've read a bl that deals with relationships and concepts like homosexuality as close to the real world as this one. of course, tragedy is not a requirement to be lgbt, but the way that this story deals with yuyang's (and the other characters') struggles as a gay man is very very real and very much appreciated in a genre where problematic plotlines and tropes are the norm. and the way the age gap is ADDRESSED! FINALLY! usually, age gaps are just depicted as a difference in experience in bl, but here u are goes so much further than this. BOTH parties involved in the age gap relationship realize the flaws that come with a relationship such as theirs, and it's just so refreshing. i hope zhong qiu jie and uncle pan can work everything out <3
