Not everything needs to be sexual or explicitly romantic. This story doesn’t focus on a romantic or sexual relationship and it’s okay. Romantic subtext is obviously present in the story, but the focus is different. The author never erased the queer elements and didn’t make the characters suddenly straight when this gained popularity, like some of you imply. Not every story needs constant sex scenes and rape. Look at this not as only a BL.
The authors are still doing the same plot over and over again. To me it looks like yaoi became a quick cash grab. Most stories that come out are just copies of old stuff or contain a shocking amount of brutal stuff like rape and abuse just to get any attention. All attention is positive for people like that.
I hate the brother, he’s the stereotypical shounen protagonist that is ignorant and sees the world in black and white.
