It bothers me, just a nitpick, that Shingun didn’t figure out Jake’s identity on his own. There were several conversations about Shingun trying to put them on similar levels information wise, showed multiple scenes with his informant contact, built up the hackers getting serious on his side, all for the revelation to be given to him. Like Jake’s identity just stares him in the face, it’s nothing HE does to figure it out. It’s all circumstance.
I like Shingun, I do, definitely one of my favorite BL MC’s, but… he doesn’t beat the typical damsel in distress allegations. He always needs saving in the end and he never even gets close to equal footing as Jake. This is just my one nitpick in the story. Doesn’t ruin it for me, just wish this one element could have been addressed or handled better.
