Youth(hyoming)
I couldn't get past chapter 3 for this one. Not only is the lead in an affair to start with, which he feels very conflicted over while his female partner seems to treat it and him like a game... The supposed romantic lead is creepily nasty. Like, casually using this information to blackmail a straight guy into dating him because the straight guy reminds him of his first boyfriend??!!! I felt so fucking sorry for the lead, like if I stopped reading it would stop getting worse for him. Tip for writers out there... Your leads romantic options should NOT feel like the rock and the hard place, at least ONE of them should be of comfort to your lead.
And just general life tips. Should you find yourself in this situation, leave the affair, (you're most likely being played with), and tell the person blackmailing you to do one... THIS IS NOT ROMANTIC... CHRIST why do people think this is romantic???
