Good plot but its hard to follow because the execution is so jumbled and rushed. Scenes blend together or just stop and switch out of nowhere, and characters are introduced and disappear implausibly. Overall its disheartening, since chapter 0 was actually done really well.
I'm not pissed that the Seme tricked the Uke, I'm pissed that the Uke is still falling for the Seme despite all the Seme's bullshit, just because of some tiny ass gestures. Sighhh, I still want to read it and see what happens though.
Soo, the seme and his family are kinda rapey. I tried to deal with it and everything because its not as explicit as other yaoi, but just because the uke's body is turned on doesn't make it okay when he's literally saying no in every other conceivable way, including trying to cut the seme (no means goddamn no, ass). And the Seme really is sorta a dick, despite the moments where we are supposed to like him. Seriously, separating the uke from the uke's blood brother AND family despite seeing the uke's heartbreak is...the seme's a dick.
Yeah, no depth and flat characters. This usually can be fine with smut, but its clear the author tried to incorporate story (with a whopping 24 chapters); the premise is done well enough, but the characters ruin it.
Also to make it worse, Naito (jealous friend) and Soji (Seme) are basically the same type of trash, except Soji actually gets away with abusing and raping the Uke. In fact, I'd even say Soji's worse on that scale, as at least Naito did his best to fucking restrain himself for years in fear of violating the Uke. It's really annoying, because the Seme (the full on rapist) gets both a pass and an APOLOGY from the Uke, whereas Naito is treated like scum. Don't get me wrong here either, they are both trash; treat them the fucking same.
Yeah, I gotta agree with you there. Soji should’ve said “hi I’m actually your long-lost childhood friend” to Makoto and everything would’ve been fine. But no.
Then Makoto gets raped over and over again, thinking this Soji guy is a stranger. HE. SAYS. NO. EVERY. TIME. and the first time, Assoji obviously heard him, BUT KEPT FUCKING GOING.
This easily could’ve been a lot better if Soji had been up front about his identity. It’s not Makoto’s fault he didn’t recognize you, people’s faces change a lot in a 10-year time span. And you were using a different name. How did you expect him to recognize you?!?!
0/100 stars would not recommend
I totally agree. Classic example of a trash yaoi with an abusive seme whose terrible actions are excused by the classic "omg u forgot me and left me behind ;-; poor me have pity </3 I'm the REAL victim here even though I raped you"
