I did enjoy the plot but any time there was a problem it was just lots of sex. Sex doesn't solve problems so it started to be repetitive. I wanted to see their relationship blossom a bit more than just going to pound town. The art is good but I agree with some others saying that they look more expressionless the majority of the time.
I thought this was gonna be another debt, rich, toxic seme, little plot and only sex. Turns out it actually had more plot than I expected and had a lot of emotional and mental conflict between the characters. Like they actually tried to express how they feel and talked most things out. Of course that changes later cause gotta add in a bit of drama for misunderstandings. I expected the seme to be way more cruel based off the start but it was more like lashing out because of his past trauma. In this case they both helped each other get to a safe place and we got a happy ending.
Also his brother was like a jumpscare cause I thought he was gonna be some loan shark that wanted to kill Bae. Luckily he was just a supportive big brother (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 The subordinate with the weird obession was just a freak. And as for that sorry excuse for a father, he was such an entitled ass. Dude acted like he did everything and was owed anything he asked for. Surprised no loan shark ever got to killing him after all that time.
Nothing got resolved after all that xD Like it was going so fast tbe first 20 chapters then it slowed down. Once I realized how close to the last chapter I knew it was gonna be a rushed or open ending. There was so many ways it could have ended and none of them happened. Maybe the novel version has a better ending but I am too lazy to read all that to find out.
Ahhh I was not ready for this read today. I thought it was gonna be a light fluffy shounen ai school life read but it was much deeper than that. They were indeed cute bois and the romance was a slow burn. The power of words and the power of grief and loss can really impact anyone. They had each other to rely on and move on from the past in small steps (title ref. Lol). The characters felt very human and real, the thoughts are relatable to people who have felt the same way.
LITERALLY. I wasn’t expecting to BAWL my eyes out like bro
