I see a lot of comments talking about the awkwardness…
I feel like they’re really out of sync in real life. When they show themselves together in their dreams they have great chemistry and seem to already know each other well. But, now that it’s happening in real life they don’t know how to act around each other, making it extremely awkward. This is probably due to how their relationship started off; as friendship. Hopefully, as the plot progresses and they get a better understanding of their romantic feelings towards each other that will get better.
I also noticed the strange gap between the judo match scene and the smut scene. It feels like a whole chapter is missing. Like where is the communication part?

I think readers are getting used to seeing characters being abused, raped, mistreated, etc and don’t know what to think anymore when they see normal. These characters are realistic. Their actions, emotions, thoughts, etc are understandable and are within a certain degree. They aren’t over exaggerated to create drama, or suspense, or to even be surprising. This is a realistic story with realistic characters. So, if you’re finding it boring, that’s why. Maybe try something else. I for one, found it to be refreshing and unique. You don’t see a lot of male leads communicate right away when they notice something amiss, especially in boy love stories. I wish we could see more like this.
Idk why but the ending feels incomplete to me. They end up being together and that’s just it. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
