So nice to finally have a story that shows a growing and somewhat healthy relationship. LI was already pretty happy with how they had the top genuinely try to leave because of how bad the bottom was. And although it was a little frustrating because it took the bottom so long to realise where he was going wrong, it truly made sense for his character as a spoiled/babied younger brother and it only made the pay off that more satisfying.
I was honestly really disappointed in the warehouse scene but wasn’t surprised as the rapey sex is so common now in the BL space (especially the eastern ones). I was however pleasantly surprised and extremely happy to see the acknowledgement of this behaviour being wrong and unacceptable without the bottom underlining it with some kind of fuck ass “but i was into it though” even though it was violent and unplanned/ this type of sex was never discussed (on and off I’m looking at you

They should have just made the girl homophobic or sm because the imprinting of her own trauma is doing too much, especially for a character we recently met and who genuinely doesn’t have a good sentiment with the community.
I get they need to address the elephant in the room of being gay in a small village, but there were so many other ways they could have done it. We don’t know this character enough to really care about whatever tf she had going on and I think because of this, her getting emotional fell flat.
Additionally the link between child neglect and being gay was very badly made, with that context it would have made more sense for her to be worried about the daughter growing up and facing challenges at school for having two dads causing her to have a stable home life but unstable social life (the opposite of her but still very harmful).
The way they link it to “otherness” is just so lazy and poorly executed.

Now why would you go and ruin a good thing like that, I get the angry sex appeal but offten it’s the result of shame after realising/resolving the issue. It should be “now shut up and let me fuck you” not “now I’m fucking you”, everyone is entitled to their own preference/ interpretation but ch 30 was just gross and uncomfortable
Did I miss a chapter or sm?
At the end of the episode before that she was brought up in the last panel!
