It's not a bad adaptation of a novel, and I liked it. Except for the art change. We went from distinguishable art to anonymous commercial art and it was such a downgrade.... From almost normal sized dicks to one gigantic rod, like every other manwha.... *sigh* it's almost like changed personalities too. I'm not happy with the change, but I'm happy with the story. I guess.

Was he... comparing both acts?

No he was comparing two sides even though brett likes it rough and he is masochist but difference come with safety or consent brett gives Hayden and those guys gave him traumatic experience that his body feel that how doing it with Hayden and those guys are totally two different things while he likes it that way . It's more like realisation

This could have been such a great vanilla story (romance-wise), but that psycho ruined the whole vibe... That specific conflict was absolutely unnecessary, there's a ton of cliche tropes author could have used *sigh* ... They were already using the miscommunication/ misinterpretation tropes.
Anyways, they as couple are green flags and so are their family and friends, and that's always good.
I liked it! Short and conclusive, I wish there was more... some steamy extra chapters or something ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
