i just found out dear door ended in 2023, which surprised me, it's still always on the recommended page, so i thought it was ongoing. i had actually started it a couple of years ago but forgot most of it. picked it back up around chapter 70, and from there, the story came back to me. i’ve always really liked sid’s character, so i was more drawn in by the side plots.
i gotta say though, i usually enjoy sex scenes in stories but for some reason, the ones in dear door didn’t do anything for me. even with couples i loved, like sid and metatron, i felt nothing while reading their scenes. like, the art is definitely expressive and super explicit, and i can tell the author is doing something unique in the way they draw those moments but i was just observing lol.
also, i never really connected with cain and the mc’s relationship. it was interesting, and key to the story but they didn't move me? i was way more into the side characters and couples, sid/metatron and others really carried the emotional core of the story for me. even the friends unrequited love. honestly, i think that’s what made the story so good: for me, the center wasn’t even the main couple, it was the story itself. and that was really strong.
i was rooting for this second couple but that was ass
