This was really good. Was actually a long story despite only 23 or so chapters. The chapters were double or triple what they are in other stories I think. Seme (mc1) is such a green flag omg I love him. Thought I wouldn’t like it cuz it was in seme’s POV but idgaf. Didn’t even really care that mc1 and his friend tried to hook up. It was hot. (Emphasis on tried.) Also, should’ve seen it coming that mc1’s friend and mc2’s friend were in a contract as well. Idk why but I kept thinking of Dear, Door while reading this. Also, mc2’s friend is hot as all hell woah. Mc1 is hot af too. I kept going back and forth between liking and disliking how mc2 looked. It seemed like the art for him changed a couple times, mostly his hair. It was like they couldn’t pick a single color. Sometimes it was blue, sometimes it was purple. The shade of blue differed too. Mc2’s ex (previous contractor) is an absolute asshole. Forced him to sleep with other people and forced him to intake cum that he would vomit out bc it was too disgusting. Would handcuff him and blindfold him. Mc2 ran away (before the story) and then the ex kidnapped him in chapter 17 or 18. Thankfully, mc1 saved him. Also, there’s a plot hole. How did he get into college and get to know mc1’s friend if he didn’t have a name? Mc1 had to give him a name, which doesn’t make sense. Then everyone just immediately knew his name was Croque. Also, I hate that I loved the ex’s nickname for Croque “my butterfly”. Thought there’d be more smut in this since it was about an incubus and a human but I’m pleasantly surprised it wasn’t too much. If anything, it might’ve even seemed like too little. Well, that’s better than having mc1 be a toxic asshole and forcing himself on mc2. Way better to get less smut than to get shitty smut with no consent. First smut scene I read I was actually genuinely worried he would force himself onto mc2 so I was happy he didn’t. Once again, don’t know why I’m giving it four stars, but I am. Maybe it’s because I’ve read seriously, over-the-top (in a good way) amazing fics recently that these seem mediocre (that’s not the word I want to use bc they’re not bad but they’re not overwhelmingly amazing either) in comparison.
