aranara's manga / #Shounen Ai(6)

overall liked this a lot, very cute, and the conflict/drama was mostly interesting and well done, but some of it, mostly the parts with hajin saying he would make dokyung jealous on purpose, and push him away to test if he still loved him, really annoy me, i hate that behavior/trope bc it's super unhealthy and immature, but eh, it happens irl too; and also the way that everyone was super ambiguous with jaehyuk for like the entire story until the very end infuriated me. like there could still have been conflict to drive the story on if hajin and taehyun had been clear with that brat about absolutely anything, and not just let him run around unchecked and violent everywhere. anyway, decent story, cute couple, mostly good supporting characters, and i love hajin's parents so much.

i really loved this, the whole plot is really good, and i think it's really sweet and cute, and a stoic gangster who plays an mmo with a cute innocent college boy is a really adorable dynamic. i want to give it 5/5 but i have to retract one star bc of the confession chapter. the fact that there's almost a rape scene, and then they just talk for a few minutes and it's okay and then they have sex is just. bad writing. absolutely illogical, and they literally write both sides saying that if it had been too rough that the uke would have run away??? he was about to rape him how was that not too rough wtf. anyway i had a good time reading it before then, and it still ended nice, that just killed the vibe really bad.
