Sp10 - 3 .5 - i liked the relationship of the characters - mostly - you need to be able to endure cry baby MC, and superior ML, if you’re fine with it, it’s ok
I’m really not fond of these representations of intimacy that seems one sided (if not forced), one cry the over selfishly does as he please : how can it be good ?
On a side note : what happened when hosik is drunk is explained very late in the story, and of course it’s not a story of someone being abused while unconscious. It can’t be said to be total consent, but it’s not as evil as we first feared - i cannot say i approved this approach, but it is certainly not impossible to understand in that context (basically how can you convince someone who’s scared of being in love with same sex party, in the end hosik id very dishonest and that certainly is an extreme and non sweet way of getting rid of obstacles)
Appart from this « cultural « representation, it’s a feel good slice of life full of fluff
I’m sad the last side story leaves a bitter taste, it’s very subtle writing would have deserved more of goodness to rebalance the overall feeling, even more knowing that the last impression is the deepest
I’d suggest publishers or new reader it to read it as a prologue instead :)
If you do so, feel free to read side 10 to 15 before all - there should be no major spoilers
