I LET THIS MARINATE THE PERFECT AMOUNT, CAME BACK TO THE CHAPTER WHERE THEY STARTED DATING YESSSSSSS I absolutely adore this shit. in every single aspect. starts off quite crude, w tons of second hand embarassment, but SEME KNOWS HOW TO BE A SADIST. like no hitting and spanking, yay! and ENTIRELY just taking a kinda brat tamer appraoch (doesnt rlly match but whatever), and the WRITING, the MIRROR, the DACRYPHILIA, BRO KNOWS WHATS UPPPPP THIS AUTHOR DEVOURED W THE SEX I WAS SO SHOCKED AT EVERY NEW TROPE THAT WAS INTRODUCEDDDD, LIKE U LIKE THIS SHIT TOO?? ITS NOT JUST ME?? my fav portrayal of it so far in a manga i think! and then! the story started devloping, and the timeskips were so perfect that they cut out the extraneous materials while showing how they got comfortable with each other, and keeping the relation on a realistic timeline!! yes seme was fucked up for playing w uke's emotions, but the longing and begging and pining and crushing were perfect! no stone seme, bro was blushing and thinking and crying over, it felt like they were considering each other equals! and the "kind perfect uke" facade totally gets peeled back to reveal how much trauma there is back there, and it makes for a much more interest dimension to the "perfect but perverted x stone but perverted" trope (delicious in and of itself btw) that was introduced in the beginnig!! i adore this, and the idol setting only levels it up!! ok back w some posterity. after they get together, when dealing with the insecurities mc does kinda revert to streotypical uke weak characteristics, idk if its just a perspective thing but he doesnt talk much and most of it is abt his insecurity, i get that we need an arc to develop through the layers that got peeled back but this part is too in your face, and seme plays too much of an almost guardian role? for me to feel this... idk its too much, the beginning still stands strong and delish but it feels liek the author kidna lost grasp of the plot/delish flavor of the beginning, but overall this still is a 4.5?

idk surprisingly mid? i like mc when hes by himself, yeah he is pretty cool (if naive) with his determination/outlook and drive for his craft, but why does he totally transform w ml... ya ya 3 month honey moon phase, i get it, but srry its too much TT.TT Now the ml i like a bit more, even tho we didnt get much personality from him until like ch. 10, and tbh they were the most fun when they were fighting at the end ashkdgfkahfg. now who i did not like was that director, he was annoying asf but at least he brought some good reactions out of ml? id give it a 3.5, but yeah its pretty stereotypical uke characterization does not work for me, and i do recognize that part of this could be bc I havent read the prequel but idk im not rlly wanting to...

AH I LOVE THIS? this was so much fun! i love when semes fall first and watching the pining was super adorable, especially when compared to their original interactions! i especially like the mc's passion, and love for his fans, this is truly an IDOL bl (even if their blowing up was a bit underdeveloped but whatever but lol), this has a lot of tropes that i love and characters that are pookie to me!

hmmm its not bad just incredibly mid tbh. i like the very basic geenral sketch, but i feel like 'love" is too strong for whatever happened for uke, and seme fell just too fast? wish it was more developed, and tbh i think even w the chapter count it couldve happened, idk why it didnt. tbh im vv surprised because i love contradict, its one of my favs, so idk why this is so boring/mid for me
