Not bad! I liked the first season. Though they were “fake” for a majority of the time, their feelings were very much real. I like how the author didn’t drag out the misunderstanding (for too long anyway). Honestly pretty pure and wholesome so far. Great art. Story had it moments. Enjoyable read. 8/10

Omg i just really love this… i think it executes the friends to lovers trope SO WELL. like the anxieties the MC has about falling for his friend is so realistic. The unrequited love is also painfully well written! Very reflective of the typical gay experience imo. I loveee their communication and their honesty in telling each other their feelings. One moment thst particularly struck me was when the ML gets all down on himself, thinking he’s forcing the MC to love him bc he was straight before. BUT the MC immediately absolves those worries, and it just… warms my heart yk? The office setting cements itself within the story without being too overbearing, adding to the realism of the story. Loved the ending, and I think subplot with the MC’s stalker gets resolved quite nicely.
