An MC with an actual personality that’s different from the typical assigned bottom personality. Seriously love him. He’s cold, has a very strong personality, and thinks very deeply. His thoughts are claustrophobic and he has a self-destructive personality that spells bad news—which is where the ML comes in. The ML is a bit typical, but the MC and their intense chemistry make up for it.
This one has a high rating, thankfully. I just think it can never be rated high enough to me—it’s my favorite comic of all time. So worth your time if you’re looking for a story with a plot that never gets boring. The historical aspect is gorgeous as you read and draws you to the characters even more. The MC has a lovely personality, but he is also someone who’s easily jealous and can at times be selfish—even bad. ML is also interesting and his POV is intoxicating.
The emotions in this are right at the surface, nearly bursting at the seams. You can feel the MC’s anxieties, his stress, his past that looms over everything. The MC has a weak constitution that’s common for bottoms in BL, but he fights against it tooth and nail for the sake of what he thinks is right and what he wants—which is the ML. The ML in this is interesting in that he’s typical in his demeanor, but the way he carries himself feels new. Drawn together helplessly.
