Thlese two somehow manage to have Zero romantic chemistry. Ive def seen worse tops but these guys seem uniquely unable to list anything they actually like about their partners. In the first volume, mc decided to stay with ml out of guilt/daddy issues, and loneliness; and the story just put *way* more weight onto guilt. And then at the last minute he was apparently lonely, but had no examples of things he missed about ml. Then ml just liked mc cause he saved him one time, but mc has showed no other heroic inclinations since.
And the second volume just drew attention to the void, cause usually with a "denying ur fated mate in favor of current mate" trope, it usually ends with a "fuck fate, I CHOSE you" type beat, but that doesnt really land here does it?
