The first 30 chapters (which are thankfully short) were a hard read, as the main character is black mailed, coerced, manipulated by the ML. HOWEVER the tone shifts and it becomes a comedy, you see how pathetic and submissive the ML is (in a good way!), and how much guilt he has (still to chapter 184) with how he acted, and how he is taking steps to being better (and he does a LOT of growth. But he's not perfect!)
There is a lot of communication between the two, and some really deep and insightful internal thoughts they have about themselves and what kind of relationship they are in. The author has taken the time to give them depth, to have them question, wonder, experiment and be curious about what turns them on, and what they both want from each other. Honestly, the fact that the ML is some dork/goober, who is flawed not only emotionally, mentally (big SIMP) but physically?! He seems to have a complex about taking off his shirt, and he's got ED. It's so refreshing that he's not some perfect character but has his own faults, that he acknowledges and tried to work on but also accepts that he is broken and he isn't something tidy.
Like I said, it seriously won me over. I hope others get past the 30+ first chapters and fall for these two like I have.
