why is this highkey better than the prequel lol

putting my thoughts so far here bc why not: Wow this is honestly miles better than the prequel. I really love the relationship conflict, and how the author doesn’t portray the relationship being yk magically absolved of pre-existing problems? Like the MC has an inferiority complex, communication issues, among other sources of trauma. Yohan is possessive, and… idk what else tbh lol. Ig they’re both insecure too. Anyway, I like the realistic touch this has with both leads navigating life and a homosexual relationship in modern society.
