Started off pretty good. Main story 7/10 side stories 4/10

Main story
It was good at the start, i like how equally obsessed they r to each other even if the uke is the nile river. Seme has manipulative streak sometimes but it's pretty understandable given by how much attached they r, not saying it's good but it adds to the flavor of the story, otherwise it's ur typical childhood friends to lovers. Sometimes it takes me off whenever uke still calls seme "man" "dude" like theyre still dudebros even when theyre already dating, maybe that's just how he is cuz he's not very sweet. Sometimes i feel like that the author cant decide between the whiny diva archtype or the happy go lucky boyish archtype for the uke, which the latter kind of doesnt fit with how pretty and cute he looks. Ive said too much now i wanna discuss the side stories

Side story
Wish they never added this. Typical kr bl manhwa when it comes to handling gay sex. Bottom keeps telling stop it hurts but top keeps going cuz the reason is "bottom likes it anyways he's just flustered or look he cums so hard so it's ok" But the whole scene looks like an unhealthy way of communicating during sex. The top doesnt listen, bottom looks like he should be suffering but they make it so that he's not really even tho logically this kind of sex should be painful? Do u get it? Whenever this happens i just roll my eyes. Is this most kr comic creator's kink? Same thing over again it's not even enjoyable to read so i drop the side stories. It's become a template atp and a really bad one
