i’m only on chapter 18, but i’m not sure if i’ll still follow along the story. it seems interesting, but the romance aspect in this is turning me off. idk why it’s so hard for characters to just break up w their partner when they don’t want anything to do w them anymore. even if ryan seems like the really annoying and clingy boyfriend who would still want to continue the relationship, but hello? noah is just waaaaay worse. bro has just been gaslighting, lying, manipulating, and cheating on him. he seems to have no problem setting boundaries with his childhood best friend whom he lived with, what’s stopping him from just breaking up and setting boundaries with ryan? you’d think someone who went through the stuff noah did— losing his parents and having to struggle being alienated by his best friend’s family— he’d have a little more empathy and awareness on how he’s treating others.
