Yes worth it. The seme does a whole 360 in personality. Cocky whore to devoted yearner. His actions are a little questionable which is why some people would argue he deserves to be hurt. Current recent chapters are at the peak of the drama (you might find it frustrating) A lot of people misinterpret the uke’s actions yet it’s very clear he does have some feelings for the seme. The sexual tension is super good.

This one is not exactly similar but the premise is because they start as a casual fuck or contract and develop feelings like the ones above.
Cunty/independent uke

My personal favorites:
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/payback_1/ (has plot and tension with possessive seme)

The seme is DOWN BAD for the uke (he’s an asshole at first though) The expressions the seme has are captivating as the story progresses.
Random recs:
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/off_track/
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/the_muse/ this one is a little boring but the romance is cute.
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/boiling_frog/ This one is a random rec too, slutty-looking uke and the seme is pursuing him. It’s teacher x student (at first) but the student is 20 yr old since he went to study abroad so he’s closer in age with the teacher.

Is this read worth it? I saw the panel of the guy hurt and I’m wondering if this read is worth it or if it’s heartbreaking?
