LITMUS test for yaoi writing: would it hold up as a heterosexual love story? I genuinely think the ml would get much more hate and general criticism if he made the same choices but with a woman as the mc/love interest instead. His cowardice is cruel even if unintentionally. Mc never had the peace of mind of knowing he was wanted or loved like the ml did. Bro didn’t grovel nearly enough to make up for that fact.
