I had high expectations, but this was a bit meh. It's cute and all how they conquer dynamics and realize their feelings for each other, but the story itself bored me and I wish it didn't cause it's a cool dynamic (rare to see a sub top and a dom bottom and that to be actually shown in their sex and play). Their love for each other didn't feel super genuine and their attraction wasn't convincing to me, it all happened quickly. The way the MC didn't even attempt to understand the ML's research was also annoying, although I like how he chased him (a bottom chasing his top will always be a pleasure to read), but the chasing was also too short lived. As soon as the MC experienced dom drop, the ML betrayed his principles and decided to open up to him (he took a liking to him, so it makes sense, but I wish it didn't happen so quickly). It's also a bit clumsy how the ML is like - as soon as you turn 20, it's all fine, we can fuck. Doesn't work like that lol, the MC still has maturing to do, it's not just about the number of one's age.
I like how their play was shown, although I wish the MC' strong dom streak would show up more, especially his glare and more intimidating commands, a bit more hardcore play than just "come here" and "cum". (Only when he tied up the ML was it slightly exciting, and even then, it lasted just for a while; I wish we would've seen a completely subbed top who can't move, can't do anything, and is just used as a dildo by the bottom while in sub space.) His intensity didn't translate in the sex, and the ML also felt a bit unfazed, even in sub space. Now, I understand the ML is more resilient than other subs, and that the MC didn't want to push the ML during play as he was afraid he'd scare him off, but the moment they trusted each other and went on with the engagement, it would've been nice to see both of them let go and submerge into more intense play properly on the base of trust. So yeah, lukewarm given the great concept and potential of the story. The dom just wasn't dom enough for me, and the sub wasn't sub enough. I wanna see a properly submissive top for once and a genuinely domineering cute bottom turned glaring and sadist. I wanna see a stoic sub be broken down by a needy, cocky dom bottom. One can dream...
