long review) A lowkey disgusting and uncomfortable read. Mc (uncle) basically is a pedophile and groomer, let's not sugar coat this. To be clear, not trying to go for a "holier than thou" approach as I've appreciated works like Dawn of the Dragon and SVSSS. However, this author just takes that already weird troupe, maxes it to the extreme, and blatantly rubs it in readers faces assuming most people will think "eh average bl plot". The author/artist sets up these "cute moments" that are meant to get you to think "awh hes falling for him" that are in retrospect really fucking disgusting; like in the panel where ML (nephew) sees him smiling after discussing kissing him and eventually folds to the guilt/pressure. The fact that the MC (uncle) is consistent guilt tripping, sexually plus mentally manipulating the ML (Nephew) to get intimate and see him as a lover was just unbearable to read through. The ML (Nephew) is visibly very disgusted and uncomfortable at the advances and view that the ML (uncle) views him in. The first chapter you already see him deadass CARING for him as a INFANT. Lets be honest this specific aspect of seeing him as a baby was completely unnecessary, the story would have stayed great if he met him in a non familial aspect, eg. Like what strangers until 20s? Its just extremely uncomfortable and I've only managed to skim through the non intimate chapters to even get a better grasp on the plot so I could get a complete idea before making a review.
