honestly i didn’t really find how their relationship progressed that appealing, i wish it could’ve been approached differently. especially the fact that ml thought of mc as a dear friend while mc just saw him as just another task to complete, i would’ve tackled how mc in general viewed human relationships and if i was ml, yes i would be sad and worried about mc abandoning me, but i would’ve also been upset by the fact that mc never even saw me as a friend and how easy it was for him to leave me. also mc’s character development felt pretty monotonous to me until the end, and i know that he lets ml kiss him every time because of his complex and past trauma, but it wasn’t really enjoyable to read. i get that maybe ml forced himself on mc because of his situation with his ex and that sort of mirrors it but i don’t know, it sort of undermines ml’s character. maybe it’s my problem but i’m going through a streak of not being able to find my read’s characters enjoyable or interesting.
rereading this but honestly… why is ml kinda annoying. i would be pissed if i invited a friend out to the beach and they went behind my back and invited their friend which i’ve openly shown dislike for. talk about being selfish… “sorry for not telling you he was coming i wanted you to be friends” ??? that’s not how it works and it’s rude.











i was wondering why everyone was hating on the first couple, but then that happened… so yeah.
