What’s really annoying me rn, is how she just CONSTANTLY looks down on herself. To the point that she doesn’t even want it to be known they are seeing each other. She wants it to be a secret. It’s annoying atp. I’ve defended this story in the past because people would say that this is written by a man, for men. And I really didn’t take that from this story. Yes it’s long winded and some chapters are 75% monologue/internal thoughts. But the constant degradation is starting to irk me. We at ONE HUNDRED CHAPTERS IN. And they’re just dancing around each other it seems. I think I’ll drop it here and maybe come back in 6 months again.
Wow, what a beautiful piece. I mean this story was wonderful. Written in a lovely way. Even the side stories were amazing. I can’t say that I have read any other Yaoi written so nicely. I saw some people say that they wish Lyle had made Ash suffer a bit, but I think the way he went about it was spot on with his character. I do agree with another comment that mentioned that Lyle may be on the spectrum. Even so, the way he is written is so good though. Definitely a 10/10. And I don’t give that rating lightly or often. I also wanted to touch on how the side stories added even more depth to the couple after the end of the main story. It’s a great “Afterward.”
