OK yeah I'm dropping this. The story is bland and the same old same old and I can predict what the next 40 chapters are going to be like. The MC is the kind of character that you just can't root for. Not saying the ML was perfect but (and maybe the translation isn't the best) he wasn't so horrible. Also you have the audacity to be pissed when you hid the fact that you were the one who slept with him. Also this author is a prime example of why the misunderstanding trope is such a turn off. It can definitely be executed well but 90% of these BL authors are terrible writers and you have to be at least a decent writer to pull off the misunderstanding trope without making your readers roll their eyes. The MC is probably gonna keep getting sick and will be told he needs the Alphas pheromones. The ML will have a chasing arc where he doesn't fully understand that he's actually in love with the MC. More than like family expectations are involved and the root of why the ML has been an asshole. MC life with be in danger ML comes to the rescue, they make up, and live happily ever after. The end.
U're not wrong for disliking the trope, but i think some of the things you predicted were literally established from the beginning, The family issue and ML’s bias weren’t random reveals. Also the breakup wasn’t “MC hid it so now consequences”, ML genuinely believed he cheated on his boyfriend and felt guilty. Messy communication? Yes. Bad writing? I don’t think so..

The author introducing them at the beginning doesn't take away from predictable writing. Introducing an overused trope at the beginning still makes said trope. Overused and boring. Also never described the breakup in that manner. Talking about the hypocrisy of the MC surrounding the breakup. It's bad writing because it's predictable same story already written a million times. It's bad writing because we are TOLD by the author (via Mc) that the ml has been absolutely horrible when what has been shown is that he's just been a bit of an asshole but obviously very caring of the the Mc. It's bad writing because MC makes a lot of jumps in logic that makes no sense given what we have seen so far. Even in real life humans can be very presumptuous and misunderstandings are part of life but using the excuse for hiding the baby with "Oh he won't want to take responsibility!" You're telling me the man who married you (even if it hasn't been romantic" the man who got you your job, the man who basically did almost everything you asked of him won't take responsibility if he finds out he got you pregnant?!?! The misunderstanding trope especially within BL stories is very rarely done well.

That’s fair actually, and i think this makes more sense than just calling it predictable. I still don’t fully agree that predictability automatically = bad writing though. For me execution matters more. I can understand being frustrated with MC’s logic bcs fear can make ppl irrational, but i didn’t read it as the author trying to convince us ML was secretly evil. I saw it more as MC projecting his own fears and insecurities onto someone who’s clearly flawed but not completely uncaring. But yeah i agree misunderstanding plots are hard to pull off and if the emotional logic doesn’t work for u then the whole thing falls apart..
