It's like, initially it was going not too bad. A bland start, but I did think it was quite comedic, which was nice and I thought that it would continue down that path where it's two teachers bickering over some one sided love and stuff but NO it did not, it went through such a turn that I got a bit taken aback.
The progression overall was to say, pretty shitty. There are so much more ways that this could've been written to showcase the depth of their intentions further and at least give us something to justify their actions a bit but tbh it's almost just a linear sad backstory + savior plotline, making the read feel pretty shallow considering the stuff they've done to each other up till the end. What's worse is the resolution. They all recovered way too quick. They all just flew by the problems that seems like it would take much more time to resolve. I did like that Imarin had a bit more of complexity in his thoughts compared to the others, even if tbh in the end it was meh but still.
There's also Shion and Takahashi that seems like they turned a genuine fucked up action into more of a comedic/ irrelevant part of the plot. Like fym "I made you drink aphrodisiac and forced you to @ss@ult me and recording it" in one panel and after that it was treated like it was nothing what like??? Is Takahashi genuinely lobotomized or something, cause both his and Shion's writing is ass and tbh it would've been better if they had zero dynamic and stayed separate instead of romanticizing and surfing past whatever the hell possibly even went on with them.
Anybody got good angst/misunderstandings/running away typa BL in their roster?
Preferably completed but tbh idm anything I just wanna be fed
gig of the day is a good one ! although the running away arc is still kind of fresh, so best to marinate lol
Someone like you

To the Grand Duke who can't ascend ( historical + royalty)
Baby, we need to talk ( omega verse)
Merry on the rocks ( misunderstanding)
Change of heart ( uke misunderstood seme )
A midsummer night's kiss
Kimi no yoru ni fureru ( this manga is so peak)
Golden light for you ( it's not too long not too short but this story is so peak )
okay here’s some
Bait - Psychological/ Cryptic/ Mysterious Themes
One Day, I Became a Mad Tyrant - game system/reincarnation - esq
At the end of the road - reincarnation
There’s no one - zombie apocalypse but might be ur vibe
I like this a lot, a lot of their interactions might freak out or cringe a lot of ppl out, but I like the fact that they're BOTH the ones doing those actions and not just one of them being a bitchass to the other (they're bitchasses for each other).
The tall bottom x shorter top was so hot bro, and they REEEAAALLY be showing off their kinks in this one shamelessly LMAOO. The side stories are actually also rlly good, the fact that it was all acting didn't really affect my initial impression of it surprisingly, but rather just an add in to the depth of each of their characters.
Overall, this wasn't a bad read. It's definitely refreshing after I just read multiple awful stories in a row!
