Everyone is swearing up and down on the second couple, but I cannot bring myself to read it because of that bag-of-dicks alpha. Not a single bone in my body could give an actual fuck about that guy, especially not him getting a nice cute relationship after what he did to the MC??? Don't play
Well he literally had no second chance and had to rebuild everything from the start the narrative punishes him the most out of every single character in this story. Its fine to not like him but punishing him constantly for his mistakes and giving him 0 chances to become a better person and be happy is just bad storywriting and ur setting yourself up for a bad message
I can't help but think many of the comments here didn't actually finish the story because the ending isn't really half bad.
I went into this expecting the uke to be the most mind numbing, self sacrificing, pushover of the century, but genuinely, no. He knows what he's doing, he is aware that he's doing it to himself, he is very VERY self-aware. Socially, he has confidence and takes control when he wants something, but he lacks self-esteem, which can easily be explained away by looking at his past with his disapproving family situation, then his money struggles, and anxieties about his future.
Plus, we got yearning tears and an alcoholic phase from the seme, so all's well...
They're very cute as a couple, but I wish we saw more of what actually happened when they fought in highschool AND had a better resolution to that whole thing.
Y'all spent years mad at each other and the readers aren't really told *why* exactly. I mean, we're given a liiiiittle information to guess, but the cause is never brought up again. And the resolution was just, "Oh? You like me? Deadass? You're forgiven! Let's (trial) date!" Huh??











It started off really really strong and it was super sweet then they just had to disappoint us with SA. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but.. seriously, dude?
