I really liked the premise of this story, which is why I started reading it. It really overpromised and delivered extremely lackluster and mediocre storytelling.
It was very robotic in nature: first there was this guy who played games, and he fell in love with his teammate from the game, and then there was also a dom/sub thing going on which wasn't really explored properly, and some very glossed over traumatic backstory of the previous job. AND for shits and giggles let's just have him find out that the teammate was his boss all along after almost getting raped and not even address that.
There just was too much explored in less than 6 chapters that it was all crammed into very few pages, to get on with the next thing they want to cram into the story.
Also, problems were never REALLY resolved, just kind of "fixed" in one or two lines.
There are so many great mangas and mangakas who do BL but they write a solid story and explore themes by fleshing them out and ensuring that every issue/problem they introduce into the story is well resolved or create an open-ending that is satisfactory for the audience to interpret.
It looks like the author doesn't have other titles under their name so maybe they're just learning. Hopefully, they get better.
I like that this site has more Manhwas/Manhuas but I really miss Japanese Manga
Like I miss the good ones with storytelling, a bit of raunchiness and awesome art.
There seems to be an uprise in subpar porny webtoons in Japan
Anyone have a good recommendation of bl/yaoi Mangas from the last 2 years?
Well, this one was released in 2021; it’s not in last 2 years, but storytelling and art are chef’s kiss.

I know some people are not finding them interesting but in my opinion I love that they are basically in completely different "leagues", it's so much more realistic because you can't help who you end up falling in love with. The difference between them creates harmony and makes them a lot more interesting as a couple! I also like how much less forced they are, like potato said something that really struck a chord with Heesung making him sway a little, and it really is like that in real life. Someone says something which attracts you to them, even if they aren't necessarily who you typically find physically appealing. Heesung was surprised by this, but didn't fall in love.
It kind of implies to me that Heesung isn't going to randomly fall in love again, and perhaps all this time he was never really in love with all those people, maybe he just had a crush, an infatuation, or maybe it was lust? But it makes it all the better that Heesung is confused by potato. Potato is a character that is not Heesung's type, and he is not someone Heesung is in love with. This makes it all the more real, and all the more likeable. I think potato may end up becoming Heesung's first ever true/real love.
That's just my take/predictions
