usually I love psychological shit but this one isn’t executed as well as I’d like? Instead of portraying mental illness it feels oddly fetishy?? Im not sure how else to put it.
Maybe this was to shed light on pedophiles or something but I just dont feel comfortable w seeing smut of children and adults lol. And the constant reminder that they don’t have their balls and yk they look more boyish and prolly sound young cuz they got castrated it’s just overall uncomfy lmao. It feels like some weird way to get eternal legal shotas or sumthin IDK I’m not a novel reader and i dropped this at 29ch so idk if it gets better
They were castrated in youth, but they're in their twenties now. It's supposed to feel like a fetish/addiction. That's kinda the point of the story. No one is right in their heads and they're all addicts of some sort
The reasonn behind them being castrated is to retain their voice since it's responsible for their pubescent.
You can google “Castrato”. A male singer who underwent castration before puberty to retain their HIGH voice. Popular in 18th century Italy.
at first I was dubious cuz I saw neg comments but this was honestly a hidden gem.
when I started reading i didn’t know if I wanted to continue cuz the ML’s personality was eccentric in an awkward and annoying way. It did grow on me tho esp when MC started showing interest in him. their dynamic is cute and the smut is amazing. one of my biggest complaints is that it has a couple plot points that totally shouldve been covered for more content. Don’t get me wrong fhe story is fine as is, it just has untapped potential. OH AND THEY ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE AFTER THEIR SHORT MISUNDERSTANDING ARC
MORE IN DEPTH THOUGHTS **SPOILERS** AHEAD
I wish we saw more of MC’s family and bsf because his bsf literally confessed and then we never see or speak of him again. And ML’s mom knows abt the relationship but MC’s fam didn’t get the same treatment.
they also get married (why didn’t we see that :( ) and then it just ends there. I’m now realizing that this shit was super rushed lol … OMG and MC’s friends ??? does he ever come out to them lolllll there shouldve been more school content and relationship revealing those r crucial. AAGGGHH I’m getting frustrated thinking abt all the untapped potential gaw don’t get me started on how annoyed I was when MC didn’t admit that they met in middle school
Genuinely wish this was twice as long—it feels like it was super rushed and it had hella potential. To put it into perspective, the pacing and rushing was like trying to condense all the Spider-Man movies into a singular 1hr movie. It would probably still be peak, but you’re left thinking “i want to know more and see more” or “wow i wish that scene was longer”. ╥﹏╥
So much potential—the characters had perfect backstories that would’ve been great to delve deeper into.
Overall i do recommend reading this—despite the rushing, you understand what the author is going for. It’s worthwhile to give this story a shot fr fr
wish there was more intense play but overall a solid read. i rly liked how the uke was actually into the play and the ml listened to his requests.
this was a really easy, lighthearted read. highly rec esp since it’s on the shorter side so it’s a quick read if ur bored … would pay to erase my memory to freely read again hehe
