Everything about this was great except for how the plot developed. Specially by the middle, things felt stagnant and the climax of the story didn't feel climactic at all.
Also, was lowkey hoping viscount dude and young lord got together at some point lol. Like, they were pretty much attached at the hip and in the plot for no reason, might as well make them the 2nd couple. Also, young lord's chamberlain also just disappeared randomly somewhere along the way lolm
Seriously, the OG premise is as vanilla as it can bet, but turn it BL with an unhinged power bottom (I'm assuming) MC with side of GL involving supportive FL and we've got something amazing on our hands.
