@Lonely Otaku I am in the future! Hahahaha 😊

[ The amusement park scene and the one where he disappeared after "Dad" Went to the warehouse and saw the other young man's head in the fridge...]

Yeah that was horrible! After those scenes, I was bracing for the worst.  I also thought the crisis would drag out a bit since the villain was depicted as such a despicable person, but I guessed wrong. It got resolved rather quickly and the end came rolling so soon. Well I'm. glad that the main characters got to live "normally" but I dunno, I feel it was a bit rushed and lacking. Maybe I'm just nitpicking.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that... Looking for something new to read maybe? Deep breathing maybe? I'm not sure how I can help

[ What's next on your list?? ]
--- I haven't really decided yet... I have yet to look up the titles that you've recommended. Not sure if I'd pick up Under the Greenlight or not. 🤔

@Chiyo06 I agree and no you're not nitpicking. After reading tons of bl it kinda trains one to be a kind of expert at some basic things like pacing etc... For most readers anyway so you're not wrong to say it felt a little rushed cause it did. 

But at the same time like I said bwat reads can struggle to hold an audience so I'm guessing they decided to quit while they were ahead which I think was the better choice as opposed to dragging it on. 

Plus I find that 70 to 90 chapters is a very sweet spot to end a story. After that even picking it up as a new reader just feels discouraging like you'll never finish 🥴

And please pay no mind to me saying I'm feeling numb. When I correspond on this platform my thoughts just flow freely because in my mind this is a safe space so everything just comes out but I'm fine and I'm sure I'll find sth new in no time. 

Sometimes it's not even the works that are the problem it's me whose in a weird space so let's drop that here and pretend I didn't say it 😫🥲

I'm thinking either Payback or December rain for my next read. 

Let me know what you end up settling on :)
