- In the beginning, it was mentioned that MC has a crush, which led to the reason why he went to the bar. I knew it was my curiosity, but I wish it was described more why MC loved the crush. It was just gone.

In addition, the crush was supposed to be a regular of the bar, but when MC decided to do part time later, the crush was gone. It could be that ML banned the crush because of what the latter did. Still, even MC didn't mention it after. Like suddenly the crush was missing.

Not to mention MC was supposed to be someone independent and didn't like to interact with unfamiliar people. So for me, the reason why MC /liked/ the previous crush was even important, especially with his background.

- The roommate who stole MC's things. Again, I felt like the author just skipped this arc. I'm glad it didn't pursued further, but I also felt like the part was dumped and then got it over with.

- THE GLOSSED OVER r*peD PART!

MC was sort of kidnapped in ML's birthday. Yes he was clever to postpone the assault, but after the incident, MC was suddenly not traumatised? He even could humour ML who got hurt while saving him. I want my MC to not be damsel in distress, but this was ATTEMPTED r*pe. Instead, author just glossed it over. MC was suddenly fine eventhough he was being touched naked.

All other assault part I've read didn't go to detail or even went that far before ML came to rescue, but they were still having PTSD and got ML's comfort. This one? It was like the r*pe part was just daily things.

The culprit couldn't be punished which was something that could really happen in real world. That's why I was hoping the author to not ignore the MC's conditions after the r*pe part.

- Parents' situation. MC's background was super sad and I'm glad that he just managed to forget about it. Would prefer to have bit more karma retribution happened to them, but alas it was not there.

- I've just also realized how the author loved to mention about r*pe. There were already 3 incidents so far and everything was glossed over with. Lol, I don't mind r*pe victim becomes lover tags, but I do mind when the story was being told in realistic way, yet the r*pe traumatic part was too glossed over.

MC definitely had the whole tragic backstory that's slowly revealed in the story that gives him the "stray abandoned kitty" vibe. Despite the age gap, I liked how well their personalities and values match. Unlike other stories, there is a a more level headed thinking to the characters here that goes beyond the surface level. They're not just going around blindly. And that's what makes the pairing all the more special.

pe*vert Mr Cao and the whole kidnapping part. But thankfully it was very short and it pushed the romantic plotline forward. I wished we actually saw the downfall of Mr Cao that ML was plotting. Also kind of hoped to see a bit more of MC's school life or even interaction with his old roommates because that was another conflict. But alas it was a clean break.

Is there any story for that side character Mr Song?
