Leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The story relies heavily on conflict caused by the characters simply failing to talk through misunderstandings for no apparent reason. They have time to be together multiple times, get married and even for the seme to suddenly RAPE his own husband and yet have no time to simply talk to each other.
It's always annoying to watch a cute, hard working and well meaning uke suffer for no good reason. That is 90% of this book, watching the good guy suffer at the hands of his own husband. It's really pretty gross and I found it hard to ship them. I wish the uke had walked away instead.
