This is such a well written novel, very interesting, the rating in jjwxc is 9.9 too. It's very plot heavy, and as much of a sci-fi action novel as it is a BL.I really don't understand the previous review. Yes, this is a post apocalyptic BL drama. It's true that if you're looking for "yaoi sweetness smexy times" (to quote the first review) this isn't the right novel. However there's some serious misrepresentation happening in there.Spoiler
The reason the MC feels guilt over abandoning the ML is that MC repeatedly promised him he'd never abandon him, and that he'd stay together with him. The MC is not a white lotus at all, not honest, he's very proactive but also has low emotional intelligence. Their relationship is complicated, emotional dependency that becomes mutually toxic but they eventually figure it out. The MC is so manipulative and cruel at times, christ.
s*x is not explicit, some instances of dubcon, but there's also explicit consent and declarations of love beforehand, the situation is complex, can't skip around just looking for the s*x scenes.
[collapse]Regarding TW, read the tags, read the summary, black belly MC, drama, he starts on death row, this is not a sweet pampering novel and it's not be for everyone, but it's also not a tragic torture novel either.
