Please read “A Love Too Captivating” (2023) IMMEDIATELY if you haven’t already

This story is just about everything anyone could ever want in a BL if you love the genre but hate the toxic rape tropes that come with it.

The story is so SO sweet and wholesome in a way a lot of people can relate to. The character development is gradual but it doesn’t drag out and I never felt bored reading any part of it. It’s a slow burn that doesn’t feel tedious and flows pretty naturally imo. And it’s a BL/shonen ai that is not smutty or creepy! Imagine that!

The art style is GORGEOUS. The graphite style is just so pretty!! If this ever gets adapted into an anime I wonder how that style would translate into animation.

Just all around beautiful. So far there are only about 13 chapters but I am so excited to see where the story goes. They do so many cute and innocent things for each other. Please read it IMMEDIATELY if you haven’t. If you have, read it again!
