eh... I wanted to read more of this and really give it a chance but I just can't find the enjoyment.
The whole blackmailing thing feels forced to move the plot forward. personally it would have been more interesting if the two were friends.
Already some sort of nonsense love triangle with one angry girl who's jealous, dance class crap that doesn't even feel important. it just feels all over the place and the main character isn't even really likable. He couldn't even speak up when the chick blackmailing him was telling him to buy all this expensive stuff? Sorry but like your livelihood should come first, makeup isn't worth not being able to live.
there's just too much there that feels completely disconnected and pointless especially when every character so far feels worse than the last. I was really hoping it'd be an interesting take on someone who wanted to express themselves and be comfortable with their ideal self but instead it's just constant drama already.
