A warning that the love interest in this is/was sexually abused (not by the protagonist, to be clear)—and that the author goes really creepy in trying to portray it as some nearly-okay thing that a reasonable human might have done.
(Well, I'm not adding the sexual "violence tag" because some details are hazy, most of it happens off-screen or in the past, and we're probably talking "only" statutory rape and dumb emotional abuse and horrifyingly awful sexual predation that is viewed through weirdly rose-tinted glasses, but not non-consent per-se...? I'm not sure though. Could call it either way.)
Anyway, with the author having the protagonist full-on praising the motives of some of those predators in the latter half of ch.3, I had to give up and bail. I know yaoi as a genre is blind to the right-and-wrong bits of things a lot of the time but this one just started grabbing for the heartstrings at the most horrifically inappropriate junctures. Yeee-uck.
(To be fair, the protagonist and love interest themselves had a somewhat decent dysfunctional dynamic going between them, and the sporadic cat theme was cute. But... that's not enough to make me wade through dog-sick.)
