How does this have high ratings!??
Let me bullet point the HUGEST issues

• Author disgustingly fetishises and sexualises thai people, also describes them as something along the lines of "alien like sexual creatures of innocence" Need I say more?
• foot fetish. just yucky honestly. he sucked on his toes.
• one made the other throw up by putting fingers down others throat, they then made out.
• Elio fucks a literal peach. and then it's described as a "bruised and violated" and "lay there like a rape victim"
• the Oliver comes in and proceeds to EAT the peach covered in "substance"
• The age gap is weird

Apart from that, Elio is unrealistically written as a 17 year old and the actual story was terribly boring. Overall poorly written as well.
