Everyone: some freakout for or against the sex.
Me: freaking out for these reasons:
There's a couple who like eachother but openly disagree without it becoming a fight. Their tension doesn't simply evaporate but naturally getting stacked into priorities because of desires, fulfillment, and growing emotions. The stakes don't get lowered by the growing romance because the farther along you go without the expected fight and the more entwined they get in taboo(either the age or the incest or both, especially with the guy living in her house for a while) the more the plot heightens the sense of doom hanging over them. All the rising action also generating a sense of nihilism since they were damned from the moment they breached taboo. They're keeping it a secret for now, but the truth is going to catch up to them, its only a matter of when. All this relationshop couched in the stress of someone attempting their college entrance exams, with stakes so high that any distraction like a budding relationship might destroy a career. In this instance a career which is tragically also the self same thing that budding relationship's future depends upon. The plot's tenion naturally poses questions, Doomed or successfully eloped how can the relationship be honored if its consummation undermines a partner's ability to support the other? how does shirking responsibility for someone you love actually treat them with love? how would this relationship exist without the consumation which costs said responsibility? neatly circling back to a mirror questions, how would the relationship exist without violating the taboo? how do you treat your partner with dignity via violating the taboo?
Seems like this story will be a better argument against taboo based relationships than any of the moral grandstanders in this comments section could ever make if they spent a decade writing! There are those who teach morals despite what it does to their reputation, there are those who use morals to enhance their reputation. One of these two genuinely have a positive effect on the world.

A shame the rating got upgraded. At times the narration was less introspective and more horny, which clashed with the atmosphere. Most of the time the censorship was a lazy whited-out square, when it could have done a lot more with intentionally obfuscating things; to try and play around with the colors and details. Hard to tell if the afterword isn't just taking the piss.
