I also think that our MC is not looking at the ML as a brother but as a golden thigh to avoid death
I agrre, that's a huge part of their dynamics, too.
Thanks for letting me know this early
Finallyyyy IKR. OUT OF ALL ,manhwas IVE READ- Beware of the brothers is the most disturbing- they have this family atmospehere around them, they have parents that literally raised them as siblings in a loving home. Other than that, this and viridescent crown is okay

I thought we have clarified this but for all those who are disgusted when adopted siblings get together romantically, this is not for you. Dietrich is the love interest and as far as the novel goes, they are endgame.

Tbh, I was uncomfortable as well but this is different from Beware of the Brothers where there were parental figures raising them as siblings and they really act as a family. For this story, there was no one raising them and they really have to make do with themselves, from finding food to keeping themselves alive from assassination attempts. It's like a mini hunger games in their own residence and they depend on each other, so I view their dynamics differently. Kinda similar to childhood friends thing. Anissa definitely knows Dietrich isn't his brother so she never viewed her a sibling from the very beginning, I just don't know about Dietrich lol.

Also in Asian culture, (specifically Korean) calling an older male "brother" or "oppa" is normal. Even in Filipino culture, we call slightly older men "kuya" even though we're not related. It's just a respect thing, but it really does become sketchy when translated to English lol esp because things are different in Western culture.
