It seems you are the only one pointed out this while others panicking about whom being the endgame. In chapter 45, he finally will experience something that he never had experience before in his life. It's such a thrilling moment to see him being taken aback by his dark emotions that he never imagined to be in him. A sharp contrast from his usual personality. The turning point for me was how he acknowledged his dark emotions as a part of him. So true he's not naive and uninteresting like how most people projecting him.

I hate it when people just focus on TJ’s dick and their sex scenes instead of properly focusing on the storyline itself/ at least the character’s thoughts. I’ve seen so many people say Jo is not interesting and how he’s a random/bystander. It’s disappointing.
I wonder if Jo will start to get more toxic throughout the season of 3 or by the end of s2. It would be interesting if his friendly personality took a turn. Cause no sane person will stay sane with being involved with gang world.

I think people are more fond of TJ's sex scenes chemistry with Ian and completely ignoring the plot. I'm very sure Joseph will not get toxic. He's really different from all the characters that I have seen. You put someone like Joseph in the same background as Ian and TJ, he definitely will be the most unpredictable one out of the three MCs. Yes, especially when their love ones involved in the cruel world.

I also kinda blame the author for including so many sex scenes, but it’s really up to the readers how they see that. And it’s disappointing that majority of the fandom are not really reading and only thinking about the sexual chemistry when there’s more.
I’ve seen the greenest flags become somewhat toxic so it’s a possibility for Jo as well as his desires are slowly becoming known. But perhaps he will be different and subdue those toxic desires or thoughts. It would be OOC if he did suddenly become toxic within a few chapters.
Jo seems like the type to do anything for someone he loves and someone he loves is in the gang world, he’s definitely going to be involved and try to protect Ian.

The sex scenes between TJ and Ian necessary for the plot since they both can't communicate with each other like a normal people. Sex is their only communication. You get to see what they are actually thinking and the build up of their relationship. If Joseph remains the same like how he used to be he can't win the battle against the familiarity and attachment that's stronger than what he has now for Ian. So yes we are finally going to see character development from them. The plot is actually thickening. I think it will get darker from now on.

Dude exactly. I remember saying that the only way tj and Ian can communicate it through intimacy. That's why they have more sex scenes because they don't know how verbally communicate. That's why their sex scene are more passionately drawn. But people only focus on just plain sex. I'm someone who absolutely hates constant and consecutive sex chapters but I don't hate it much in wetsand because there's a reason it happens. To many just focus on endgame and ignore why its happening

That also may be one of the reasons why people find Jo and Ian’s sex more bland. Because they already have a better communication I guess and cause they haven’t known each other for that long enough to have toxicity formed between them.
Their sex is more intense and just appealing because they verbalize through sex. Idk how to describe but you get the idea.
I like how we are slowly being shown Jo darker thoughts. His jealousy caving in and taking him. What I love is that Jo is able to recognize them and still put himself in place. He's not naive and knows what he's putting himself in. I can't want to he his desire and greed to take over him just a little bit
