I'm so happy that his stepmom loves him. Like there are so many other stories where the ML's stepmom wants to put her son as the heir and tries to kill the ML but it's refreshing than in this one the stepmom loves him and it's truly in love with his dad and the fact that she's buff and hot it's a plus (▰˘◡˘▰)

Anyone else getting the vibe that Spica's love interest it's gonna be her adopted older brother? Like he went a bit yandere when he heard about the tutor being mean to her and that's usually an early sign that he's interested in her. They where also very clear about him being adopted so it feels like the author it's trying to get us to see them as a potential match

I'm reminded of that thing with King Salomon and the baby with two women who claimed they were the mom? Like, look at who was the one that let go first and who was the one that was going to keep pulling even if it hurts the one he claims to love

Fascinating! That story exists in Buddhist stories as well where a demon transformed itself as the mother & tried to steal the child but was stopped by the actual mother. The Buddha was called to intervene and declared a tug of war contest to decide who got to keep the child. The mother panicked and let go while the demon won. Thus, the Buddha declared that the woman who lost was the real mother since she couldn't bear to see it harmed. I've grown up with this version and had no idea that other versions existed.

In the Salomon one the king says that he'll cut the baby in half and each of the women can have half of the child, one of the women immediately was willing to let the other one have the child so the baby wouldn't be hurt so Salomon decided that the one who wanted to protect the child was the real mom. I have grown up with that on and also had no idea that other versions existed
Our egg protagonist trying to woo the trans boy with "you're still a girl to me" it's low-key hilarious
