Guys the whole story is about his abandonment and attachment issues Like if you took that away from him, it's a story about nothing. God forbid we have interesting characters.

I don't think it's a bad thing, because it's not like it's shallow. It really explores his perspective, how he became that way and how it impacts others in his life. It makes the characters feel more like people.
My point is that if a reader just wants to see two hot dudes kiss with no issues whatsoever, then go read thaaaat. His issues aren't a fault, they're a feature!

Lol, well that explains it. Imagine you're the most insecure man alive and you're in love with royalty, who you basically serve. Imagine that the royalty prefers the most hated slave in the kingdom over you. Imagine that they fall in love. Imagine that even in his most powerless, humiliated and confused state, he still prefers his old love over you. What a loser.

I understand it's supposed to be a cute scene, but... Idk I just find it weird when characters in a romance story are jealous of children. Like oooooh watch out, this eight year old is coming to steal your bf.

Normally I would agree, but I personally let it slide in this case. More cause I'm willing to interpret it as jealous that the kid has had much more time to be around the mc, and aresh wants to spend time with Seiichirou lol. But yeah, I doubt seiichirou is a peophile so it still feels silly ngl lol
Part of me is like: Omg, a baby is on the way I wonder how this will develop their relationship and how they view each other and how the child will look like and stuff. The other part is like:ABORT THAT THAAANG. YOU DON'T WANT IT. YOU NEVER WANTED IT. GO LIVE FREELY TO YOUR SHITHOLE TOWN BBG.
