Sometimes this series is so bad it goes back round to good. Bai is pretty stupid and self sacrificial that she’s always getting herself into danger. She’s kind to a HUGE fault which her mates love her for yet at the same time it makes them so seethingly jealous. (Seriously, can she stop wandering off on her own? This can’t be her character trait.)
All her bois are red flags except Winston; Parker is immature, petty and never respected her mating boundaries at the start. Curtis is just plain yandere with a short fuse (though thankfully he develops tolerance later), Shuu was so sad and desperate that he fell JUST FROM ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS, Miur was reckless and manipulative, Blue is whiny and pompous and Avah’s… Avah.
Bai is constantly working mediator as the boys she does end up with constant squabble, fight and backstab and stressed as to when the tensions might snap and one of them might actually end up killing each other and they almost never care. Winston’s the only one that minds where he stands, keeps a respectful distance so she doesn’t have to deal with the jealousy he’d invoke (though it does anyway because they are all insecure as hell), is helpful to her at the drop of a hat and asks for nothing but her companionship, whatever it may be. He’s so great.
I honestly skimmed the Manipulative Miur/Peacock Tribe arc because we ain’t got time for clueless protag. Skipped to the reveal when her boi Parker finally came to pick Bai up and his deception was revealed and MAN. WAS IT SATISFYING TO SEE MIUR SEEMINGLY DYING OF HEARTBREAK. WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN, MIUR? SHE SAID SHE’D ONLY ACCEPT YOU IF HER PARTNERS DID TOO. DID YOU REALLY HAVE HOPE AFTER BURNING CURTIS AND OBSTRUCTING PARKER?
