Although his intentions are a little unclear, I really liked Iwata. In their date, they were having such a great time!
He made Haru blush slightly even. He lent him a DVD. Watched a movie w him.
The two dates that Iwata and Haru were in made me like Iwata more than the multiple chapters that Sou was in.
But, love is definitely blind and deaf so sometimes no matter how good a guy is on paper, if you're not in love w him it just doesn't work. Oh well.

Also, give Khaol a break. He's literally the God of Pain and not the God of Fluff and Falling in Love Immediately.
Besides, if he fell in love immediately with River then his whole God of Pain thing won't work as a plot point. That's like throwing away the love worth dying for that he had.
And it would not be as interesting of a story if Khaol wasn't kind of a dick at first.
That way, we get ~character development~.
The angst potential on this is HIGH and I'm excited!
I don't mind the playboy seme. I mean he's having consensual sex w people and I haven't seen him do anything asshole-ish at all, imo. But that's just me dawg.
