Ethel used Father Figure on Elliot Rude~
It was Super Effective!~~~
Lol I like how ethel isnt directly the one to win over the strategist guy; its kind of annoying when a plot is basically just tranfering a harem from the white lotus ogfl to the actual fl.
Instead she just throws a warm but stern middle aged man at him, proving what i have always suspected: rather than romance, what these ml's really need is a father figure to tell them he proud of them
I actually really like that the ml is so set on finding the og guy. These possession storylines always seemed like a depressing concept to me, like oh your life sucks balls and everyone hates you, but now youve been possessed by a cooler, stronger person and now everyone who bullied you suddenly loves this new guy. And absolutely no one notices that "you" are gone. So i like that *someone* is willing to mourn for the real Iheon.
Dang i was kinda hoping it would just end with him being dead... like i didnt hate the top or anything, i just felt like itd be a compelling way to end the story.
And honestly i think more toxic yaoi should end with murder rather than some bs unearned "happily ever after". Some of these blackflag yaoi will spend 100+ chapters convincing you that a top is an absolute monster, then tell you with a straight face that the uke actually loves him. I just think it would be more narratively satisfying to see some of these guys get fuckin iced











I thought when ml was explaing how he wanted to be with mc forever, and then his dad told him he could no longer see *that boy*, that this was the point in time where he realized he was gay for his bestie (his dad def knew he was gay at this point). Especially since he then started this whole fake marriage plot just to stay by his bff's side. But it took this idiot until *after* his marriage to suspect that he felt more than friendship for mc?? This man is denser than your average pg13 harem protagonist
