You can tell this was not written by a woman because the ideas that mc A. Has D cup boobs that can be magically wrapped down to appear like a slender man’s chest, B. Doesn’t keep menstrual products on hand, and C. Doesn’t know what kind she uses (regardless of who usually buys them) are so ridiculous and unrealistic that only a man could think they’re plausible.

“I’m still unable to protect my child and the woman I love”, well yeah, because you’re the thing they want protection from. They weren’t on that ship for fun, they were running from him because he’s so uncompromising and unbearable. The only reason Rowena wasn’t on the boat too is so that she could stall him to give the others a head start.

So she’s mad that the world isn’t accepting enough of her when she’s literally worshipped and pampered as a saint just for existing. She took an engaged man on his what was supposed to be his wedding day, risking the life of his fiancé, then gets mad that Seria’s husband is better than the one she stole, that Seria doesn’t love her, and that Seria gets attention or is successful. If not for her cheating and disregard for Seria’s life and feelings, she would have no enemies at all. Lina’s marriage was made on the premise that they would divorce and Callis would be back with Seria. He knew Lina for only a couple months while he had been with Seria for years, but she sees it as a massive betrayal when he feels conflicted or shows basic concern towards someone he once thought he would be spending his life with. Callis was on the wrong for going out so close to ceremony time, but in that moment his only choice was to marry Lina or die, so not exactly an ideal start, but it seems like he has at least tried to be a good husband to Lina once he realized there would be no divorce or spouse swap. He literally said he would raise her baby no matter who the father was (before the tests came out). She’s the one who randomly assumed that he somehow decided to do that to be with Seria’s baby.

I get that Hongyeon gets annoyed about Taejon not spending more time with him since he tries to help his coworkers with relationship consulting, but if he wasn’t constantly interrupting and cutting those meetings short, it would take up so much less time. Hongyeon is actually really disrespectful with that. It may not be important to him, but Taejon has to,d him that he wants to help them out. He got mad that Taejon kept meeting with pink hair, but the only reason he had to meet with him more than once is that Hongyeon kept arbitrarily crashing the meetings, ending them early, and obstructing everything. Childish jealousy is never a good look.

MC better start hustling to get that child support ready, because unless he’s shooting blanks, he’s about to be a father in a big way. The average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, the average period lasts 4.5 days, and women are generally fertile for 6 days per cycle. This means that there is a 23.5 day window for sex (assuming nobody is having sex while on their period), during which there are 6 days which would/could result in pregnancy if one were to have unprotected sex (there is no mention or appearance of protection or birth control at all), basically 25.5% of sexual encounters. MC had sex 454 times between 282 individuals, so if you take 25.5% of that, it would result in 115 pregnancies. Even if you only calculated per woman (only counting each woman once and ignoring sex beyond that), it would still result in 71 pregnancies. Even if you assume that there can’t be any crossbreeding between human and humanoid species (which several members of those species have indicated to be improbable), MC slept with 64 normal humans 124 times, still resulting in between 16 (counting each woman once) and 31 (going by number of sexual encounters) pregnancies. That’s a lot of kids to feed, so MC better get to work. Just kidding we all know he’s just going to mooch off of his talented and successful girlfriends.

Comically performative shirtlessness. I don’t know what it is, but straight romance depictions of shirtless hot guys always seems random, disjointed, and performative. Why are you shirtless at this place/moment etc.. (fanservice obviously) when it makes no sense whatsoever. And somehow nobody questions it other than severe blushing/swooning. However, in most gay romance stories, the shirtlessness is woven into the story (pun intended) in a way that it actually makes sense (swimming, getting changed, working out, checking injury, etc..,) and when someone is shirtless for no reason, the other characters have a normal wtf of puzzled reaction. In straight romance it just feels awkward and out of place (no matter how hot the guy is, or is supposed to be)
Oh my god, Lina and Rashta (from Remarried Empress) are the only two characters that can make me want to tear my hair with every single thing they say or do! I kind of want to trap them in a room together and see which one survives. Does anyone know of any characters in a similar category?
Trashta… I still mentally call her Trashta.
