Isaac is so smitten he devised a whole plan just so he can beat up Mel's ex and date her in one go lol.
I really like that they made Dominic out to be her over protective father/brother/uncle/sword and not another rival. I also like that the other male leads don't play a big role either and aren't even presented as rivals.

Not even getting into the stupid and flawed logic of the fucking rapist and his dumbass vendetta - I know this is fiction and probably, in some capacity, reflects the reality of dealing with rape charges - but the amount of glossed-over, "I'm hiding it for his sake" is so mind blowingly retarded I can't even. It is BECAUSE it's fiction that for once I would LOVE to see rapists get their ass beat right into prison. Give us justice damnit.
This whole neighbor-isnt-who-he-seems arc is a shitshow and the authors worst attempt at drama. Like who tf cares if your significant other had a high body count in the past if they're different now and don't do that shit anymore. jfc.

My biggest pet peeve for all "I'm going to leave the ML" stories is that the FL keeps mentioning over and over that she's going to disappear/not get involved AND YET behaves in a way that does the opposite.
The line stating "I don't want to be with him, but I don't want him to get hurt either" or whatever made me rolllllll my eyes because if you truly wanted to stick to your goal, you would've known logically he's obviously ok. Also did he not bathe or did he break dance in the assassin's blood to remain all stanky??
Y'all they communicated the whole thing in this one chapter!!!!! AHHHHH
and I really like that they made Theo a flawed character who avoids tough conversations because he's afraid of the outcome and is incredibly emotionally stunted.
Sorry, I was trying to upvote but pressed downvote
IKR!!! i always notice how he leans for a kiss in weird conversations and that means he either dont know what to say, or he dont what to talk abt that topic.
yeessss. so many stories make emotionally-constipated men out to be dark and mysterious with this whole "alpha male" persona, but i think its really refreshing that they made theo awkward and a little creepy lol
