It's only in chapter 22 when I actually decided to read their sex scenes instead of scrolling past and ignoring them. Their previous ones were so hard to stomach because there was just so much...hatred and hostility in the seme's case. All I felt was second-hand embarrassment for the uke and disgust towards the seme.

Do y'all notice that a lot of Japanese bl manga seem to be written with the same pattern?

- Innocent uke falls in love with experienced seme
- Experienced seme has personal issues
- Those personal issues cause problems in their relationship, so seme pushes uke away/breaks up with him
- It's the uke that chases seme and they end up together again

Please tell me some of you notice it too because I've been reading Japanese bl mangas for years and more so recently and have been noticing this pattern so much from different bl manga authors that I thought I was reading from the same author.

Misunderstanding Trope is if the alpha seme was actually in love with the uke and he just had trouble expressing himself, and the uke misunderstood. But the alpha ACTUALLY did not like the uke back for years, and he BARELY started to realize he finds the uke cute before the pregnancy, which is why he tries to find a different sex partner after they broke the contract. The uke did not "misunderstand", he just took the alpha seme's actions as is. This counts as a "Late Realization of Feelings" trope, not a Misunderstanding Trope.

I honestly find Zigril being jealous and possessive of Kay adorable I loveeee semes who are like that, but (raws and novel spoilers ahead) him being in denial everytime he's confronted about having feelings/being in love with Kay is so frustrating and harmful to their relationship.

Like later when Kay asked him, "do you like me?" his reply was no and that he was probably going to get tired of Kay soon. Are we surprised that it made Kay break down and not really give his heart to Zigril after that no matter what Zigril did for him? Helloooo why would Kay trust you enough to fall in love with you after saying that???

Not sure if it's just because the novel translation I read had some wonky parts, but to me the ending seemed like Kay just accepted his fate of being the mother of Zigril's child. He liked Zigril "enough", but I wouldn't call it love. Well, at least it's not a typical ending, I guess.

chalk answered question about read manga
I do believe in manga the stories tend to be more poetic and nuanced, but I'd have to say I'm not a big fan of what the Japanese tend to celebrate in romance. After about 15 years of reading I noticed they as a culture have this odd way of writing toxic relationships and abuse (even the subtle ones where the love interest is simply selfish/only car......
