Im close to dropping this. Seme is just so damn stupid idk how he can a an emperor.

https://m.shubaow.net/111/111011/ (you can translate the page to Chinese to English (although not that great you can start at Chapter 79 where he gives the red bean dice)
Seme regrets and Uke left him and Seme tries to get him back but it was a long hard path.

Normally I don’t care about step siblings like falling on love or smth (if they weren’t raised together, but they were) because they are basically absolute strangers to each other and only thing that connects them is their parents suddenly marrying. Normally I’m against shaming like if they fall in love cause like how I said they are strangers and u can’t control your emotions, but that’s if you’re like idk 17 and suddenly become family. Here the thing is different cause they grew up together and actually had this sibling relationship more or less. Also she doesn’t like it so like dude ew back off, u tormented her all this time and now u suddenly like her? Like wtf. Also how old is he?

Ok Cain got shipped to the academy for like since Aria turned back time and also till now give or take around 4,5 years? Can't really remember I think the story started she was 13-14 now she's about nearing 18 where she can get married alr cue Mielle sending her off with Pinonua let's say Cain is 20, so he has been in academy since 4-5 years ago to learn the ropes of running a countdom thing. So bare minimum contact unless you count holidays and the occasional visit back. Yes they did grow up somewhat together but it's not in direct contact every day

Aria was never in a “sibling relationship” with Cain or Mielle. Those two siblings hate Aria and Aria hates them. Plus Cain was sent to the academy far back when Aria was little. They grew up in the same resident but they are still mere strangers. I also agree with you in one way or another: i also like step sibling love stories where they meet after a decade or smth or fam just got remarried, but with Aria and Cain’s relationship, this is exactly the same as above. Cain coming back a decade later and yada yada...

How is she nearing 18 when they highlight all the time that she’s 15? Also yeah I get that, but she came there when she was like really young, from her flashbacks she was like REALLY young. And even tho they might’ve not spent a lot of time together, she herself finds him as her brother, she said if herself. That’s why it’s weird to me. If both sides liked each other I wouldn’t mind but she sees him as her bro and also he was always absolutely awful to her and now suddenly likes her cause she’s pretty? That’s not okay

Yes I agree that Cain is being terrible and disgusting.
Timeline wise when she is reaching the time where she reveals as Investor A I thought she was going to be 18 but I think I remembered wrong since now becuase of hourglass she looks more mature. But I will say she's still within that range. I read the novel and she had passed a few birthdays but they never highlight the age all the time I may need to reread that again but iirc she was 14ish when she turned back time correct me if I'm wrong

Ya my mistake I'm going to reply to this " she sees him as her bro and also he was always absolutely awful to her and now suddenly likes her cause she’s pretty? That’s not okay"
Them as step siblings and Cain being:
5 years older annd
Was definitely very mean to Aria and biased towards Mielle
Suddenly interested in Aria after she's 15 and pretty
(Refer to Baron Burboom being embarrassed and APOLOGISING to Aria for seeing her in that way since she is not of age yet and definitely too young for him etc)
Yes that's not ok.
What I actually want to discuss was the logistics of:
If Cain is being shipped off to the Academy and has minimal contact with Aria during the past 2,3 years, and only now then he comes back because he'd seen her during Mielle's birthday and other events. (Again I would say it is minimal, meaning that they don't go out of their way to meet each other and actually bond with each other) I would think that Aria sees him as a brother in name but not actually being a good brother figure to her?
Like would this be considered as one of those "they were raised together" (childhood friends, ie not blood related relations, speaking in general) sort of thing? Becuase I don't see their rs like that so I said that Aria didn't consider their relationship to be so worthy that she considers him a Brother so to speak.

How I said she said it herself that she sees him as a brother , when she was like “Seriously? U like me? Ew, I’m still your sister”. Also again how I said I read a dofferent webtoon where there is also siblings as FL and ML and that one I see a bit weird but not like this one, they give off way different vibe. It’s just this story that it doesn’t sit well with me, that’s all.

They basically have no relationship with each other, they might be baddies at most and didn’t even go on a single date. How is doc having sex friend making him a bad guy in this situation

Thankfully this doesn't affect the story in any way. The problem i think is the writing, the scene serves no actual addition to the plot. Yeah it's purely fanservice or smut which is okay. But i think it should have been an extra maybe?
Generally, i adore the Uke. However, the entire story lines feels creepy with the doctor and using the uke naivety. It's similar to manipulation but on a lighter level. The uke does eventually find out about the past, and he gets mad.
If this was a love triangle story, i would have absolutely cheered the third mc instead of the doc XD
Also regarding the sex in general, i love the author style but... Like i feel she fails to deliver a lot. She has the talent but she doesn't commit to the sex and rushes it. Literally, this threesome chapter is the only detailed scene in the entire story. Why didn't she bother with the more important scenes... Like i dunno their first time? The friends side stories?
Why a scene that doesn't serve anything got a whole chapter while more important romantic parts were rushed off in 2-3 panels and worse sometimes it'll be a one panel memory the uke remembers. Just that.
Very unsatisfying :(

People are mad cause usually when someone is pursuing someone but at the same time f**king someone else it sends signals of insincerity in feelings.
But Yes i got irritated too . They are not in relationship and doctor only is interested in huyk mc .it's still not love. But here he is going to his sex friend like he did in ch4 when he used this orange haired sex friend as a surrogate for uke/mc and imagined uke/mc while doing it.
I just don't understand why he kisses his FWB the orange haired guy? Isn't it like he has feelings for him too? Do people kiss fwb? But spoilers
He will eventually reject the orange haired sex friend harshly when he gets official with mc/huyk /uke

I get u. I think tho he is just attracted to ikr now tho and doesn’t have feelings or want relationship so it’s kinda hard to say he’s insincere, cause we don’t even know what kind of relationship he wants. And yes people kiss with fwb, I have many friends who had those and did it without any feelings.

Casual sex like "wham bam thank you maam" or a sex where you see the partner just as a tool to relieve yourself is not passionate but kissing is always passionate to me. But i guess there's a difference between kissing the orange haired sex friend and kissing mc/uke cause doctor seemed blushed and hot and red while being with mc/uke in raws ...

Obviously everything depends on feelings, bet their sex will be more passionate to him as well. But u know just cause to u kissing is like that doesn’t mean it’s to everyone. In every manhwa with fwb that I read and real life stuff (my friends cause I didn’t have fwb) people normally kiss without feelings. So it’s not really weird
I know a lot of people don’t like romance and stuff and I still don’t think it really suits the story. But I actually don’t mind school stuff since I like high school etc stories and stuff. I just want him to put people in his place and be jealous of how powerful he is so I still really like this.
This arc is the darkest of all
