relationships probably don't look that practical let alone appealing to her
eg. how his father neglected her & went a bit cray after her mother died. & the treachery & instability in the royal family alone can disillusion anyone from romantic love.
since MC knows ML is initiating physical contact, she took that as him maturing into a man ready for marriage. and his affection can even be taken as unhealthy dependency. the ML probably even has this image of her on a pedestal (thanks to her calculated actions to influence him) and not who she is as a whole, so can we actually say the ML truly loves her? it's all a very clinical look at things, but that's honestly up to the ML how he'll disprove it.
REGARDLESS muh heart hurty over the ML's heartbroken face omg this poor dude </3
y'all i am SO readyyy for that yandere arc lol
i've been looking for this combo with the perfect balance for so long
most BL-themed isekai focus to much on the sex/relationship but none on the fun fantasy world building+ OP cheat aspect of your usual isekai
some isekais just queer bait and hint at deeper than usual relationships between male characters but only treat the possibility of an mxm relationship as a joke or as fanservice.
THIS. this is the kind of plot i was looking for!
this will prolly be one of those catalysts to make soye enhance not just her mental skills but her physical as well
'm reading the comments and there was one about the ML being an asshole to MC, and MC sacrificing herself for ML
like, did ML ever apologize to MC for treating her horribly? and if he does, does the MC forgive him immediately or no?
Yeah its true
Yhe fl will pull out the ml from the bath cuz its poisonous and the ml misunderstood the fl and punished her don't know what happened next cuz i dropped it
╮(￣▽￣)╭
illustrator+author: *pulls a netflix casting schtick where teen/underage characters are played by 20-30+ y/o models with a script and synopsis that screams 40+*
every single character: *keeps monologuingg how cool, attractive, mature, tall, strong etc etc MC is* *spouts lines literally no 12 y/o would say* *blatant ships for the MC* *MC repeatedly saying they all look like children to him but the narrative still has all these students having a thing for him*
several mfs in the comments: OH you think he's attractive? when it was mentioned on ch### panel 8372 line3883 that he is twelve? so you like kids? you admit you're a pedo? you make me so uncomfortable :) :) can you stop Sexualizing? this is so Problematic

it's a bit off beat, but it had some great chapters
i'm not saying american doctors are bad at their profession, but they take an inordinate amount of time and will charge thousands minus what paltry med insurance there is. understandable tbh considering how high their own student debt is from med school. this is more of a fucked healthcare system thing rather than their own fault bc i know doctors who explicitly go out of their way to recommend a more affordable means to get treated or lower the bill a little. all the things they wouldn't outright tell you in a hospital cashier, they will tell it off the record.
unrelated but
for one reason or another, i had a check up in the US, took a week for actual diagnosis+treatment that overlapped with a trip to korea. so i went "aight it's bearable imma just have it checked and continue treatment during the trip"
the korean doctor who treated me was like ":'( :'( i am so sorry :'( you don't have national health insurance so it's gonna cost you more than usual :'(" like he was robbing me at gunpoint and he felt bad.
lmao, i checked the bill and it was $1,600 LESS than what it would've cost me in the US and at such short notice too.
it was like a eureka moment where i understood that it wasn't just manga/webtoon fantasy trope that characters could be like, "o no i feel mildly unwell imma get checked at the hospital" because, unlike in the US, you really can afford to get checked for mild illnesses.
Damn, so healthcare is very expensive in America? Kudos to the Korean doctor!
Oh absolutely! America may be first in its class medically but ETHICALLY this shit is in 1402. A simple asthma inhaler will run you $230-$400 without health insurance. It’s horrible
can't wait for these new dudes to become varying types of sniveling widows once she's endeared to them only for them to find out she's gonna be dead as a doornail soon with no apparent regrets in life
they're not mad at actual human girls
most people are mad at shonen writers/mangaka who build up a good plot with a male MC but prove they know jackshite about creating female characters which says a lot about their sense of empathy. they only know how to frame them sexually, not as an actual human being w/c ruins story immersion.
don't reverse the narrative here.
of course there are incels who literally can't tell reality and fiction apart and project their anger from a harem character (who is often a badly written pixie dream girl) to actual girls and women. imo they need to be segregated from society
but majority of people who react badly to girl side characters being introduced are those that have experienced the jarring disappointment of a story they like being marred by tired, gross, sexist stereotypes that add nothing to plot progression. for girls who love shonen i'm guessing it's even harder.
welp, with all that said
i think it all boils down to how much you trust the author to handle character development.
I can relate to it. I'm so exposed to harem in shounen mangas that sometimes, if a girl is introduced in a certain way, I can sense that there will be harem or she will have a hots for him. It's uncomfortable because you'll think in the back of your mind if this is how the author or the target audience views girls in real life, but also, there is this feeling that a certain female character might ruin the story for you. I can only think of few female characters that are treated as characters and not as a plot device, a love interest, or a fan service. So, while it can be annoying to read comments about wanting to not have romance in a shounen manga, I can understand the sentiment.
Yes, I hope this one won't turn out like that. I've had good stories turn into harems or something. Hopefully this one will stay safe.
Yes this is also how I feel.
