Oh I thought her ex fiancé was the blond hair dude

I agree with your statement, but I will add as a reminder that second (and third, fourth, etc.) cousins are legally allowed to marry because there's almost no risk of any birth defects due to the diluted genetics from that point onwards. And if someone is marrying a third or fourth cousin, there's really zero risk of birth defects unless it's some extremely rare trait (which can happen in any setting, regardless of who you marry) or a [normal] complication during pregnancy.

:) I'd kindly mention they are not blood related. To double down on that, she is also mentally from another world. In addition, she is only seeing him again for the first time since he was sent away to boarding school -when the character, whose body she is now in, was actually killed by her step brother.

Otherwise, I agree that I am uncomfortable with blood first generation incest.. and other types but what I communicated was the law in my area so I leave it there and have a nice day

I know...my whole point was that their relationship isn’t wrong because they aren’t blood related lol

Although this story does not fall into this, but sibling dynamics can still be morally wrong- It is a power dynamic that we often do not think about and the ramifications that can have. While I get what you are saying from a physical/gene perspective but you also have to take in account the psychology of family relationships and the potential consequences.

I was agreeing with you.

this is actually what I'd pay more attention to. one generation of intermarriage wont actually do that much genetically, so as long as your descendants don't make a habit of it, you'd be fine. Also, that leaves the point of being in a relationship and not having children with each other.

The bigger problem is the unhealthy dynamics that get involved in a sibling relationship. In this case though, we could argue that as Yus left for boarding school, and she transmigrated in, they never saw each other as brother and sister.

I completely agree. I don’t think with this particular instance it’ll have deep repercussions, since they spent little time together and hardly consider each other as siblings. In most regular relationships it would not have gone down the same way for sure

wtf is everyones answer a fricken paragraph. Σ( ￣□￣||)

because we have nothing better to do than ponder the moral implications of webcomic cliches.

I feel the same. Having a dynamic that is both romantic and sibling is uncomfortable because sibling relations carry a very similar weight to parent and child, especially when one sibling is significantly older. There are power dynamics that are helpful in the familial dynamic that are destructive in the romantic.

While it's possible for childhood friends to go from a sibling like relationship to a progression of romance, there's still a removed step of they lived in different houses, they usually spend some time apparent, and there is usually a change of circumstances (puberty?) to make at least one of the pair view the situation differently.

Here the sibling relationship doesn't even begin in the first place. The original brother step sister rarely spent time together, he went off to school, she's from another world, so I give it the ok.

Amen

also, marrying a relative is kinda normal on royalty even now..

I don’t think there’s an English translation, but here’s the original Korean novel... https://page.kakapo.com/home/53939645
