That scene where he goes "don't let that guy touch you" isn't romantic at all its super toxic. He was drunk and he obviously tried to push him away. Don't blame the person who was sexually harrassed blame the one who sexually harrassed him wtf. And Akira was even worse on both occasions he was mostly drunk and he lowkey manipulated him into "getting to know each other" Minato is most likely scared all that shivering and the slump he went through and his fear of sleeping and seeing that dream. It isn't interest its fear and he doesn't know how to cope so he just assumes its interest.

At first I just didn't really like Helena at all and thought she was stupid and even if she wasn't she should have at least said something when Eris got slapped in the face. But now that I see her perspective and actions I actually came to understand and even like her. We're so used to women being pinned against each other and its so refreshing to see that the Prince is actually the main source of the problem. Both of their actions are understandable the past Eris, the new Eris and also Helena. I don't agree with all of their choices but each one of them has a solid reasoning for why they do what they do. After seeing Helena's perspective it makes sense she acts dumb on purpose to please nobles and her acting dense can sometimes make sure situations don't spiral out of control. It isn't her job to look after a moody prince who can't even keep his emotions in check. Neither is it Eris's job and I hope that both of them just get out of this situation as fast as possible and live lives where they can be happy.

Yahwi is so toxic like I can't. Do you guys know that a lot of longlasting trauma and effects can happen to you when someone you love is always changing their behavior towards you? That's exactly what Yawhi is doing, his difference in behaviour towards Jooin is not going to end well just because he's nice sometimes does not mean he's overall a good partner. Words are nice but they aren't enough and through yahwi actions he's always contradicting himself. This isn't good to Jooin's mental health at all and we can see that his toxicity has actually started to affect Jooin's outside relations. His now suspicion of Cain and the rumors at his college. I was also really mad at Jooin for being so easily swayed and I thought we could actually see some character development. But then I realized that Jooin is inadvertently being isolated and yahwi is the cause. The friends we saw in earlier chapters are no longer present the only person Jooin really talks to is Cain and he already feels strained with him now and on top of that all his previous spare time was spent with Yahwi. Jooin doesn't need romance in his life he needs change. He needs new people around him and new experiences. I love Cain but he isn't being completely honest but that same time you can't just be like I like you and I used to be your dog in my past life. Jooin's going to think he's crazy and in the state he's in it's not going to help.

I feel like Chan-il probably has like a lot of underlying problems. Like he feels like he needs everyone to like him and constantly forces himself to get along with other idrk.

Yes he did.
He's told him to not bother him and when Skylar left to go home while Chan-il was talking to his friends it shows Chan-il clearly went to go catch up to him to talk to him.
"Just going in the same direction" is such bullshit after it shows him matching Skylar's pace to be at arm's length by speeding up or slowing down with him. Thats an invasion of personal space especially after the person that told him to stop bothering him and avoided him.
The problem is his attire is so closely pertaining to Islamic dressing for men. Also the word "sheik" or "sheikh" is a Muslim scholar or someone very knowledgeable abt Islam and they usually lead prayers at the mosque. It may be fictional but personally, I find it a little annoying with this lack of proper representation and lack of proper research towards the Muslim community. I'm not to sure since I find it a bit disrespectful that they worship the sun god when Islam strictly states that God is not something we can describe as the sun and is the reason we have everything in this universe. And the fact that he's wearing Islamic attire is just... (I'm not trying to disrespect anyone for believing or viewing god as the sun I'm just trying to say that there needs to be more awareness when you're portraying someone that obviously relates to Islam) it also stems from a lot of orientalism
A lot of Arabs and people from the Middle East are Muslim (not all). It's frustrating to see this stereotype, when Muslims aren't being portrayed as terrorists they are portrayed as these exotic and romanticized stories to feed into someone's fantasies or "aesthetic"
Just cuz you say "it's not related to the real world or events" does not mean it is not offensive.
Also I didn't commit much abt how his skin tone is very fair and his hair is blonde since it doesn't matter what race someone is since they can still be Muslim. But I see that it's very colorist and fetishized and the author picked and choose what she wanted from the Muslim community.
