@HASHI i do agree with that they didnt give them any developement time and so forth but i'm guessing the author didnt know what to do with the brother since he was probably more well liked than the main character. but from the little that we saw the brother had a female counter part too so in a sense i'm assuming the same way everyone hated the girl mc was chasing they'd probably hate the female counter part for the brother but who knows. personally i'd prefer if there was little to no romance and just focus'd on character dev. and instead of making the brother be one of the greats disciples just had him join a large sect. the author did make the brother a huge focal point due to that one detail. in a way it is sort of poorly written in that aspect. and it does suck like you said they didnt even get a chance to bond or the mc didnt evenk give his brother closure when he found him in that state. feels like the author didnt know what to do or how to handle scenarios like that

@degenx yh it's kinda wasted. And the romance could've been good even if it was cliché, the problem was how they portrayed the girl, she's like someone who doesn't know how anything works. She can't see that her beauty was causing trouble not only for the mc but also for her own family since many was after her. What sealed the deal about her for me was two things. First one was when her father decided to take the mc as his heir, he explained to the mc that he knows he has many enemies due to his power and actions, and therefore he'll pass all of that to him too. Now with a reflection like that, a father like him would also educate her daughter to be careful and show her how the world works for someone of their status, and yet the daughter was acting like a complete idiot, second thing was when she escaped at night to go visit the mc in prison, that's was so dumb, and the dumbest thing was the servants of the house agreeing with her to go undercover and covering her absence for a while at night because of "love", and because of that she not only got discovered by the enuch targeting her family, but a random mercenary fell in love with her at first sight, in just one night, undercover and with no one to protect her. Man this sh** pis*** off so bad. It made no sense at all.
