Ew.
Also why didnt she correct the servants??? I dont understand why she has this habit of not clarifying s*t when shes not in a position to need to keep them a secret??

I hate the brother so much, but also this is such a weird place to end it?!?!

Its not love if you have to manipulate her dude. I swear to god if you go along with this bs

I feel so bad for Miguel. Like at least Carcel and Ines have each other, he's got no one now

No ones forgetting it. It just doesnt make anything hes doing any less s*y. Much like how coping mechanisms that result in you abusing someone doesnt make you suddenly not absusive, Riftans trauma resulting in him emotionally blackmailing Maxi doesnt suddenly make it not emotional blackmail. 

I mean the only one actively using him is the brother. Jaeyi needs to not take the valid emotions towards his brother cropping up because of his behavior OUT on Ideum, but at this point he isnt using him to get back at his brother. 

I don't. As a child maybe, but he was still the same selfish a**e through his teenage years and clearly hasnt changed. I dont feel anything for him and Jaeyi doesnt owe him anything at this point. My only gripe is that Jaeyi needs to stop taking those emotions out on Ideum 

I mean I dont think he needs to speak with the brother, hes lowkey a selfish a**e. He just needs to stop taking it out on Ideum

Wait do we know this guy or??

Yes Maxi! Stand on business girl, you deserve to live by your own rules. I know shes going to absolutely blossom in Nornui

I really need Maxi to say something 

Real

So is your issue that is happens at all, or is your issue that it happens in BL specifically?? Cause by your own admission, it happens in F/M romances, but that doesn't suddenly make it BETTER. Its problematic elements, toxicity, or just plain not being your taste shouldn't be reliant on the genders of those involved, and if it is that's incredibly weird. If you dislike it all around or enjoy it all around that's fine, but cherry picking where it's acceptable as if the gender of the characters is the decider on whether or not its a s*y trope is kinda hypocritical because the dynamic doesn't change. If you view it as a shittier romance trope, then it's just a s*y romance trope, not a s*y CISHET romance trope specifically.

Also is this coming with the implication that the trope would be fine for you if it was Ideum getting jealous?

I dont know why people are so intent on Jaeyi falling first I think its more fitting of the characters (and more interesting to me personally) that Ideum falls forst, but Jaeyi falls harder and ends up the one more ride or die between them.

I think its more interesting if he ends up being the one to fall harder. Ideum falling harder would be a lot less satisfying than him falling first. 

I mean the trope is one fell first, one fell harder. So I think its fitting (and a lot better imo) that the mc falls first, being so desperate for connection, but the ML falls harder and having it be the first time he cares about someone so much in the romantic and sexual sense.

Ngl I think its better for Ideum to fall first and Jaeyi to fall harder. Ideums been deprived of any sort of connection for so long, but Jaeyi is used to jumping around, so it makes sense for their arcs too.

I think Ideum is first, Jaeyi is harder

Why wouldnt it be? 😒 She very explicitly lives in a normal a*s apartment and has neither standard security nor special security measures. As for why she wouldnt, she believes her family owns the town and shes arrogant enough to believe she can beat up anyone she needs to. Given her characterization till now, she has no reason to believe anyone would be willing to try breaking in, so she never defended against it.
