All the women have big busts and barely any brains, if any at all. All they do is talk rubbish and take up speech bubbles for n/r. All of them are tripping over themselves to ingratiate and make out w/ MC. All of them are supposedly strong but somehow so very, very weak. The misogyny and disrespect of the male gaze is everywhere. MC's always tearing off women's clothes or being kissed by them FOR N/R. It's a frustrating read cause I don't like MC, any of the women or tl but I keep reading. Sigh.
If all it took for your best friend to drift apart from you was a scar, boo, that ain't a friend. Idk why you'd still be cool w/ a person like that, but let's just accept this overlooks a lot of things. The way MC talked about himself having a scar was the epitome of beauty standard toxicity. If you have skin that's not 'normal' and can't be 'fixed', the world is harsher but you're still human and beautiful. Nothing amazing; passes the time, Ig. SN: They keep calling MC stupid? He isn't though?
It was cute at first but now, I'm furious and disgusted. Fujos never fail. Helping them is fine but projecting STORIES onto rl rel's, your brain is out of whack. Seriously, calling boys stupid when your brain is that jacked isn't even funny. They're taking away the special meaning of a normal rel/romance just cause it doesn't fit w/ fujo stereotypes and fetishes. That's terrible and demeaning. Their rel is cutest when they DON'T listen to their sisters and enjoy. They know best for themselves.
This certainly does some things diff from the novel. The novel always felt depressing, uncomfortable and nerve-wracking, although Idk what made me feel that unsettled. This for sure feels lighter on the angst, but the romance scenes, omfp, so censored that it's not even lighter, it's like altogether weightless, hahahah. It's always funny to me how they chose to tell him he was adopted cause they clearly didn't want him anymore, but then pretended it was his teenage mentality that chased him out.
