I've read the novel, and actually it's her brother who will become yandere for her.. hahaha while Rahael kept on saving her from dangerous events. It's quite pretty good.. after chapter 100 I can't seem to find the other parts.
I ended up dropping the novel after reading a little ways past this point in the story because I just got this feeling that Raphael was going to become a yandere for Cayena and try to kill Olivia and Cayena's brother. I'm not sure if it's actually going to happen like that or not, but I'm getting a bit tired of the yandere male lead thing honestly.
Why do authors do things like this? Cayena is sitting here terrified of that H as*hole (forgot the name) who was married to her and obsessed with her in her past life and ended up killing her, and now the author is having more men being creepily obsessed with her? One of those men being her brother? They may not be blood-related, I don't remember, but regardless, NO. And is it suddenly okay for Raphael to be the one obsessing over Cayena instead of the H as*hole just because Raphael is hot? That shouldn't be a thing.
This poor girl (can we hire Melissa to jump into this story for a bit to protect her please?) is just trying to live her second chance at life, not wanting to have anything to do with these people, and as soon as she rejects him Raphael suddenly decides to show interest in her (another trope I'm tired of btw). And I get that that's not wholly what was going on there since her personality also changed suddenly and he didn't get it, but still. And then he starts getting more and more obsessed with her the more she tries to stay away from him.
And then instead of having her try to fix her brother and teach him to not try to kill everyone to solve his problems, she instead uses the fact that he's starved for affection to manipulate him despite knowing that he's a yandere from the book and her past life. Which, in case it's not obvious, is pretty much a guaranteed trigger for a yandere flag.
And the whole Raphael hates Olivia thing doesn't make much sense either, because if his personality is as she described from her past life and the book (which everyone has been so far) he wouldn't get jealous towards a girl to the point that he would hate her, just for being hired by Cayena. The inconsistencies in the characters annoy me. Especially since Raphael seems like he's supposed to be the male lead (at least I hope it's not the brother), and you tend to want your male lead to be as consistent as the female lead if you ever plan to have any actual chemistry between them.
Why are yandere's such a popular thing in romance stories like this? I don't get what's attractive about someone who would want to kill your friend just for being close to you and wants to make you completely isolated from all of your friends and family and literally the entire world. Why can't we have more wholesome beans like Nine?
