Well I'm sorry to say this But as someone who studies this stuff and studies pedophilic tendencies for a reason, This is kind of incestual and pedophilic for the fact that he was thinking about forcing himself upon a Minor let alone a child and also the fact that he grew up with him and considered him a "brother" so even if they're not blood related it is still incestual.
now let's say in another situation main characters parents get killed in family friend takes them in and said family friend has a child and then when they grow up they do not have any brother relationship at all more like childhood friends see in that situation then it wouldn't be incestual because they weren't raised to think of each other as brothers but were raised to think of each other as friends instead so in a way this manhwa is a bit incestual, pedophilic, and glorifying abusive relationships
My opinion is for Qin Xian, it could be considered as incestual, I won't argue with that. But Wang Yi, he supposed to make Qin Xian hate him so technically he wasn't a pedo as he tried to make him hate him, not grooming him and he didn't see Qin Xian as his love interest at all. He only feels that when Qin Xian gets older and tempted him but from my understanding is, it's just his sadistic side in him to use violence (which is wrong and that's kinda psychopath. His sadistic side happened since he was still a toddler if you can remember) >> and tbh, I don't know if this part is necessary, it kinda comes out of nowhere for me.
Anyway, from what I see, he didn't have the tendency to fall for the ML yet until the end of the second world so I don't consider Wang Yi as a pedo (of course, biting a minor is wrong) but is he a sadist and psychopath? Totally
i know it’s not real incest, but it still irks me. and in the second world, he may not see him as a love interest, but getting ”excited” by a kid is just not normal, and the authors made the uke a lot of times say he was excited for the reactions the seme did while he was in the body of a kid!!! that’s not normal at all !! but still, props to him for not acting out and being a decent human being despite his awful thoughts
Th story is so good, plot is hella interesting, was entertained the entire 75 chapters. but i have to say what the hell is up with the casual (nonbiological) incest and pedophilia?!?! i’m just shocked at how casually they added it in.. especially the pedophilia HAHAHAH still a good story tho
