right, like if you are contracted siblings, you act like siblings
Although I also don't like the scummy ml. I think his behavior is logical. It feels like his narcism that tells him that she wants him comes from his experience of having a lot of woman throwing themselves at him. Still annoying tho
i’m not talking just abt his thinking (though you are right) i’m talking about the story execution. i feel like there was a way to make this seem less like attempted SA but the power dynamics and the lack of a critical turning point in their relationship makes this appear very abusive. i agree w you and ik you’re agreeing that the ML is scum, but i felt like i should differentiate between what i was trying to say and what you’re saying is the logic behind his actions.
idk if i’ll ever like Cesare. this brother/sister thing is way too weird. if you’re siblings, just leave it at that. like, there’s no critical point where there’s a shift in mindset either. it’s always an assumption of her intentions that makes him treat her inappropriately that feels rapey, especially in ch 20.
