Yo wtf? The MC is 16 while the ML is 20+??? Someone spoil for me that this won’t be pedophilic like???
MC is only 20 at the beginning of the novel. But I wouldn’t say this novel focuses on romance. Nothing sexually implied until the extras which is at the end of the novel where MC is overage. They do catch strong feelings when MC is like 17ish I think, but it’s more like a bond of deep respect and care for each other. There are like, 3 kisses total so far. Very shounen ai.
Your concerns are justified. Don’t let people on this site normalize immoral behavior for you. It’s bl, I won’t say I’m not guilty of reading toxic story lines but I think it’s good to acknowledge and question these troupes. It just makes other uncomfortable sometimes because they feel complicit but if they’re bothered they don’t have to reply to your comment.
They look too much like siblings .
