Adopting your lover kinda weird to me (as someone who's adopted) so imma act like those were marriage papers
Ma'am and/or sir, I don't know why you seem angry at me. I understand the sentiment of becoming part of the family since like you said, marriage isn't an option. I was only stating my opinion from someone's perspective who has been adopted. Obviously my situation wasn't with a lover, so I don't know those feelings, I can only state from my own experience. I didn't say it was a bad thing, it's just an aspect of that book where people coming from different walks of life will have different feelings on the matter
*Long explanation into my thoughts since I feel you may be misunderstanding where I am coming from and I'd just like to be clear*
I wasn't self inserting, but rather thinking about the logistics as someone who's gone through the system for adoption (more than once). I tend to be able to suspense my beliefs when reading so that I can enjoy stories fully, but sometimes when it's something I'm knowledgeable in, my brain can't help but return to reality Like in some countries where LGBTQ+ couples are still banned from marriage, they can still adopt a child together and therefore be legal guardians and through that process get some benefits as if they were married. And I know adopting a child isn't always doable for people, nor should a child ever be used as a tool. So just thinking about what adopting someone means in terms of family compared to what having a lover be your family is, and it just doesn't go together in my thoughts. So that's why I said I'd just think about it in a different way (i.e. marriage certificate) to help suspend my beliefs.
I wasn't trying to hate on the story or anything if that's how it came off. I quite enjoyed this story.
No I understand that you weren't hating on the story. Just thinking why some might find it weird due to their own environment and experience. I get why you may find this awkward haha. I also find a lot of stuff that's casually mentioned in Western novels weird cause I'm not really habituated with their lifestyle. But yes I just put it in the back of my mind and move on ig. Also this manhwa is in 2021. So that matters too ig.
It’s a fictional story with a fictional loophole that is weird regardless of culture, it’s weirdness is what allows it to exist because no one would think someone is adopting someone as their child in order to “marry” them. You’re upset because you think someone is being rude to that culture but it’s just a story someone made up so grow up and stop trying to stop someone from having their own thoughts about A FICTIONAL STORY. Good day.
So like. . .we calling the police or are we gonna have to suffer through this trope (._.)
You know we’re gonna have to go through the whole song and dance, and you know what comes next, time for Rui to attack Natori in an alley
((T_T)) alas, I was hoping to live in delusion. But I know you're right
