Now why would you go and ruin a good thing like that, I get the angry sex appeal but offten it’s the result of shame after realising/resolving the issue. It should be “now shut up and let me fuck you” not “now I’m fucking you”, everyone is entitled to their own preference/ interpretation but ch 30 was just gross and uncomfortable

I’m honestly just confused at how fast things escalated, obviously it’s going to be some dumb ass “I left to deal with my dad/gain enough power to protect you” type bullshit. But I’m actually having serious whip lash over the jump from ‘voicing your annoyance at being left in the dark for the first time, to then leaving your husband and kid’ in just the span of one chapter…
If they didn’t have the time to cover it in the sides they should have found space for that shit in the main story or let it go

I was literally thinking the same thing. I honestly thought I had accidentally skipped a chapter because it was so abrupt. The flow doesn’t make sense at all. And written this way it’s also completely out of character for him too. It’s not like he doesn’t know who he is. Having secrets is literally the norm. I completely agree with you.

It’s really not that fucking hard, say no to the old bastard and tell J. He won’t care that you “almost” had his “brothers”child because 1 you didn’t and her know why, and 2 HE DOESN'T HAVE A BROTHER, THAT MAN IS AS GOOD AS A FUCKING STRANGER!!! LIKE HAVE YOU MET YOUR HUSBAND???
LITERALLY JUST COMMUNICATE AND BE HAPPY
They should have just made the girl homophobic or sm because the imprinting of her own trauma is doing too much, especially for a character we recently met and who genuinely doesn’t have a good sentiment with the community.
I get they need to address the elephant in the room of being gay in a small village, but there were so many other ways they could have done it. We don’t know this character enough to really care about whatever tf she had going on and I think because of this, her getting emotional fell flat.
Additionally the link between child neglect and being gay was very badly made, with that context it would have made more sense for her to be worried about the daughter growing up and facing challenges at school for having two dads causing her to have a stable home life but unstable social life (the opposite of her but still very harmful).
The way they link it to “otherness” is just so lazy and poorly executed.
i hoped so bad she had like internalized homophobia and comphet and feels jealous and weirded out by the two, but the "i was a neglected child" really came out of nowhere
Right? The author is already doing so good with the relationship between the MC and ML. And then suddenly, this? It felt like they wanted the story to have a conflict and just pulled this out of nowhere. Just as you said, it's poorly executed.
