[full blown coke rant incoming cause i have no self control]
rou has no boundary at all. dude can be nice but also set a boundary. he knew yoshino is jealous but still chose to spend the night with another guy. no respect to yoshino’s feelings no boundary whatsoever. he didnt even realize how fucked up that was until hibiya whatever his name is told him. not even thinking of yoshino’s feeling until he was told to put him in yoshino’s position. oh NOW you realize how hurtful that shit can be when its YOU receiving it huh. narcissistic behaviour since vol one i see
ppl defending rou are all in denial cz if it were to happen to you, you’d be like yoshino but less forgiving lol. no intention to cheat blablabla yknow feelings can still bloom later, right? especially like this scenario like how many office affairs happened bc of situations like this, one is vulnerable another is ‘comforting’. dats why boundaries are important, which rou doesnt have lol
and dont remind me of his comment ‘if i were single’ lmaooo such an unnecessary comment wtf. why would he even say that? for what purpose? i’d take it as he is attracted to that guy but just ‘cant’ act on it bc he currently has a boyfriend. not wont act, but cant. cz if he could he defo would. what a shitty thing to say. ticking bomb before full infidelity happens. i wish there will be another volume where its yoshino saying those shit to another chara right in rou’s stupid face. see if he like it or not
and for ppl saying rou is just being kind and friendly like how he naturally is yadayadayada blergh if you cant set boundary with other people then dont be in a relationship, stay single and be kind or friendly with whoever tf you want. you can be kind but know your limits la brother. if you want to maintain the life you have when you are single, dont be in a committed relationship duhhh. rou still cannot shed his single mentality dats why he didnt even think of yoshino’s feeling throughout the whole act
tbh i think their age difference plays a part, rou is not emotionally matured and smart enough to think of nuances in relationship. and yoshino himself is clearly insecure cause he thinks rou is still young and might want to ‘experience’ things more. actually my point is just that yoshino deserves a handsome dilf who can give him emotional security. thats it. a whole diff seme lmao
and another thing that pissed me off is that the first three chapters are literally all about rou and the other dude, yoshino’s barely there lmao he’s getting sideline by the author like how rou sidelined him
this remind me what an ass rou was in first volume and he isnt getting any better here too lol i shall conclude my coke rant here if you r going to defend rou behaviour in the reply, dont. you can talk to the wall instead

you know what, now that i think of it, isnt he a professional manipulator in last volume? he was very much sensitive to other people’s feelings. he knew when people like him and manipulate their feelings so they would confess. and heck he knew the things to say to intentionally hurt yoshino so yoshino would ‘give in and confess’ on his own. he was that intelligent at reading people’s mind and feelings and nowwwww you want to tell me he isnt aware how his ‘full-of-kindness-act’ to the other can hurt yoshino when they start dating? ohhh fvck off he defo knew for sureeee but he just doesnt give a fvck
shit i might be wayyyy too invested gonna go touch grass now lmao

EXACTLY. he knew how to attract people by treating them kindly since they reacted so cutely. and now we’re supposed to believe he’s just some clueless golden retriever who didn’t even know “if i were single” might hurt his actual partner? he knew exactly what he was doing, just didn’t care enough to stop
i came back here after reading the vol 1 and even more pissed of him. that ‘clueless’ thing was loud from the start and get more pissed seeing people defend him like did we even read the same manga
yoshino is the whole green forest one instead of him sigh

So i think some ppl just call him “green flag” bc he fell in love with yoshino for his personality instead of looks, like he was watching yoshino helping ppl and then becomes inspired to also help ppl like that (bc of course yoshino is an angel who makes the world a better place) so i agree that it is very bare minimum.
I don’t think he is a redflag because this is nothing compared to other redflag semes, but he is probably orangeflag because of the repeated insensitiveness. he thought yoshino would be fine bc he already explained it to him and yoshino didn’t say no. yoshino is super nice ofc he couldn’t say no. I think he cares about yoshino but he is just immature…in vol 1 he actually couldn’t guess what yoshino was feeling at all. He was like “i don’t understand why yoshino doesn’t just confess to me” when obviously yoshino was already feeling unwanted. At least the characterization is consistent? I feel a little sorry for yoshino bc he has to date such an immature kid. If there is a third vol or if there is a side story for hibiya and sui i really hope the author makes rou’s character grow up already.
Its a shame because they actually make a gorgeous couple like the extra was cute and fluffy i don’t understand why the author has to make up angst instead of just giving us 500 panels of yoshino being beautiful

man i remember reading the novel for this back then and immediately dropped it when shits not to my liking happened bc of what kael did. hope they tackle it better in the manga, we are kinda near imma let it marinate a bit more

i cant remember much details but what irked me to the point of dropping was.

kael basically without consulting hestia at all went and ‘forgive’ diana and ‘support’ diana in front of churches ppl (might be wrong on this kinda forgot already lol). he soiled all hestia plans for revenge, making hestia looked like a fool in front of others bc he basically show his support to diana while his wife was obviously going against diana at that point of time. he reasoned it out with to just forget about the revenge and for hestia to live in present with him
and hestia just kinda lost purpose bc she thought she isekaid to avenge kael but now the person himself forgive and told her to stop her revenge so what is she supposed to do. she also tot kael was still in love with diana thats why he forgave her. hestia was so lost and depressed she tried to commit *sui* sobs i truly hated kael when this happened lmao
and another thing that irked me was the fact that the crown prince was the one who had to come and told hestia that kael did what he did out of love for her not for diana. i mean tf kael stayed a coward up until that point he cant even confess and clear the misunderstanding even when hestia tried to kill herself? should have been a tender moment for hestia and kael but nooooo we need the crown prince to ‘save’ the moment for them for no absolute reason
lmao this is more like ranting instead of spoiling hahahsh sorry im getting heated remembering this
anyways yeah thats where i dropped the novel
hopefully they handle this better in the manhwa

Ok just cause its been a while, for reference chapter 90 when he says the stuff after burning the saintess' gift. Thats word for word from the novel translation
‐---------
Kaelus had a fundamental question. Why the hell is Diana coming to him?
He knew her relationship with Helios had deteriorated. But why does that lead to a change in relations with him?
In fact, it wouldn’t matter if he put it somewhere in the corner, but he would hate it more if Hestia was disturbed by that thing.
“Hestia. Hestia.”
He recited it a couple of times. A feeling that spread warm rather than hot.
came straight here to binge read after watching the first two anime episodes. its so good i hope the anime will get more famous and more people get to know this masterpiece
