Why is that a lot of romance authors like the idea of a romance between step-siblings? Is it because it's like childhood friends trope, but they're even more close? Or sometimes, is it because you're getting super close to someone you just met, so your mind thinks that it's love? Is there anyone who has a strong opinion regarding this topic or just likes this type of trope?

I agree. I also treat my step-sister like my real sister. This also reminds me of "you're not family, because you're not connected by blood" thing. This statement undermines all family bonds between step-siblings or a parent and their adopted child. You don't have to share the same blood to be considered a family

this man seriously threw a tantrum over other country’s culture and now DEMANDS to get food for free? The audacity...

If someone served me a dog steak, I wouldn’t just get mad and storm out.
I mean I wouldn’t keep it a secret and tell people, just like how his religion should be known to the people of the palace bc they welcomed him.
it’s bc Lady arial was lacking and doing a shitty job that’s why that happened. and I don’t think it’s bc u r ignorant but more like bc no one taught u that there are other people with different cultures and religions.

The problem wasn't that the served him pork, but served him meat that wasn't prepared/killed in the method that was correct in their religion. Yet he acted as they knew about that and did that to offend him or smth and threw a tantrum. Also, you have to consider, that they were living in different times - nowadays we can just research all this information, but it was different for them. Lady Arial did a good job, it's just that she was lacking critical information. It's not like Lady Rachel wouldn't make the same mistake without Marie.

Why is that a lot of women jump in to protect men and insult other women? Aren't you a woman too? Can't you put yourself in this situation? I'm not only talking about "stealing boyfriend", but for example about rape too... especially in the family. A lot of times it's another woman protecting the rapist. "You seduced him while you're his *role in the family*!" or "It all happened because you were wearing revealing clothes around the house!". It hurts so much

So OG Raeliana came across the book "Beatrice" after a dark mage shows her future and she found out the truth and how she was gonna die and Beatrice was gonna live her life and fall in love with Noah, etc. So she went to the witch and used black magic to switch her and Beatrices bodies. When that happened Beatrices soul went to Korea and she was Eunha (but she doesnt have any memories of her past life). After the switch OG raeliana started to have problems in Beatrices body bc her soul doesnt belong in it, so she goes to Korea and kills Eunha to try to solve the problem. But obviously that doenst work, and Eunha just goes to this Raelianas body. However, for the both of them, since thats not the body that they are suposed to be in, thier souls are rejecting their bodies (which is why raeliana is sick/dying). Thats why this beatrice is trying to kill Raeliana, so that she can have the happy ending that OG beatrice was supposed to have. In the end, this raeliana (OG beatrice) kills this Beatrice (OG raeliana), and after this happens, the god from the world appears and explains everything that was going on and asks Raeliana if she wants to either stay in this world or go back to korea. She chooses to stay in this world bc Noahs here and stuff. They end up having a boy and a girl (rn raeliana is pregnant with their first kid) and its a happy ending.
If i missed some things or didnt explain it right sorry, i read the spoilers in the summer so its a little foggy but yeah
