It isn't just that it is also the big brother/ little sister trope. Like we grew up together like siblings but I have feelings? Oh we aren't blood related? Then I guess these feelings I had for you weren't strange at all.
Me: No! Just because you know now doesn't mean you didn't have feelings for your sibling.
.....
You basically explain almost every plot of manhwas....
But yeah, I just want them to stay at siblings. I would be so cringe if it was something else. I swear, I will be so uncomfortable, if it was something else. They are first cousins. The story is already really great and I enjoy the cooking and everything. But you know what? What is it with that cover? I mean look at the book cover. They're both standing over her like two male leads that are Rivals. What is up with that? That looks so misleading.
Yep... it's awful how they demean familial love and relationship to being blood tied only.
Truth is that kind of relationship was something created by the p*rn industry cuz there was a market for inc*st but they couldn't depict it cuz it was a crime... so... step family, cousins, uncles and non directly blood related were used instead cuz it was close enough. It is a whole genre called fauxcest, false inc*st, that's actually very popular.
The worse of all is seeing many young women (the target of these romances) saying things in the comments that usually comes out of se*ual predators mouths. They are not really siblings, She is not really my daughter, We are just cousins, It's ok as long as we are not blood related. They don't see each other as family.
I'm happy with this one and the My 3 tyrant brothers setting good examples...
The sheer anger and hate when mid story I found out the oldest brother was the ML in Beware of the brothers!
I was like hell I bet your parents are hella proud of you in the afterlife huh? They must be contorting in their graves. And they both had nice marriage partners!
Now I have to check the comments on who's the ml before reading anything that has siblings or family in general. I don't wanna go through that rage ever again... (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I am still reading Viridescent Crown because they never grew up together and never acknowledged each other as family. It makes it more tolerable for me but I get you. Precious sister is just....I don't even....I don't understand how it gets twisted like that but the story/translation isn't that great anymore I'm dropping. I don't like that the Siblings are capture targets in Death is the Only Ending. Like I get you never acknowledged her as family but she looks so much like your sis that just, no. Luckily she also thinks they suck.
The ML will be the Duke he and the prince are on the cover because they killed her in her past life and had an attitude flip. So I had to go through my list for proper sibling relationship other than and I've got
I Became the Ugly Lady
Don't Call Me Sister
The Great Wish
My Three Tyrant Brothers
