Lack of chemistry
Honestly. Yes. The romantic factor felt forced. Really did feel like protective and teasing older brother to younger sister vibe
100% i felt like the Romance between the two was forced.
It’s like he’s only chosen since he was her favourite character in the novel. And even then, it was because she was lonely and wanted a doting older brother…he should’ve stayed that way lol
I just can’t warm to Claud sorryyyyyh
Nothing to do with age gap tbh
Maybe it’s the power difference?
He did kind of manipulate and tease her a lot knowing she’s easy to manipulate and coerce
The romance just felt kind of coerced. I dunno.
I cry for Isaiah. He was protecting and caring for her from the start when there was no one else. He always wants her happiness even above his own and always seeks for her to speak up for herself and move bravely. He wanted to help her get stronger without being controllling. He deserves better and I dare say maybe Claude wouldn’t have liked the melody without Isaiah…
