It's true their whole sibling relationship is fictional but from a purely narrative perspective, it was unnecessary and it ruins Gil's character which sucks cause I think he'd make for a good end game. The one chapter where he's suppressing his urges because he's aware Cecilia only sees him as a younger brother. Huge ick. Oscar is a much better choice comparatively and I find it endearing that him and Cecilia have the same overthinking/jumping into conclusions tendencies(see. the misunderstanding with Eins lol) which easies up the whole "running around in circles" plot. He's just not my personal cuppa tea tho ¯_(ツ)_/¯ atp, make it a Yuri and pair Lean and Cecilia PLEASSEEE
It's strangely realistic? Maybe because I heard stories from people whose lives are so unnecessarily messy like this story. Especially the whole teenage first love, I unfortunately resonate with that huhu. But I get why people wouldn't like this. Story wise, very chaotic with a lot of useless events. The sex scenes were so uncomfortable and did not add anything but depression :/
