I DESPISE STEP-SIBLING OR RELATIVE LOVE INTERESTS! THE FEM MC HAD THE MOST RELATABLE, AND HONESTLY CORRECT REPONSE TO LEARNING YOUR BROTHER SEES YOU AS A WOMAN AND NOT HIS SISTER OH MY GOD!!!!!
You have no idea how often I've read trashy shoujo that have the sibling as a romance option for the Fem Mc. I HATE IT! The fact that this is one of the few times I've seen the MC actively show fear/sadness/rage at her own brother for his feelings is so upsetting omg.

I don't care if they're pretty, I don't care if they're your type. Dating someone who is related to you in any way, shape, or form is disgusting. It's fine if you like the brother for yourself, you're not the sister, do as you like. But if you are actively shipping siblings/step-siblings together, you are gross. The past had to deal with that problem, and the modern day shouldn't. I can't stand seeing it portrayed in a positive or interesting light in any way, shape, or form. Step-sibling romance through marriage is gross; you're still siblings, end of sentence. It's so obvious to me that anyone who likes this trope has never had a sibling or is from Alabama.

Imagine growing up with someone all your life, spending your time around them 24/7. Through all the awkward phases, bickering, etc. It's not sunshine and rainbows; hell, sometimes you'll feel like choking them out. But overall, you have a bond that no one will have, one where you don't gotta put up a guard or mask because there's no point, they've seen all the ugly stuff already! And then you find out that your sibling likes you, not as family but as a real crush. Then what does that say for all the awkward moments? Those times you had to share a room? Those times you walked in on each other? Were they perving on you the entire time? Did you ever have true privacy in your own house? Were you ever truly safe in your own room???
I just can't stand it, as someone with multiple sliblings its a trope I truly despise with my whole being.

Sorry for the long rant, just felt I had to get this out sooner or later, and I'm here just celebrating the MC's disgust over this damn trope fr.

Guys I don't have anyone to talk abt this. It's making me scratch my skin rawr. I wanna yap abt this like the art? Immaculate. The women? Scrumptious. The main character? Fcking cool. The lord world hater? Yumyumyum. The characters design? Heavenly.

An occuring issue in manhwa these days is to make romance the main genre. This would be typically fine if the manhwa's plot is mainly focused on that aspect. However for a lot of isekai and time travel stories, this DOESN'T work.

With WMMAP and AIWTRO, the romance is a SUB genre, not the main. In the novel for AIWTRO, romance wasn't even a genre. The manhwa writers for some odd reason, seem to not understand the difference between MAIN and SUB. AIWTRO's main genre was basically revenge: the MAIN story was about Keira learning from her past mistakes to become a better person and dealing with Cosette.

I wouldn't have a problem if the manhwa author wanted to include romance as a subgenre since not only does that have a higher demand but it's what attracts most readers. My issue is that the manhwa artist has gone ahead, and basically rewrote the novel to become romance heavy when originally.. it had little to none of those elements. Keira's strong resolve, her relationships and improvements have all been stripped so she could become some shy school girl experiencing a silly love triangle while her HOMELAND is being threatened by a LITERAL devil. Everytime Cosette is brought up, one of the male leads to brought up afterwards and it's infuriating.

By far.. the most interesting factor of this storyline was Cosette. Her origins and goals have been the main plotline of this whole story.. yet she gets handled to the side like a pathetic side plot. Joseph's character has nothing built to him except for the fact that he's devoted to Keira.. no personality or goal. Erez.. most his character is mysterious which is intriguing but not for a male lead who is someone we should be able to trust, especially after 70+ chapters. Keira doesn't seem to even understand relationships, she only seems to like the IDEA of one due to all the stories she's been reading. Her novel counterpart was someone independent with pride yet that doesn't seem to exist here.

In all honesty, I'm not surprised that Jaeha committed suicide at the end of the original timeline. Not only was he part of the reason that his friends/teammates got trapped and killed in that tomb (even if it was unintentional), but any chance of at least one of them actually escaping was destroyed when he lost his temper and didn't repair their relics. It's sad but if I was put into that situation......I would've done the same thing
