nothingburger ship and an absolute waste of possibly engaging story, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
i was hoping there could be chance that this incestuous shit to be actually pointed out after reveal and get over w it for the better which, i accept, is way too hopeful but i genuinely enjoyed the main story and the characters so i thought the writer could make something meaningful out of this mess that's way i continued to read but as u said i will not be continuing after this (also the day ruined thing is a meme and im just a bit dramatic person who likes to state my opinions dont take it srs)
not really. the problem i have isn't just about their dynamic, a story involving such incest-like or overall toxic relationships can be written well by taking the dynamic itself seriously without romanticizing it and forcing the reader to think critically about the relationships which makes it an engaging story in my eyes (i think unchanged man is a very good example you can read it here it does a really good job). i didn't like this one because it's simply dogshit and quite boring in my opinion
ok i think rian is acting like he's courting enzo and the sudden development in the relationship dynamic is because he's actually actively doing the things he is trying to teach enzo for the meeting and enzo will finally get that after he gets played, at least that's is my hopeful take because i cannot imagine a headstrong and sly character like rian to be subdued just like that he must have a plan of some sort









im glad the mother step up, lover her for that but i wonder why he is acting this terrible even tho his whole family is chill like these kind of bigotry and hatred very often learned from family so it feels out of place rn, maybe elder brother went through something, not that justifies his behaviour but i feel like there is more to it in his reaction
idk, some people are just idiots.
Also obsessing over gender roles and being macho might seem benign to many but it comes preloaded with a lot of bigotry and prejudice. It doesn't have to come from family, it's everywhere anyways - school, friends, TV, society as a whole.
