Do you enjoy misogyny? Authors taking actual recurring sexual assault, sexual harassment, kidnapping, home invasion, coercion, stockholm syndrome and NTR lightly? Putting absolutely no research into said contents and rattling them down in the most dismissive and disgusting way possible?
This is your holy grail. But not only that! You get one of the most egregious bait and switches possibly ever, the godly combo. The author doesn't even bother hiding their troubled mind behind the veil of sweet shoujo after a certain point.
Don't get me wrong! Yeah, you get a pretty damn good shoujo for about 20 chapters! Until his brother appears, that is. I clearly
...
won't spoil anything but you might just know where this is going. Somewhere pretty bad to say the least!
And the author somehow lost themselves in that one character and went "fuck it, this is my fave. I must be a genius, creating this godlike creature! Let's change the manga a bit to accomodate him even tho he has no actual organic place in the story. A small sob story will surely help! Let's also make him magnetically attached to the female lead! This will work! Somehow!".
BAM! Both MCs changed into damsel weak pushover bystander overdrive. They literally turn into two of those Buzz Lightyears on the toy store's wall.
So what if her portrayal is mostly distasteful by now?!? It is SO freaking fun, trust me! You just need to turn off your brain and enjoy what the author randomly forced to enable the brother! It is good writing, trust me! Even if legit 0% of what made this manga good remains!
I have hope! So what if chapter 29 has a literal super villain go "heh, you have been happily dating for 20+ chapters? No! Let me, a literal stranger, insert myself into your relationship. I already have infinite agency over both of you and I myself declare the quest of NTRing her!" with both of the MCs just agreeing mindlessly.
It. Is. Good. Writing. !!! Trust me. Her now allowing him to manhandle her in front of her boyfriend for the 10th time and only fight back when about to be kissed and violated for the 4th time after forcing yet another 1on1 situation is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL to the story. The quest! The adventure!
Women don't mind a bit of evil! Bad boys are IN. She HAS to be thoughtful towards him and actually engage him! Criminal past.. or, well, present be damned!
Yes, it is bizarre. The introduction of that overpowered character that has aura strong enough to bend laws and to change whole other characters simply by being in their vicinity has to be the author's magnum opus. Gold in mental gymnastics.
I do not take issue with authors having favorite characters. I do take major issue with authors forcing their ideal characters into a running and established work by changing important stuff.
If you were to tell me "yeah, that is a self insert and the author was probably cucked by their bro or in love with their partner" I would not be able to refute or argue against you, at all. Simply due to how the character is inserted and what they are allowed to get away with. Insanity.
The author does not respect their own creations. Not the world, not the characters, not the story. The author does not respect the readers. This is the lowest of the lowest possible effort in a shoujo and it turning into a personal mission midway through certainly doesn't help.
Why should anyone take their time of day + money and spend it on this.. steaming pile of self destructing dogshit, with all due respect and nicely said.
I for one can not recommend reading a work that has inconsistent characters, is deleting established dynamics to force new ones in the worst way possible, possibly dealing actual damage to readers with how dismissive some heavy themes are portrayed (this actually is a major gripe of mine) due to no research and comedy-romance > all (this manga is NOT funny at all, mind you).
