i recommended it purely based on mc's (mostly perceived, lol) relationship with aris, which is never really depicted in any real weird romantic light from what i could tell. yes there are other love interests but that wasn't really what that the initial recommendations were about, just adopted children and their fathers. that first arc with aris' introduction is also pretty much a textbook wholesome found family if you remove the mc's sinister inner monologue from the equation. understandable if that puts you off though
