I'll be real, I like these stories cause the women are grateful, and are given a direct reason to be
It's like inverse princess disorder
Haven't read yet, just saying grateful and/or psycho characters are my favourite
Might be shallow writing though, dunno
Edit: Ch1, It's alright
1:5 had the males have prince(ss) disorder instead, and talked about the details of that, enjoyment to be chosen mutually, mutual gratefulness
How tough mentally you have to be to get your effort/hopes up to the most they can be each time (for best odds), to then be rejected, constant heartbreak, all while competing with others
Boy bars, paying for attention, which is a very pride-crushing experience after-the-fact, but it does deliver what's paid for
Social media bragging even more effective and mentally draining
The "What are we"/"(What do they see me as)" being extremely dangerous, as feelings can take time to develop so time is taken to develop them, but as time continues without confirmation then odds of also losing them increases (pressurised/delicate, one wrong move, no redos)
Also of course, jealousy, many consequential details can originate from it, revenge, betrayal, (driven to) isolation, or the results of these, withdrawals, crises, distrust (1:5's ch7 is a show of this, love betraying best friend, no control over jealousy, emotions, holding back hurts)
There's so many things to play with by just messing with social customs a bit, I hope it's expanded upon (Gender segregation could become "progressive" (or extremely regressive), royalty, military service, is paternal abuse tolerated, are divorces frowned upon, etc, I could spitball all day, because it changes the social norm, which is rarely ever done in stories)
