Please frame everyone as adult university-aged from minute one
This premise is too dark for ambiguous high-school coding. Make the campus university-coded. Make the characters adult. Let the marketing be clear that this is an 18+ dark supernatural romance with survival elements, not a cute desk-mate BL with surprise trauma. That clarity actually helps fans enjoy the mess because the show is honest about the table it invited us to sit at.
I like it because it makes the romance more tense without pretending the danger is harmless. As long as Jace keeps agency, I am fully in.
The rewatch value would be huge if they plant this visually before explaining it.

This is exactly the difference between dark romance and the story pretending harm is cute. I especially want the morning-after scene to show the cost.
Hard agree: the story needs clear adult framing and content-aware marketing. The `tone` angle is what makes it feel specific to this story.
I am seated, but I am bringing a spreadsheet. The rule should be readable enough that viewers can argue about choices, not confusion.
This is the kind of detail that makes people pause, zoom, and build theory threads. The `tone` angle is what makes it feel specific to this story.
I can see the edit already. It keeps the red flags from becoming decoration.
The visual idea is strong, but the consequence has to land in dialogue later.
Jade would clock this before anyone else and then pretend she is joking.

This needs one clean rule, one visible price, and one horrible loophole.
