Jude likes MC's bedhair/fixes it (even tells her not to show it to others in his "A day with Jude" event)

Jude gazes at MC longingly/lovingly when she's not looking

Him being silent when he is enjoying MC's company/silently being affectionate towards her (when he's holding her hand or gazing at her). He likes bullying and teasing MC but there are so many instances where he just quietly loves MC AND IT'S SO SWEET (thinking when he listens to MC singing happy birthday to him in his BDAY story sale too)

He likes being kissed on the forehead (ABSOLUTE SCREAMING!! MY HEART!!!) For this one I'm 100% sure he sees it as THE gesture of love, especially knowing his reaction in his event versus Nica (when MC kisses him on the forehead) and when he does it to MC in the Ghost Report event

Jude admitting -though only to himself - that if anything were to happen to MC (especially her dying) he would be affected DESPITE not being in love with her at this stage. This one is especially dear to me T_T there are so many moments (First-class ticket event, Bond story Love Tactics, Final assessment event) where he's repulsed at the idea of MC dying (his quote "Can't have ya dyin' on my watch. Wouldn't be able t'sleep.")

5 things to know before reading jude’s route (spoiler free)

its recommended to you if you like somewhat slowburn enemies to lovers type of development. featuring the matchmaker: ellis <- he is also like the one side character who provides more of the humor in judes route. although aside from ellis, there is not really much crown screen time except for one chapter.

on the other hand, if you are hoping to know more about vogel, judes route is not the route to expect that, as his story is pretty “isolated” or “standalone” even among act 2 routes released so far. nica make some appearance and makes some minor drives to the plot. its a good story overall but, the presence and the role of vogel overall feels arbitrary, relative to rogers route

kate does go through a lot of development throughout the story so, please don’t go too hard on her in the beginning.. (and besides that, for how questionable some her decisions may come off in the beginning, it is those very decisions that bound her to jude!)

as far as i remember, most of the premium stories are more so meant to be a deeper reflection of jude than anything else, in my opinion. its less of a reward for the reader and more a love letter of jude’s character. its on the lighter end when it comes to smut — compared to roger. as for alfons, he is in his own league so i wont include him jdjshgs

if you wanna know trigger warnings for judes route, here it is! remember, guys, don’t read things yk you r not comfortable with!
