One of my favourite things about the end of The S-Classes That I Raised novel (major spoilers ahead),
is the realisation that the reason why Yoojin and Hyunjae's relationship looks so much like a love story at times is because it actually, honestly is.
Like, we know that sctir is a novel about love since the beginning, that's not surprising. Yoojin's capability for loving monsters (both literal monsters and the human kind) and the power of that love is at the centre of the plot.
But by the time you get to the end, you realise - and the author confirms this themselves in their final Note - that Yoojin's relationship and love for 2 specific people was the true core of the story, and what allows him to save the world in the end:
One is, of course, Yoohyun.
And that love is absolute; you cannot say that it's inevitable, cause we know Yoojin had to make a choice when he was a child between Yoohyun and his parents, and he almost chose his parents, but from the moment he decided to love Yoohyun onward, then it was unconditional and eternal. It's the love of a brother, but also the love of a parent and a caretaker.
And the other person is Sung Hyunjae.
And that love is not unconditional nor inevitable or absolute at all. It's not something that can be taken for granted. We actually see, because of how it ended between them before the regression, and thanks to the White Bird's power of seeing possible futures, that there were so many timelines where Yoojin and Hyunjae would have never come to care about each other fully (tho they are always at least somewhat interested in each other, because their personalities are actually really compatible).
But the White Bird also sees that the only possible future where the world is saved is the one where they love and hold on to each other. And that is how the story goes!
So, just like a romance novel, the necessary end is the one where they both love each other and accept that love. And it's not easy to get there! It's a slow burn.
From meeting to getting to know each other, appreciating each other's skills and intelligence, finding out they have fun together but still not trusting each other, to working on building that trust.
They go from a strong but superficial mutual interest to actually caring about each other as people.
Yoojin has to go through the self-doubt of feeling inferior and fearing that Hyunjae will lose interest in him. Hyunjae has to learn to stop pushing Yoojin away because he doesn't know how to handle having someone he cares about so much, and also someone that cares about him, because nobody in the world (except in part Song Taewon) likes Sung Hyunjae as a person, he is only ever admired from afar.
And in the end, after going through ups and downs and a few "break-up arcs", they make it. They accept their own feelings and each other's feelings.
And that's when Yoojin makes the choice to use the power that the transcendents gave him at the very beginning of the novel, to save Hyunjae. Not the world. Not even Yoohyun! Just Sung Hyunjae!
Yeah, the whole "gather 50 S-Class people", the very thing that gives the novel its title. That is not a power that is used to save the world!! It was meant to, but Yoojin is "selfish", and he will always choose to save the people close to him first.
And being able to love someone so selfishly gives Yoojin the power to save the whole world, too. As a bonus! A reward. Just a side effect.
So yeah. Is it romantic love? No. Canonically, there's almost no romantic love in the whole novel.
But is it a love story?? Yeah. Absolutely it is.

Han Yoojin as a person is incredibly good at coping with everything that has happened and is happening to him, which you can tell by the fact the he literally goes blind from stress the moment his L-rank fear resistance is turned down.

Sung Hyunjae is soooooo silly. The Man of All Time. The Man who will always put himself first. The man who loves himself the most. He, who stands above all, yet has absolutely no freedom over his life and death. Sung Hyunjae, fated to never love any human but 2 specific people. The man created to destroy him and an ordinary man who loved so much he molded flame into a human. A skill. An item. Partners. Silekia coat. Exchanged for nothing but a promise. The man who trusted himself above all put his life into the hands of an ordinary man. Words written on the palm. Sung Hyunjae. Seseong guild leader. Promise to go to the aquarium. The him of the past. Who gave up all hope. Decided to help the him who wishes to survive. Postcards that never arrived at their destination. Sung Hyunjae. Seseong guild leader. Aquarium. A birthday promise. To never disappear, to never go away, to never change. Shj. Guild leader. Aquarium. Tears. Sadness. The fact that that ordinary man will die someday. The sadness of not being able to live with him. Seong Hyeongje. Jupiter Guild Leader. Aquarium. What's a guild. What's an aquarium. I am Sung Hyunjae. The seseong guild leader. I promised to go to the aquarium. But with who?. A thread. Pink yarn. Birthday present. Han yoojin. I love you.

Spoilers up to chap 303 of tsctir
When you're on your Enneagram bs & realize that Sung Hyunjae is self-pres/sexual 7 & Han Yoojin is self-pres/sexual 2.
...the fact that they both prioritize self-pres instinct while wielding the sexual instinct second would explain some of the odd chemistry in their semi-transactional relationship. They both are, or at least were, using their growing connection with the other as a tool to satisfy their own needs, and both of them see this as reasonable and fair because they know the other is doing the same thing.
Hyunjae only rejects the chemistry between them when his dominant instinct is threatened... needing to risk his arm to help everyone get out of the Japanese dungeon bcuz of whatever funky stuff Yoojin's got going on. He literally says to Song Taewon, after running away from Yoojin, in ch.296:
“No matter how much I like him, I come first. He’s mine to the end, and while he’s something I treasure, the one I value is myself.”
No wonder dude spirals out of control until he's literally contemplating wiping Yoojin off the face of the planet. he's a pleasure-seeking sp7 that ensures the satisfaction of his needs by building interpersonal alliances, & the passionate, dreamy energy of his sx7 instinct serves that end. if the focus of his current passion is abt to risk his survival, if he's gonna have to start making actual sacrifices, then it makes sense that he'd think abt cutting his losses. but... he doesn't want to kill him. cuz he liiiikes him. so he just ghosts him lol
& Yoojin's reaction to it is so freaking funny dude. he's like a crazy ex Hyunjae broke up with over text. & that makes sense, too, bcuz he's beginning to actually care about Sung Hyunjae in a non-transactional way, so Hyunjae just up and ghosting has to absolutely trigger the 2's fear of being unloved and abandoned, like it did when he thought Yoohyun abandoned him pre-regression. and because 2's are hiding insecurity and entitlement for love & attention behind a veneer of altruism, which wells into anger & resentment if they don't get the love that they're due, Yoojin literally threatens to blow up his house if he doesn't respond to him. and does, like, a 24 hour death countdown before barging into Sung Hyunjae's house when he STILL hadn't responded to his texts lololol

S-Class Hunters That I Raised is so many things
(Various series spoilers for the novel and the manhwa):
It's about wanting to do right by your family and supporting and loving them. It's about sacrificing for the people you care about how that can destroy you little by little, and it may not even help the people you love, or even hurt them.
It's about found family and being a decent person.
It's about capitalism, classism, and the problem with mass privatization of public resources, as well as political corruption.
It's about mental health issues and how hard it is to get by without a good support network, particularly when money is a problem.
It's about Sung Hyunje and Han Yoojin flirting nonstop.
It's about different forms of caretaking, whether it's looking out for your younger siblings, your work juniors, your coworkers, your older family members, etc. Whether it involves making them food, giving them shelter, teaching them how to survive, letting them rest, or encouraging them to keep fighting. It's about how caretaking isn't always kind, and can go so badly wrong.
It's about abusive relationships and domestic violence, and how awful trauma is.
It's about being kind to animals, and also how expensive petcare is, and how pets are often luxuries.
It's about modern media, privacy and the lack thereof, particularly in re: celebrities, gossip, and spin.
It's about not forgetting to keep in touch with the people you care about, and that communication is very hard.
It's about greed and doing the right thing, protecting your own, and doing what's best for the most people.
It's about marginalization and fighting for a better future for all.
It's about old international anger between nations, in the shadow of colonialism, war, and totalitarianism.
It's also about an angry protagonist chidingly shaking a lobster at Sung Hyunje, aquarium dates that may or may not happen, heavenly bodies, affection, and the dangers of giving magic gunpowder to an F-rank Hunter with axes to grind.

I like how Hyunjae and Yoohyun would absolutely fight each other anytime, but the moment Yoojin overworks and hurts himself again, they team up and ground him. It's so goddamn hilarious. Reminds me of Kimcom and Kim Dokja.

"I can fix him" well I can come to him in the worst moment of his life and offer him a way to achieve any wish but lie about the possibility of bringing his dead brother back to life and instead turn back time for him so he can be with said brother in a different way that cannot actually make him forget the separate, dead version of his brother, but will make him repress his past so hard he'll forget he was disabled for two years counting. We are not the same.

Chapter 308 spoilers (again)
You can’t convince me Han Yoojin isn’t thrilled at the fact he gets to take care of a super power S Rank who is so handsome and perfect and getting power trippy over it (and Sung Hyunjae happily consenting even when unconscious because even when asleep, he’s flirting with Yoojin)
