Mainly because I watched the animated version and finally put together that "two" characters were the same person and have feelings about it.
In general going through the plot again with a visual guide (Jiangs wear purple and Jins wear yellow which makes them much easier to tell apart!) has helped me gain a much better grasp of what's going on with all the secondary characters. And something I didn't get across in my first post was that the secondary characters are really well drawn and engaging and many have VERY AFFECTINGLY TRAGIC BACKSTORIES.
Since afaict literally nobody who follows me is into this I'll give some backstory in case anyone is curious about what I'm having feelings about. And if nobody clicks the cut at least I'll have vented about my feelings to the void.
I've been semi avoiding the fandom because afaict a lot of them are Chinese speakers who have read the whole book, or English speakers who looked up spoilers, and either way they are very dangerous to be around. I've already spoiled myself a few times just trying to look up names to remind myself who characters are. I feel sorrier for anyone just following the animated/comic versions since those are even further behind.
( Spoilers up to Chapter 65 )
