Like i’m not even kidding. Yuder spends like 30% of his brain capacity waxing poetic on Kishiars ability to handle his paperwork and micromanage troop morale, and Kishiar giggles like a schoolgirl when Yuder preemptively understands the deeper implications of assignments and dedicates himself to the cause. You come for omegaverse fantasy BL and you get two grown workaholics getting shared custody of The Cause.
And it’s crazy because it’s SO GOOD, and you’ll have been reading your millionth chapter and hit the part where Yuder shoots across the treetops on his way home after doing a good job on his black ops mission, sees Kishiar standing at his window with his arms open grinning like a loon, and when Yuder shoots toward him like a bullet and they go crashing to the ground together, you’ll think ‘oh, this is what I wanted when I thought shounen would be better if it was gay’
Lmaoo the office analogy
Honest to god, you said exactly what I wanted to say
YOU EXPLAINED IT PERFECTLY Like, they got no time to mess around and still show their affection and awe for each other in little details like some enamoured teenagers AND IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL
(god that scene you mentioned is so good, it was my Roman Empire for MONTHS)
"oh, this is what I wanted when I thought shounen would be better if it was gay" is exactly how I felt reading this novel
I'd like to inform you that i started reading this solely because of your analogies. If only shounen writers got over their urging need to get beaten up by women (can relate).
Slow!!!! Imagine a slow burn and then take it down to 0.5 speed and you’re there. The thing about the worldbuilding in this story is that it’s SO well developed, that two high-ranking military leaders in a brand new experimental corp who are also researching ecological disaster are understandably too busy to have a fling. The author isn’t playing around in this story.
Think office romance, then put the office in the middle of a 6 lane highway where the leads have to direct traffic, and they’re both VERY horny and impressed by each others ability to not get hit by cars, but it’s not like there’s time to peel each others clothes off. Because cars.
I say that and still think this story is 100% worth it, if you think it’s good now then it only gets better, and the author threads the needle between tension and satisfaction so well that it feels like omegaverse Odyssey.
Yuder is a great character and super satisfying to watch, the ML is a great character and 100% more genuine than he comes across, and despite the novel being 750+ chapters and still going (urk), I never felt like it was a chore to read and the arcs are all super memorable and interesting.
That said, I have NO idea how they’re planning to adapt the whole thing, god bless and good luck to the art team.
