Why did the top say this????? What an out of pocket line. Its like the author wanted to write an unhinged, toxic seme but only knows how to write vampires

The way this has been uploaded is wildly confusing

This is totally just my opinion but Im curious if anyone feels similarly or if I'm way off base. I was kinda bored by the fact that the uke broke so quickly and then just stayed that way for until the end.

I though this would grapple more with "the meaning of life". Like what drives a human to keep loving despite having such short lives vs an immortal vampire. And like... it kinda does, but it feels very... shallow.

The entire second half is just characters meandering through locations, repeating the exact same thoughts in a very Poison for Kuzco maner that never let's us delve into their motivations much deeper.

If you cut straight from ch 3 to ch 6, you dont lose any information. This feels like a lot of nothing dressed up in an expensive gothic horror costume and nothing else.

Idk. I was just... expecting something.

I waited until winter to read this for the aesthetic~

Worth it.

BUT actually kinda not. Furuya's works always have this atmosphere to them and I usually love them, but this one just didnt go deep enough into the many different psyches of its characters.

When the teacher asked Itsuni if he had hobbies, I was expecting that to TRIGGER a deeper ecploration of Itsuki's character. Theres a specific kind of angst you can get out of a character who is naturally talented at everything but has no interest in anything and that driving a wedge between him and everyone around him. The poor kid stops doing ANYTHING out of fear of triggering other peoples insecurities. That's heavy. I want to see an exploration of that.

The ending is unsatisfying because it's trying to pay off on a plot thread that was never adequately set up--Yuusei's writing. Why did he stop? Why did he start again? Did any of that have to do with his feelings for Itsuki. I thought we were going to get an exploration of that too, but if just didnt go anywhere.

This story really dragged on of my personal insecurities into the open and then didn't interrogate it at all, just brought it up in passing and then went to play hacky sack at a park by itself. It had nothing Monday about the interesting threads of its characters, rendering them boring and without a real resolution.

really had Thoughts about this one i guess

Even crazier is fuckin in front of all your coworkers and not even knowing they're still intelligent

What a wild story

Technically this is a punch and slap counter but it's close enough.

Idk why I was just surprised by the amount of times the characters punched each other. It was like the eact same drawing for each punch too. That's almost one punch per chapter.

Nope! Just an asshole.

One moment they're talking about design, the next they're sucking off in a closet. Then it's back to negotiations. Then suddenly fucking in a bathroom.

It kills the momentum of both plots and makes them hard to understand. Also I just fully don't buy that either of these characters like each other. More importantly, I dont buy that the seme is at all competent at his job, which just makes him an asshike

Kaito pls save your boy he's going through it
