bro if the author wanted to sweep victor's shitty treatment towards heart under the rug, they wouldn't have written it the way they had in the story... he's the only "moral" person out of the 4 characters, the only one who havent fuck victor yet, and out of the 3 love interests, most of the emotional angst of the story derive from him. it's so obvious that the author is aiming to make heart and victor's relationship the most emotionally complex out of the LIs, bc victor has to learn how to love someone for their "heart", not for any physical aspects he likes, like head and dick. i believe victor will get his just deserts, but whether or not it's actually satisfying, we can judge when it arrives.
lets be so fr if their ages were within the acceptable range, people would be shipping it and say it's 100% bl. the author made it ambiguous, BUT if they wanted to make it explicitly clear it's not romantic, there were def some scenes they could've removed/changed, like the undertones were there. im not arguing for this "ship"-- but the author couldve made it romantic/sexual with adults mcs as they did in the oneshot, but they didnt here. and imo the ambiguity is a good choice that makes the themes more poignant, as it highlights that people from different walks of life or ages can become profoundly connected and their love doesnt need to be either romantic, platonic, or familial to be so life-changing or fulfilling. few authors can make an ambiguous yet incredibly deep relationship that can devastate a reader within 7 chapters, yet she did it successfully, crafting one of the best short shounen ai serializations ever imo. anyway ig im her fan now, even tho i only like 2 of her works

about an autistic assassination genius reconnecting with his humanity. mc and his sister are ordered to live normally without killing, but as they grow close to the yakuza members (who provided their house to live in), they grow entangled in their politics. it got cool action scenes without being overindulgent, cool and badass characters, and hilariously stupid comedy, and every arc leaves you with a bittersweet feeling.
so i read the novel, and it's basically an origin story of that disgustingly sweet, romantic, cheesy, perverted gangster and his wife couple, who are mutually madly in love and lust with each other
when i first saw this story it had a 9.6 rating (and now it's 9.4) and i got to ch 6 and uhm yall would say anything is peak if it has a relatively unique setting, even if the execution is mid...
- mc never got punished for touching the researchers' hands for years, but apparently, bullying is quite normalized and ignored. he understands the concept/definition of bullying, but doesnt know what a fever is?
- this story operates on the assumption that everybody is a pos and a dumbass, yk except mc and ml and their allies. like not once was he caught "secretly" guiding or helping people and not once did anyone figure out the correlation between him and the survival rates of the tests he attends. it's beyond dumb how no one is paying attention to him, and attributes it entirely to "luck".
- why on earth does he want to save these assholes? he's friendless and doesnt have any decent relationships with them whatsoever. if dude's naturally self-sacrificing? why?
-mc's been reading memories for years, but none of these people have any memory of the process of leaving the underground? not even the new recruit that was from above ground? like even if these people's memories were wiped or they were blindfolded, the story should've mentioned that
- it also has those common manhua tropes of dumb aggravating side character dialogues that serve no purpose but to fill the void and demonstrate how cartoonishly dumb and awful they are, which props up the mc and ml, and ml becoming weirdly possessive over mc in their first meeting.
is this actually yuri yuri, or just have queer themes
im sorry but how are some of you thinking the author could betray you and end the story on a happy note? like the author didnt write 30+ chapters of pure unhinged toxicity just to turn it into ur typical romanticized yaoi. maybe bittersweet but def not wholesome sugary sweet. maybe think a little more.

incredibly hilarious with a diverse and fun cast. not completed yet, but the story has been amazing so far with great comedy, banter, character and relationship growth. and it'll hit you with a backstory so emotionally devastating you'll cry for half an hour.
i love how everyone's banter and dynamic with one another is so fun and natural that u just keep guessing who's gonna end up together; like at some point i was wondering if the guy who keep forgetting people's names is gonna end up with either red-hair or the short brat, or both.
and, maybe im getting older and more sensitive, but i was legit sobbing over rik and the mc. that was devastating, and the author's incredibly talented. like howd i go from lol-ing to actually crying??
hmm does anyone else think yujin's bonus chapters' characterization felt a little OOC compared to the main work? but her getting together with the girl she deemed inferior is still hilarious lol

coming of age story of a high school boy with perfect memory, taking an interest in animals, specifically their perspective as they succumb to death, and decides his career path right then-- forensic veterinary science. he becomes friends with the reserved classmate who introduces and is taking the same major, and other characters who are taking animal-related paths
ngl i think this is written by a guy, gay or bi or whatever, given, yk, 1) how actually effeminate the mc looks but still retaining his dick bulge 2) yandere sister 3) the ecchi and how mc was bullied 4) mc's initial homophobia and bullying is actually bad, instead of borderline bad, but is used for comedic effect 5) ml's looks is described "average" instead of crazy goodlooking 6) constant baiting with the other love interest, even tho it's obvious ml is the ml, even going as far to draw mc MASTURBATING while thinking of BOTH of them (and it aint bc he likes both of them, but bc he thinks their attention is hot)... idk but ive never seen a BL in which mc does that only to end up with 1 dude; threesomes maybe, but that is for smut purposes, and this supposed to be romance(?)
i could be wrong, and (6) is prob author just retaining readers' attention by making it seem both dudes have an equal chance and yk, ecchi sells
so apparently the artist also did a bl... explains a lot
o wow i remember letting this story marinate a while back... but now it's been 2 years, i just remembered this story again, and it finished more than a year ago... god i feel so old
bruh i know brunette is the endgame but WHY did the author have to add that scene in which he masturbates while thinking of BOTH of them?? it's throwing me off and making me wish it was 3p
adding a secondary love interest when the main couple is already established is one of the most annoying tropes ever
i think there will be a second story based on the same world, maybe not a continuation of mori's story, but a story nevertheless. the worldbuilding is just too interesting, vast, creative, with so much potential that it would be just a bad idea to confine it all within one story. the fact that not a lot of lore is dropped/explained in this story hints at possibly another story where the author can continue to build and expand their world. im prob just coping but anyway
