This includes a lot of harassment of a child, which I dislike. It is other children doing it, but it's still upsetting. By Japanese standards though "this isn't harassment" and you can enjoy the fluffy plot if you purposefully delude yourself like that to ignore the awkward scenes.
The seme suddenly became mean because the uke smiled on the phone when talking to his uncle, but seme thought he was dating someone else (because the only reason you can smile is dating apparently) and just using seme financially. I get feeling mad about that but blackmail is cruel.
Now I feel bad for someone who massacred an entire planet
Normally I hate how slow dramas are, that doesn't happen in this high speed story. It is sad that the characters don't actually communicate and just sleep together to fix things, and it is sad there isn't even a scene or two of lovey dovey stuff between one plot arc and the next.
This new subplot has a lot of Animal Farm references. But it's much more fun and creative than that of course.
Guild leader has a favorite ship she's trying to set in motion
I'm weirdly touched that in a tiny apartment a tank for her pet takes up all the counter space. She's giving her hermit crab as good a life as she physically can.
This has philosophical discussions of race, theology, justice, diversity, etc. But it also has a normal school plot and growing friendships. The most fun literary Fantasy I've ever read.
