The proudest feeling I had was when she finally said the words she was only thinking and sharing to us, readers. She kept thinking, observing, and learning...and finally, she said the words to her son and it held more conviction and sincerity. Besides, her quiet observation is still parenting, she was literally "watching over" them and supporting in little ways like teaching hiroki to cook or giving him her equipment...ofc there are a lot of disappointments especially when she was "communicating" with her husband (my annoyance towards him was the highest coz he knew his words were hurtful yet only acknowledged it when he thought of his son hearing him say them for years... That's not ignorance anymore, he KNEW it was hurtful and not something you should say). Love the brother's high EQ and glad he gained a friend he relates to. I'm still worried about Hirko's self esteem tho... It felt like his dad (and society) really chipped away so much of him already and i'll just have to imagine him building himself up again to feel worthy of something as a gay.

Like it takes guts for him to speak up for himself. And tbh, the extras were confusing me hahaha one of them tells him to be cautious, another takes a dig at his sexuality, and then some pervert tries to play with him... Bro.
That's just me tho, coz it IS implied that it wouldnt matter anyway now that he felt secure with his relationship and thus become more secure being himself

When ive stumbled on this with an integral plot unfolded and a relationship mended. Coz oh my goodness... One season of so much vagueness that i want to pull out all of the MC's feathers for running around his friends but not having a proper convo with the grand duke. BUT ALSO WANTING TO TEAR OUT THE GRAND DUKE'S WINGS FOR SAYING ABSOLUTE HORSESHIT and dragging the plot. I actually applauded when MC for always coaxing his vassals when i read the grand duke's pov and how much he was willing to love them all. Yeah, he's really synced up to a tee. And well, coz after all that shit, i finally had answers and make up sex after all that dubcon—SA shenanigans

As always, a very gray area of "philosophizing realities". But i agree w rika's mom, as long as parents guide their kids to have a purposeful and satisfying life then an adult has done well for a blank slate of a child. No one chose to be born, but it's the wisdom of those who lived that molds a world for whether a child could be satisfied living in it or dread to have been thrown into it.
I love how straightforward Hiro's name is. It adds to the more or less ideal pov we want to have to make a better world where being yourself, which do not hurt others, can thrive instead of always conforming to social norms and malicious stereotyping and prejudice.

I cant believe that i actually feel bad for a fictive character but the disrespect for the wholesome feelings William had in the comments. He just wanted to make Finley happy. It wasnt even sexual like yall make it to be ┗( T﹏T )┛
He didnt even realize that it was romantic until THIS life. Like did ya think William the dog wanted to fck him, too???

It made me appreciate the writing a lot more when i reread the whole thing now that it's 113. Esp for the character of the whistle blower. Of course i was already praying that it wouldnt be the classic "bitch" with a sultry face. And im so glad kt wasn't! I love that! I love that even the pretty boy was a true clean character and was a regret of Younggeuk. So many details on the works he has to do as well, which makes their wins more plausible...like it's not an awarded film coming oit of no where for the plot. The stories are really compelling!
Giving his mom a potential husband to offer an opportunity to pour more obsession in his acting is both funny and worth celebrating. Like i know single parents do not have to find another partner and stuff but Jisu is so cute and the new stepdad is a fellow of the same vibe as the mom. Love the bonding yeonggeuk already has with his future sis.
I burst out laughing when he introduced the chaebol asshole role coz I was thinking, holy fck, we're now using his past life to boost the realism on the character HAHAHAHA

Like youd think its heartwarming and all that shit with consent and unconditional love. And it WAS most of the time as i did read the first volumes of the story. But it gets so warped when the babies are born. Consent is nothing but an illusion. Chika, a modern man who i think should at least still have the modern intellect of child development, shows hesitance when his nephew shows interest in his newborn human baby. BUT he is only ever so mildly concerned about them being cousins and even nods to "I'll wait for him to grow up". CHIKA, a modern 40 yr old man regardless of his sex slave trauma who even has the tiniest idea of what consent is, proceeds to let an adult groom his kid(S). This world broke our MC so much that even if he has anger towards being forced, his "all's well that ends well" worldview is magnified to the point to the point of simply accepting everything. The author's pedophilia shines more and more in this 2nd generation. Author lets the mc be so naive that it normalizes everything. But of course, the bottomline is violent rape :)

I saw the link posted in one of the comments but also googled on my own so i read upto vol 3 (which was the 2nd-3rd gen already) plus depending on the translator, the text can be irritatingly polite or more familiarly English with swear words lol. And yes, most of the pedo-grooming-messy interrelationships are 2nd to 3rd volume. Except there are also a lot of "if he wasnt young—"mindset from the bear and lion in vol1 light novel. The manga is just more wholesome compared to the text
I read vol 2 in https://knoxt.space/ai-o-ataeru-kemono-tachi/
Vol 3 in https://blsnacks.wordpress.com/ai-wo-ataeru-kemenotachi/
The type to read and chuck away after lol. Coz yeah, the tone is pretty much lighthearted despite the deviance of moral compass. The kid doesn't even process it as rape. He's been groomed and it was explicit how his brain was turned to mush with all that sex. I didnt like how it tried to villainize the sister for being a logical adult (author gave up and made her "bless" them anyway). The mom is just an unconventional plot twist and probably a forced plot driver to be jealous of. Aya is 23 and gives little fck actually. He's the typically romanticized delinquent and a manipulator who kept guiding how Nazuko would react lol (the sister was a letdown moment...but what did i expect from the narrative anyway? It's basically a let-live trope that gives zero fcks abt how toxic it is coz Aya is rich and Nazuko is an intellectual...both considered to be functioning and contributing citizens. Unlike if their "future is ruined")
