westwind's manga / #Trauma(3)

ANOTHER GREAT FUCKING FIND!!!! EVERYONE IS OP AND IS ACTUALLY VALUABLE TO THE PLOT (AND EYES OF AUDIENCE), HUMOR, PLOT, ACTION AND uh romance i guess ALL IN ONE!!!! most importantly, it's a found family bowl full of people riddled with ptsd and how they stick together to overthrow empires and overcome nightmares

i thought he was a cringefest (fell for that intro) but he's actually one hell of a character. he's my sixth son, everybody. that said...of all the munchkin, adventure, regressor, cheater or just straight up favored player in a tower fantasy stories ive read, this the one with writing that goes straight and pulls at my heart. sure, i've read ones with satisfying endings or tearjerking climaxes, but not one that's made me tear up so many times. i felt like i can take a lot away from reading this one, and that's something, coming from me (with like, 200 tabs open in mangago alone on the norm)

okay so im only on chap 15 as of writing. it’s crack; the bickering and some of the scenes can be called that; they’re funny, they’re ridiculous. at the same time, portrayal of mc as a child who went through child abuse and grew up in a very difficult environment is quite realistic, in the way that the angst is just, yk, very real.
