Feels almost like a critique of some other QT novels’ concept of love. MC brings up interesting perspectives and has a mature, sort of cold-hearted, outlook in life due to his experiences.2 modern arcs and 1 ABO. Each arc is roughly 30 chapters so it’s definitely on the longer side of most QTs. I appreciate being able to see the results of the MC’s mission each time, it gives the arcs a more conclusive ending.Zero fluff! Lots of desperation (on the ML’s side) and calculation (on the MC’s side). Their end relationship isn’t light and warm, it’s very much an ‘adult’ like decision to stay together. (About the angst: as someone who has become increasingly numb to dog blood, it is safe to say there is quite a bit of it. For the record, tears fell once.)
