This story is so silly and funny, our little urashima taro makes this dystopia way too interesting of a story! Outside of him this dystopian society feels awful realistic with the way things are going, it might be worthwhile, educationally(only half joking ). I also love the emphasis on building out the political state of things, the world building is mighty great. My hope is that the comedy balances well w/ the serious topics the setting will undoubtedly bring. I’m looking forward to more!!
We’re politicking in politics, this story is one large conspiracy with several moving parts with the corruption unwinding thread by thread. The lore, politics, the schemes, and factions have been interwoven masterfully by all accounts. The MC is alluring and sly in a way I’ve never seen from the protagonist… my words can’t speak the intrigue and charisma, this story brings…HOW TF IS THIS A SHOUNEN?!?! This is beyond magnificent, A DEFINITE MUST READ.

Thank you for saying so, it makes me happy if my thoughts pique your interest even the slightest so that eventually you may pick up the story. It always makes me happy to talk about what I found fun.
About efforts never betray, I looked at the story and it does seem a while back I read it(left a rating and everything) but I must’ve blocked it from my mind. I took a once over because of your suggestion and I think I have an inkling why. It’s genuinely anxiety inducing, although despite how well written the psychological mindscape was of the characters, especially that of our MC, I think it left a bitter taste in my mouth. I get the realism of the ending and I accept it but I can’t really quite stomach the cruelty… The imagery and the rough lines, the way we never do see the father’s face because he’s perceived by our Mc in such a way where he feels he’s this amalgamation of fears that he can’t reason or understand is such a wonderful presentation of the undercurrent of hysteria, trauma and fear.
