I can't say it is "happy" like the usual shoujo. like you said this story is very cruel and unlike the usual shoujo out there and the rating is also for adult audiences so I don't know what to say ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ if you don't like gora maybe you should avoid this one cause it has a lot of gora and blood and well...

Honestly, my problem isn't even gore, I'm just not a fan of villainous characters so I can't get into it. The psychological tag is what makes me not want to read this story, though. that usually means some messed up stuff happens. I may go back and read the spoilers and maybe read this through to the end sometime later, but right now I don't think I want to continue it.

yeas a lot of messed up stuff, you not wrong. it's okay not to love villainous characters, I myself getting tired of the whole new trope/cliche it becomes. I don't mind it, but yeas it becomes annoying when it the same stick again and again. I do prefer FL that are good, the problem is that most of the time they are dumb as a rock ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
It looks nice but way too messed up for my taste. I skimmed through the spoilers and I guess this somehow has a happy ending?
