‘Hikaru’ isn’t evil, it is an eldritch horror born of chaos without reason, it is not human just because it can now die, it doesn’t think “death” is a big deal in the first place because it knows it’s basically a changing of energies and planes. It cannot understand human emotions and concepts the way humans do and will never relate.

Hahahahaaa, am I the only one that loves that this is still ongoing? It's like a connection to my kid self, we're still reading this story that we love across time, space, and circumstance. Where I was then and now as an adult. It's a little bit nice

I was an adult when I started reading it, but yes, I still wait with baited breath for these to update. I own several of the first books that came out. As a matter of fact, I left my phone at work Monday, so I couldn't get online to read. I pulled out a couple of them to reread, and now I have a "Shotaro Fun Fact". He drinks Dr. Pepper! LOL

Listen, it's great that we are finally getting straight yaoi mafia dark shit but damn pls write it and pace it better, this doesn't even compare to the writing of some of the dark yaoi mafia shit. There are, however, a lot of yaoi mafia dark shit that are as bad as this though but since this is one of the first of its kind (straight dark mafia shit) where the MC doesn't feel like a docile doormat despite her hopeless circumstance, I'm hoping for better

Guys I’m back after not reading this from around May, does it make sense now why Lucas and Vincent were like nooooo Ethan don’t kill your elder brother even though he killed my dad and your father figure and blinded me and tried to blind your brother and is just running around being evil??? Is this still a plot hole? I can’t believe they’ve been letting this man run free without any consequences just because it would SUCH a great shame for Ethan to kill his OWN brother and also that Ethan was like yep this is totally fine that my brother is running around being evil, him being here outweighs my younger brother’s safety, my best friend’s safety and eye sight, and the death of my father figure, and his continued attempts at murder, it’s totally fine if everyone lives in fear of this man including myself, I am ok with this

It’s not that they didn’t think he deserved to die, it’s that they didn’t want him to have to live with that guilt. This is a spoiler::::::::::::::
:
He ends up being known as “the man who devoured his family to survive”, and people think of him as some crazed murderer and fear him. This is what they didn’t want, because it takes a heavy toll on him mentally

Whattt???? How did no one clock that the elder brother is the crazed murderer??? His vibes are crazy! Why couldn’t the same plot armour for the dumbass older brother work for him too?? It’s like he got away with everything without any consequences, unless the public knows that the older brother is crazy and they are just being assholes like “yeah he was insane but you still can’t kill him even though he was trying to murder everyone including you, let us all collectively shun you for surviving”

Yea it was extremely weird and either not explained or I just haven’t gotten to the explanation, they were also blaming him for his dad’s death!! Maybe even Lucas’ too, I remember them saying the public knew he was sick but not that he was terminally ill so maybe they just assumed he killed him? But I’m not sure. It’s really dumb either way (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

Lmaoooo, they could’ve spent just a liiiittle more time on this aspect of the story or made this dude unrelated to all of them, I guess then there would not be a weird excuse for no one to kill him even if he was wreaking havoc… Actually this is a pretty big part of the story, damn, just a little more thought… I guess we just have to suspend disbelief, great story otherwise

Holy fuckin shit, the placement of the title card at the end of this chapter goes so hard. The last panel before the end card that depicts the deep anxiety that Melt is experiencing and the palpable trepidation her dad is feeling and then BOOM the title card, it’s literally such a cool use of the title card as an element of foreshadowing, literally so simple, nothing else was needed and oof the impact is spectacular because we know, Melt will bless you

"I won't be able to love her the way she wants me to... but I'll be good to her." Motherfucker it's not your choice, it was hers and you robbed her of it. Selfishhhhhhhh. Also you wanted to repay her by returning her feelings???? Ewwwwww, you deigning to grant another person access to your pity and guilt isn't the big gift you think it issss, you loved her love, you felt so safe in her love that you and your asshole friends were so sure, SO SURE, that she would always love you and always try to get you back, that she was always yours, welp, feel that absence like she felt the absence of your romantic love throughout your relationship, the absence of something she was never truly able to articulate basically being in a constant state of low key gaslighting because you neeeever told her that you could never feel for her what she expected and thought she would recieve
This whole page is so funny lololol, why is everything italic???? Also I feel like this is a horror comedy
