The MC comes from a broken home. Abused by both parents, she turns into a sociopath, wreaking havoc wherever she goes. Whenever she reached out, her mom kept telling her to bear with it. It explains a lot about her views of men. This story mixes heavy trope - explores the darker side of crimes, masked in piety & religion. She could spot people who are predators like her stepdad & empowers herself to not be victimised by using them. It's sad.

It's a cliffhanger (no recent update). Someone in the comment section says it has killing stalking vibe. Perhaps it's more psychological and less about the sex smut? If it is, I might move it to seinen list. I haven't read it yet

Can't deny I've read 1 - 6 on official websites. Good stuff
The Fishes II, I've forgotten about the series (￣∇￣") I can't say I remember the details that well but yeah they're some of my favorite reads. Good indeed
