have you read the whole translation for trace somewhere? on here it's only been translated until ch. 39
They are, in fact, the same person so sorry to pop your bubble but dan is indeed a twisted person
Well, I know, it's just the personality seems pretty different, but I don't really care enough to create a bubble. I should stop making random comments for a while...
I don't have the whole translation either, but I have seen the raws. Didn't save them though, so, sorry
I will say, MC here doesn't seem the same character as in Trace, personality-wise I mean. He seems like a totally different type of psycho.
In a way, here I can see through his contorted logic and morales, while in the other story he is less predictable, like one who let free rain of his own desires whilst being in control of everything, and yet again he loves the chaos caused by others. Really different, so I don't associate them anymore
