God, they are so fucking cute together. They have reached new, unprecedent levels of cuteness. Didn't expect the serious, touch averse guy to become such a GRENLIM when he's over it. It's so wholesome he's ok with physical touch with people close to him, now. Not just Yanzi, but he expanded his circle of affection It's so fucking cute and wholesome it makes me want to cry argh I want to bite them I am so normal about them
I don't think he is in the right mindscape for a relationship with either of them. Azusa toys with him in push and pull fashion and he doesn't have a spine for it, and Amatella has little semse of self worth + younger than him + idolizes him, so the power imbalance in a possible relationship would bring many issues. None of the two start in equal footing with him. This is a mess
Doesn't she get tired of getting more lovers?? I feel like giving equal attention to tree and getting to know those better to strenghten the relationships is already consuming. Even the guys are telling her to ,ot have too much on her mind, and not get exhausted. I don’t think she is head over heels with the newer guys, and though I get she bonded with syd, establishing her life in this world could already be more of a priority, than speedrunning "the 100 girlfriends that really, really love you". I like these moments when she's honest with her lovers and her facade cracks down, and they change each other for the better. As a reader, I think seeing character we already know get more developed is more satisfying than jumping to new routes right as another one reaches resolution. Also, the worldbuilding is going so slow... I can tell that there's something going on beneath the surface, but it's so disperse. I really like this story and will continue reading, this is only a collection of my thoughts.
Whew I missed them
