I think ppl forgot k cares about power bc he knows that if he climbs ranks and becomes more powerful, he’ll have more weight behind certain decisions or policies. He saw firsthand how ppl choose to let others die/suffer (the situation with Jerome being one of them). I think it’s interesting how some ppl view k’s ambition and his relationship with Fabian as purely self-serving as if there hasn’t already been multiple scenes where k expresses he cares for Fabian and wants the best for him (like how he purposefully guides Fabian in such a way that he’s no traumatized by seeing his hallucinations of Jerome bc Fabian doesn’t have to experience the penalty). Not everyone shows their affection in the same way.
Idk why I torture myself in reading this when I know how the novel ends
End my depression, what happened. Did he die at last?
Ok so I never read it but I did read spoilers on novelupdate a while back.

Basically, Deon’s split personalities fuse, he finds out the truth about everything, lots of ppl die bc he enacts revenge & he dies by suicide. He has built up too much karma in his lifetime, so he’s sentenced to suffer in the afterlife. He finds out that his brother cruel is also suffering (bc all the bad things he did were to protect Deon) & begs to take on his brother’s karmic debt. They agree but Deon also has to give up his sight forever so that in later reincarnations, he’ll never be able to see ever again. And he still accepts so yeah he basically pays for all eternity when the duke was the one who caused misunderstandings (intercepting his parent’s letter to not draft him into the war bc they loved him and knew he was born weak). I also read some things in cruel’s pov and it’s so sad :( bc he cared about his brother so much
I hope both Eden and Ashil are both Kahim’s espers omg
I binged this in one night…. I have to wake up at 6 for work but I don’t regret it
Tbh I think part of the struggle here is tei’s sense of self esteem due to socialization. He grew up in a place where he constantly had to prove his worth, so he always maintains the thought that he must be able to do something for someone or be something for someone in order to be worthy, useful, etc. While I hope shuraka is able to clear up misunderstandings and give tei a stronger sense of duty/worth as his partner, I hope tei comes to understand how important and loved he is himself, even if he can’t fulfill everything <3
Bro’s vertical industrial is insane omg… idk how he managed to heal all of his piercings so well tho at a young age :’) I’m struggling to heal my double helix
Does anyone have recs for mangas/webcomics like this? I love political stuff & mcs who are smart/clever c: like apothecary diaries or turning are some others I like!
A Painter Behind the Curtain and Stigmata are both quite political and plot heavy in a similar way to this one, if you haven’t read either of those already.
I haven’t read stigmata yet! Ty for the rec c:
The third one was supposed to be this one ...
