worthwhile read just for zhou linfeng's attitude toward being offered food and beverages
In all seriousness, a truly beautiful work! It tackles some really heavy social topics but in an empathetic way that imo very well parallels what gender roles can do in reality. but also has some really well thought through ABO worldbuilding that ties nicely into the case progress. Very good characterization, so that it feels like everyone involved in the encounters leading up to the story events really do have their own complex motivations \^v^/ and, ahem, some very good foreshadowing, too.
The story's implied outcome is not what you'd expect at first but makes perfect sense in these specific circumstances as a way to minimize the relevant harm done within that available framework, methinks. also. and there is a glossary, which is so important to me as someone with language processing issues and gives some very nice insight on the relevant historical research.
I think I was asked to confirm the file integrity so everything looks good to me personally, no crispy images and no info transmission failures or obvious formatting problems! whee
