I feel fucking seen!
I was sooooooooo fucking into that Haruki sub route I couldn't wait to see the actual Marky date, the author really captured the "I can fix him" energy well.
Too bad that I thought the actual Marky movie night ending was too brutal for me to handle lol, it had some really sweet moments but he better come with some next level love bombing to win us back with how that route ended lol
Yeah! Me too.
Haruki really knows how to win someone over. For me, that kind of "dominance" doesn't do much on its own without that touch of affection—showing that he cares, that there's something at stake, you know? It's like a seasoning that makes everything more flavorful. That's what I felt was missing from the other characters' routes, and I got really excited to keep reading after what happened between the three of them. The author's writing made the emotions feel so real, as if it were happening to you. I'm really curious to see how Marky will act from now on; he seems like the jealous, Stubborn type.
But the last update was in 2024... the author could have given up, or died... when never written the ending of the story. noooooo =(
P.S. I understand that Tyler is supposed to be the cold, distant type, but he literally used me as a chair, and my reaction was much more like, "Uhh...? What did I get myself into?" than being able to enjoy a private moment with a handsome, mysterious man who just saved me. lol
I'm sure the author's not dead lol, he's fashionably slow and I think he's semi active on Discord.
I like the premise of Haruki's route and I'm curious to see how the whole roommate thing comes into play, but Marky's got my favorite tropes. The glimps of care really sold it for me, I like when the MC has some sort of sway on Marky cuz he's just that obsessed, I don't really wanna see us just becoming a slut of him so his movie night ending was kind of a turn off for me. Exactly like what you wrote about Tyler, like I'm just not into purely physical/sexual dynamics.
