Ouch. Just......ouch. SPOILERS, obviously, but goddamn such a big twist was unexpected. Gives me a very similar feeling to how Denji felt about Makima at the end of Chainsaw Man; the MC still caring about a person that definitely wronged them because of the care they gave them in their respective story-lines. But I expected it even less in a Furry Virtual Novel of all things, but I could feel something HAD to go wrong when the bus-scene began.
I must be a masochist, because this is definitely a great read. God I hope Axel, Rose, and Ring can treat Cyrus better....And can't help but hope for a scene where Cyrus and You-Know-Who either reconcile or gets his shit beaten out of him. Can't help but feel if the story doesn't give You-Know-Who some comeuppance then It'll feel pretty unsatisfying, but we'll see. I'm leaning towards getting some payback, but that may or may not change.
ANYWAYS, sorry for the rant, but I had to get my thoughts out somewhere. To the Team- Thanks for an amazing read! I look forwards to seeing more in the Future.
