(Spoilers ahead, also CW: Suicidal Ideation)
If I were to summarize my thoughts, I'd say that I loved how you treated everyone with compassion and nuance in this story, especially considering the subject matter.
Taking One's life is something seen as selfish and inherently dishonorable and shameful in our culture, leading to it being hushed away to never talk about. Making it all the worse for everyone.
Treating them with Compassion breaks the mold on that, which is a great thing, same with the view of the afterlife.
All the Characters have much more going on then gets shown in the story, which is also great for short stories like this.
And I truly hope that you'll show us more of your world, I am looking forward to it.
Though like I said in the review, don't rush it, You don't "Owe" your audience anything really.
Thank you for writing this lovely story!

You've taken the words out of my mouth, This series is incredible. I didn't really know that a smutty comic could touch me that deeply before I read this.
The MC is really cute, the character growth is so well done. Genuinely the best thing I've read this year, and topping it is gonna be hard, Even with the third of the year left.
While I totally agree with your points about capitalism, I feel we can't exactly go back. We can go forward in a more efficient direction with what we are currently doing, but I think everybody knows that tech companies aren't going to do that.
The whole thing with releasing a new graphics card every two years, is just like releasing a phone every year. Its psychological Obsolescence, making you think that what you got right now isn't enough, because it isn't the shiny new thing.
That in addition to not prioritizing durability and energy efficiency in design is the cause of our e waste crisis imo.
We should probably stop with that immediately, and start developing some better less expendable hardware. Or else we might not have any Hardware soon.
So my standpoint is more like, Technology isn't the problem, Capitalism is.
