it feels like actual hunter/gates story!! it feels like an actual action fantasy genre!! i don't like when the action setting is just a setting, flimsily taped together cardboard as a background to romance. I can't even put down what makes it feel so different. maybe there's a difference in the way action sequences are handled.

sayoung's huge eyelashes. amazing

the top ranker being a venomous human? fresh and interesting. the way he needs to wear a gas mask constantly to keep everyone around safe is banger

j does actually feels like a terrifying powerhouse, even when he barely has any onscreen action. it pisses me off when stories just say that as a setting and don't pull through with it

sayoung's fashion sense slays i love the belts. goes hard with the mask

Come back

very likely that they were too busy mogging all of new rho to teach nona to read

bonus palamedes under the cut

You’re telling me that you are standing in a dim room with 2 exits, one of which is locked and covered in blood, and you hear a shuffle behind you. You turn and all you see is this 6ft, boxer build, skull painted, black cloaked figure crouching on the stairwell, blocking your only other exit. And on top of that, when you look at her “eyes,” you only see your torch light and your own reflection?
