So far, the plot is so intersting, I love the writing and the sci-fi elements in it,, The characters are so good too !!

Few of my ramblings (spoilers incoming)

Smth about the fact that Ran Jin's password was Chi Yu's bday date, her putting the rose that she got from Chi Yu in resin to preserve it forever and the fact that the only times she was seen crying was at the possibility of losing her is making me feel ill. Especially since we don't know the true way her and Chi li's relationship looked like. We only have Chi Yu, who sees it through rose-tinted glasses (like all of her memories tbh) and since we can deduct from how Ran Jin was behaving after she run away from her family, they weren't good either, so there is non zero chance that the first time Ran Jin experienced kindness was from Chi Yu, the same woman who now hates her X,ddddd

I have a feeling like Ch Li wasn't a good person, or atleast she was 'good' to Chi Yu. I can't rlly say, as we only have Chi Yu memories to go off, as Ran Jin doesn't think of her ex anymore (and based on a few times she does, it doesn't seem like their relationship was actually good). Tbh that's one of the aspects I'm liking rn, as Chi Li haunts the narrative through both of them, in their own way. With Chi Yu it's her reminiscing about her deceased sister (and the whole revenge thing) and with Ran Jin it's small things, like getting told by her friend that she thought Chi Li's death will free her, or her having to take a minute to get used to the bedroom where she and Chi Li used to sleep (especially with her feeling uncomfortable about the bed)

Timeloop getting hinted aside, the apple bit and symbolism of it being bit makes me think of 'apple of eden'. Besides it being the cause of humanity being expelled from eden, it also gave them the 'forbidden' knowledge about themselves. Smth, smth, he's aware of timeloop and someone is responisble for it (my bets on nrc chairman, seeing that they were the ones who chosen him to be headmaster

I got used to the fact Malleus would be missing a horn, so now I will need to get used back to him having it, due to illusion spell. Also, yuu, I get why you were staring.

Spend half of my mourning crying from sadness and then from happiness, as I completed Victoria's route and went for BE first and then GE.

I got many thoughts and ramble incoming, so spoilers under the cut off !!

Look me in the eyes and tell me this doesn't scream Malleus?

''The executor of forbidden'' is interesting title. Executor could mean either someone who's executing someone or execute an action. For this ramble, I'm rolling with the second idea.

So what is the forbidden action? That's simple, Dire 'causing' overblots for something (idk yet, revival or some kind of battle). I don't think that the overblotters being those who seem to represent the best the dorms spirit is a coincidence.

Another action I think could be the fact that Dire summoned someone from other world into twst. We know that such things as mirror worlds are dangerous, and most likely forbidden, seeing how such a thing as tranformation potion (smth, that can't be possesed without permission, while Dire had specific tranformation bottle to turn into ghost on hand) The reason why he summoned Yuu is bc they were needed for the overblots, to both cause them and fight them, that's why also Dire couldn't have Yuu leave.

See for years I had been thinking that the reasonwhy Dire never seemed to be searching for Yuu to find a way back home is bc he was stalling for time as Yuu was needed until the end. But for what?

I got a few ideas

- The dire beast Grim, the side-effect of overblots

- As silly as it sounds, RSA in the interschool tournament.

- Smth worse idk.

Maleficia reveal, please. I want to see her and draw the Draconias

Maybe zigvolt fam mention

Raverne mention and hints to what happened to him.

Nrc' chairman, maybe. As I'm 99% sure he's behind everything bad that happens in that school.

The self questioning and reassurance that ''this is what everybody wants, where nothing bad happens''... I do think that it could be also reflective of Malleus's own upbringing, with how the senate basically kept him inside and never allowed him to experience the world.
