Yeah, round 1 is always a doozy, because there are so many eliminations that only the really psychic-damage-inducing ones really stand out. I had also never heard of Uma Musume before the tournament, so when it hit my dash 2 months later (in the form of discourse, because we are on Tumblr), I took a second to go "ah, yes, Blorbo from my tournament!"

We'll always be doomed to wonder...

Do you want a dramatic historical thriller with murders, romances, and intrigue? The protagonist has a super-queer-coded relationship with his best friend, and it features women in prominent roles while still being historically accurate! It also has some absolutely heartbreaking scenes for those of us who like angst, and an adorable dog sidekick for those of us who need something a little lighter! Reading this really made me feel like I learned something about the world - though it's very fun, too!

Guess noted!
