    god damn!

    this is a long comment, you weren’t kidding! i don’t have much to say other than “i agree” a bunch, but i did read the whole thing and appreciate it. i do really love the blood drinking and awkward autistic flirting, de la rosa and geninov rooming together is great. shalikova and maryam are obviously amazing, and ulyana and aaliyah are sooo so cute. also elena and marina are really good here, i like them a lot!

    plus the plot stuff, it made me laugh so hard when you were like “are we ever going to see erich again?” yeah it’s in 2 chapters and it’s basically the most we’ve gotten from him thus far. this is some kinda standard yaoi archetype stuff in my understanding, yeah

      lmao whoops I got hyped

      Sorry this is my wheelhouse, I am a romance enjoyer and I adore this shit, was practicially high off all the good brain chemicals I was getting while reading & writing about it. I fucking love this webnovel!!! Thank you :)

      I said it to Gunslingersky, but in a non-volcel-breaking-way I really admire and appreciate the kinky and atypical eros that keeps showing up. It gets me to think weird and different about sexual contact, which I really dig. This chapter is huge ups for every set of characters basically, but I’m looking way forward to seeing more Elena and Marina too!! They both have lots of character development ahead.

      Cool, I like the yaoi archetype it’s funny, and while Erich is at least provably evil now as is Carthus, I still enjoy them both a looooot. Terrible things are happening in their bedroom!!

        whoops i wrote a really good thing, sorry

        no i liked reading it! it was good! i spent the whole time going “hell yeah, that shit rocked” because i also loved the romance. i’m glad you enjoy it ass much as i do!

        oh my appreciation is fully in a volcel-breaking way tbh. but also on an intellectual level it’s neat :) and so much character development, yeah

        they’re cool! nice to have some dudes from time to time

          Yeah haha mb :)

          Aw thank you ✨ That shit did rock, and me too - I had an inkling that Unjust Depths was good when I took it as a rec from you and dl’ed the epub four months ago, but I had no idea it would be THIS GOOD!

          Lmao well power to anybody who gets off to Unjust Depths as well, uncritical support. I am at a weird intersection of autism + asexuality where I am fascinated by kink but have next to no desire to participate, lol

          Unjust Depths when dudes rock, lmao. I like that Erich is all androgynous anyway, I picture him as a bishie tbh.

            how dare you write a long thing i like reading!

            glad to see my “recommend unjust depths to everyone who will listen” strategy is paying off and people aren’t going “why do you like this garbage?” it’s very validating

            well ok i’m not like jacking off to it but as an allosexual person it’s definitely something i appreciate on several levels. mad respect to the asexual pure academic interest angle though

            it’s amazing that i can go “it’s nice to see some men from time to time :)” when i’m NEVER asking for more men in stories

              I'll fukken do it again!

              Thankfully it’s really good, grats on your superb selection. I’m also gonna write a lil thingy about Dungeon Meshi soon :>

              LMAO okay I see, fair play as well. I do wonder that about sex scenes in works that are not primarily erotica, if it’s expected that people will…

              Ikr, it’s because 1) they’re funny murder gays 2) they are evil 3) they are doing big schemes 4) they are androgynous and pretty! Funniest type of dude imo.

                how will i survive

                aubrey-happy

                tbh i’m also never really sure about that. i know that that was the business model for a lot of dtv or cable stuff at one point, when it was way harder to get porn, but idk about outside that

                it’s also cause the rest of the story is so woman focused. it’s really lovely to see, and it means i go “oh nice, somethign for the dude enjoyers!” also it does help that they’re like yaoi bishie type dudes who have schemes and plots

                  Alas, such hardships,

                  izutsumi-idea

                  Makes sense for cable TV in the 80s, but for novels and stuff now…? Deeply mysterious…

                  Oh shit you’re right, the men have been marginalised and made the minority!! Wonderful stuff ngl.

                    :kbity:

                    well i mean, sex can tell you a lot about characters, right? at least if done well. we learn more about zachikova and arabella from it, same with norn and adelheid. though a lot of the time it doesn’t serve that purpose and idk what’s going on when people can just go watch/read actual porn

                    not only is it heterophobic, it’s misandrist! waow-based
