Thank you so much for your work on this series! You did an excellent job, especially since it was your first project.
I love these chapters where FKMT gets a little philosophical about the human condition. The themes of feeling like life is passing you by, of realizing painfully that ultimately you are a failure, that you won't end up standing among the successful people... they're just as touching and gut-wrenching every time. But then you can rise up! You can place first! And piss off a bunch of people who bet against you, lol. Absolute kino.
