this was a genuine gOOD fucking read.
the characters are super well developed- literally all of them, and you see insane character development (in both positive/negative directions), there aren't abrupt plottwists instead things are built up and exposed well, the tension is gradual buT it's so GOOD. the suspense lasts throughout the fic and the fucking satiSFACTIOn that you get from waiting and reading through all the tension is sO well-executed. like. it's like not like the suspense that is too long that it fucking kills you and you feel vaguely annoyed, instead, it's just the right amount i stg.
also, as a delinquent manga, it has a LOT of humble characters- in fact the majority of them aren't the stereotypical hotheads (and if they were, they still were well written), but instead MC and other characters, including the ones you don't root for, are intelligent, have a good head on their shoulder, knows when to hold out even though it's fucking pAinFul on their pride, and have a stronger resolution/constitution than most would have.
idk maybe it's bc i got super attached to MC from the start and that's why i have such a positive bias/opinion of this story, but hey. 10/10, love the MC and his buds, love seeing him beat shit up.
