Now this feels like isekai written by either experienced or talented LN writer instead of webnarou stuff.
I've definitely noticed the same thing too, mainly with the good writing and pacing. The character designs are well thought out down to the character expressions.

However, you may not notice it, but it's definitely steered a bit towards a Japanese audience.
For example, when the twins found out Tohru was a -Lost Object- (Ch4, page 7), they asked things like:
  • "What's Cup Ramen!?"
  • "What's dashi!?" (related to Japanese cuisine)
Very Japanese. In my translation, I opted to go with more general things for English readers to relate better ("What is Internet, VR, Manga and Anime"...).

And now we had a hot spring chapter (though it's well integrated to story).

Iirc the source is a webnarou novel, but reviews have noted this author has put more thought and care into this story compared to the chaff you usually find.

Some webnarou stuff can be really really good (Deathbound Duke's Daughter comes to mind) but you really have to search for diamonds in the muck - noting that most people enjoy reading the muck too.

So they're basically one person, right? If their thoughts are melded in such a way that everything is instantaneously shared and it's impossible to tell who's getting what experiences, there's nothing really differentiating them aside from physicality. At least, they don't seem to have any personality unique to one twin or the other.

It's an interesting way to approach the 2 for 1 deal the MC is getting. I do wonder if the author will stick to his guns, or if he'll differentiate them in the future.

'Checks tags'
Nope, not suggestive, erotica, or porn. So this will be going down the sexually frustrated or completely oblivious MC route. While the FLs try their best to appeal to the MCs nonexistent libido and personal preferences.
anything can happen I've read manga were their was no suggestive tag to getting it later on same with suggestive to erotica and it can also downgrade as well

There are polygamy and harem tags on the novel updates info page. Meaning there is a chance there will be flirting before a fade to black and its the next morning. So not all hope that the MC will respond to the opposite sex in a somewhat normal fashion.

Damn, that's a really cool power. There's a lot you can achieve if you can coordinate your bodies to that extent.
Its pretty interesting and actually somewhat creepy.
They seem to have their own consciousness or else they wouldn't be able to differentiate between their individual circumstances. Like if M was holding a conversation with T where Y wouldn't hear them, would Y answer by mistake instead M? It's early to be sure but it seems like they don't have any issues telling themselves apart. The reason they don't share a consciousness is likely due to them not sharing sensory information, which likely keeps some sort of sense of individual identity between the two of them.

They respond to their individual circumstances but their minds are connected as if they shared a portion of their brains, each have separate consciousness but their memories might be shared without any distinction, how can they tell which memories are whose? if they are together at all times and make sure to experience the same things they won't be able to tell who is who in their memories, they live like they are different people but they may have a hard time telling apart whose history is whose which may lead to some sort of identity crisis, kinda like looking at an infinite mirror.

I think there are two ways for dealing with this, they either kill their individuality and become something that's neither of them or go their separate ways to live on places different enough that they won't mistake each others memories with their own.

I think the Mind Link is an interesting power, but like others have mentioned -- this seems to kinda rob them from having individual personalities, unless they establish them having differences, it seems like one person inhabiting two bodies.

I feel it would've been better if, for example, either the info sharing was selective, or that one of them was impulsive and the other calculating.
Still, the premise seems fun.

Not necessarily.

Explicit in the explanation of the power is the ability to consider ideas from multiple perspectives. They retain the ability to distinguish parallel lines of thought, it's just that the definition of "identity" may be different from a human's.

While a person is a collection of their physical abilities, emotions, skills, etc. these twins might distinguish their identities as a group of emotions, trains of thought, preferences instead.

Alternatively, this is a hivemind of two, and that's not necessarily wrong to have.

I think that in the end in the depends on whether or not they have a human sense of self or identity, if they have it then they will struggle with their condition and if they don't then they may not count as human which is also pretty weird, not a bad thing but it can be disturbing depending on how its handled by the author.
