Cat memes feat main catboy from borderland

This part is the manga literally DESTROYED me, like there was nothing more jarring and rubbing salt in the wound then that little minor detail the game makers probably put in just as a slap in the face they all probably laughed about. My jaw really did drop when I read that panel

The most fucked up thing in Alice in Borderland wasn't the guy who was burned alive, or the girl who had to kill herself, or the man who killed his best friend who had gone off the deep end.

No, the most fucked up part wasn't even in the show and it was when Arisu's three friends, who were labelled as 'sheep' in the Wolf game, were killed and he received a reward for surviving.

The reward was mutton chops.

Panel one Tv screen says "Congratulations, game cleared"

Panel two, three and four a young man looks at a dome covering a plate and picks it up.

Panel five mutton chops on a plate with a card that says "Prize: Mutton. Sheep's meat is high in vitamin B2 and iron. Please enjoy after your tiring game."]

anyway ryohei arisu

That does help so much! I also enjoy that you went along with how you seemed to go along with things in true hearts fashion, cause it seems like with (almost all) hearts games, it's possible for everyone to get out alive if people are calm and think through the solution...

Yesss! Absolutely I’m glad I could help clarify things! It took me several times of writing down the rules and editing before I sat there and was like,,, gee I hope this makes sense HAHAHAHA I love writing games but they can be really tricky trying to come up with games and cohesive rules! If there was one thing I wanted to make sure when writing this hearts game in particular it was making it (in someways) obvious how to beat the game, but instead of letting that happen, I wanted everyone descend into a semi panic and choose the unnecessary hard way out as well, this is back in the beginning days of the Borderlands when many arent fully experienced with games (I also might’ve judged the original timeline a bit for surprise reasons 😅)

Now, we know MC is a psych major and she can already heavily analyze both people and situations so I feel like it’ll be a matter of time before she realizes this, but the first sin has already been committed in a way, like this death particularly, and moreso about the way she went about it (and the possible death of her father 😳) is definitely gonna haunt her in some parts of the series.

omg chishiya is indeed a cryptic character which makes him so hard to read but also to write but u do it so well. I like the cat n dog rls they have where u also see a spark of "who tf are u and why am I intrigued/attracted by u" and the depth u bring to MC ! i mean ugh so good girl I love reading your work so much I re-read the first 3 chapters so much already ! she's so tough already due to what she has been through which is what chi needs! anyway gushing over ur story for life! <3

!!!!!!!!! He truly is! If there’s one dynamic I love for the both of them it’s the petty cat dog, back and forth they both have. Because while yes MC gets upset!!! Such as when he was an ass when all she wanted to do was make sure she was okay, or how she got mad at him during the game. Of course she’s upset but her theatrics almost, in a way, don’t really phase him, but I think deep down he’s almost? Amused? Enjoys watching her flail around and bubble bullshit out of her mouth (that’s sometimes really accurate and ouch) Which is why she pointed that out, and maybe in that moment he caught himself and immediately went 😡 HAHAHA

If there was one thing I noticed in the Manga while reading Chishiya’s arc, it was fascination with Kzuuryu and his need to treat all equal. I wanted MC to reflect a type of that humanity such as that, that would keep him, in some ways mystified but intrigued, particularly at MCs ability to read people. They go into this a little bit in the next chapter! I had hoped, in original planning that MCs character would be a little softer, but given everything she’s been through, her line of work, her major? She cannot tolerate bullshit for more then a few minutes 😭

I feel strongly that Chishiya is definitely on the end of the spectrum that’s like, why tf am I intrigued with you? And if there’s anything Chishiya enjoys, it’s interesting people. Whereas MC right now, outwardly feels like why is this man intriguing but hmmm if you squint you might begin to see a lil attraction there. I’m SUCH a hoe for enemies to lovers, or at least down to fuck in their case- 😧 HAHAHAH okay okay okay I’ll shut up now!! thank u for letting this lil author ramble a ton 🥺🖤

this is correct and I know for a fact karube would’ve been the one to swing first

given the chance, karube and niragi would have killed each other. of that i'm sure.
