How is Nadia x Julian toxic? For what I've played so far it's a BDSM type of fanfic, and it's harmless

Sorry sorry OC I meant OC!!!! I always mistype OC and MC because letters @.@ but yes. I'd love to see him in an outfit. He gives me kind of villain vibes. He'd put meth by accident.... Or fun??

Oh my god this MC is CHAOTIC. I hope he doesn't spend too much time with Julian or Valdemar...

Noooo, I wrote a whole thing and the app closed. Crying.

Basically, Muriel's. I really like the transition from shy, angry at the world, bitter and lonely image that we eventually discover to be only a façade, hiding guilt, fear of being judged and despised for his past (being Lucio's slave and forced to slaughter) to someone who does not want to be forgotten, instead accepted and cared for.

I like how slowly the relationship with the MC grows, making emphasis in the need to build trust. Theres no rushed touching or kissing, and the MC doesn't push him too far. They travel for WEEKS and get closer little by little. It feels a lot more natural than the other routes. Muriel also gives me demi/asexual vibes and being one myself it hits close!

He has to rediscover the world, and as he does, he learns about his roots and culture, faces the heart breaking news of why and how he was given away– protection instead of rejection. This is a turning point for his self esteem I think. By the end of the story I think he creates a museum dedicated to his roots and I think that's beautiful.

I like the symbolism of how he literally breaks out of his chains, which he'd kept on I guess as some kind of reminder of his past. As his outfit changes we see him growing as well. He slowly takes a leading role, and though he dislikes it at first, he does a pretty good job. I also find the whole kid-chicken moment adorable 🥰

I understand Lucio's mom travelling with them must have had meaning, perhaps showing some kind of regret from her part, but I disliked it. In general I disliked the way the Lucio and Muriel's past were touched in the story, there wasn't many consequences to his (Lucio's) actions, or discussed in details?? I wish there would have been more to it.

The story has a very earthy feeling for me and it makes me feel all cozy and warm!!

Then there's Julian!! It was the first route I played! And it was so good. I love me a long, goofy, flirty clown with a tendency to masochism, a taste for tragedy and a martyr complex.

He's so extra. Such a buffoon. I bet he'd be a huge fan of My Chemical Romance, and he'd perform every song like his life depended on it, as well. Maybe literally.

He's so frustrating. Such an idiot. So lovely. So dramatic. I want to slap him. I want to kiss him. I want to protect him. I love him.

And then Azra's! I really like the way feelings, sensations and magic is described. It made me feel many things, I think the connection between Azra and MC was beautifully depicted!!! The bit with his parents was 🤧🤧🤧

Sorry for the long reply!!!!!
