    The first book's protagonist starts off well but then becomes incredibly tragic, a huge shift from the beginning that broke my heart... The protagonist is used as a test subject for drugs in the middle (the description is a bit erotic...), And the perpetrator is even self-satisfied at not killing him, saying he'd be better off dead after all that torture... The second book isn't a BL (Boys' Love) story, but it's almost like one, just missing the label. This one has layers of angst (life is full of ups and downs...). The protagonist suffers terribly. He's a bit of a saint and lecher in the beginning (after all, he's straight... But he gets better later! Maybe he's gay...?). He becomes dark and depressing later on (sad). Anyway, get through the first part, and the rest is great!!! The third book is also a no-CP (no romance, everyone can ship them~) The protagonist is like an adorable kitten, very lively! The beginning is so heartwarming that I didn't even care about the corpse spots... But later on, it suddenly punches me, saying it wouldn't be too cruel to the protagonist... But later on, I was completely devastated and half-dead... It's all indiscriminately cruel...! This book is meant to be a micro-ensemble piece. All three of these books can be read with your brain~ (especially the third one, you absolutely must read it with your brain!!!) Please give them a look~ It's definitely not the old-fashioned trope of being cruel for the sake of being cruel!
