    Sometimes it's hard to say whether this qualifies as part of the classic "lucky wife, eight babies, one good pregnancy" genre. Does the fact that the protagonist is male mean it can't be categorized as such? Who invented this nonsensical "bromance" genre anyway? They might as well just write an ABO story directly!

    Another classic example of an author's obscure and literary writing style. The author was truly born at the wrong time. If it were ten years later, with more rhyming quotes and viral marketing—content is less important than the quality of the content—it might not reach the level of MDZS, but it could certainly be the next Cat and Dog.
