good for her

A little too subtle for my tastes, wish we'd seen something more, but love the characters and the concept.

Yeah it just kind of ended before it got anywhere. It was kind of a Flowerchild-ian setup too, bummer.

BANGER honestly, I love it

Oh, really liked this one.

This was honestly incredible. It does what the best oneshots do, suggest oceans of complexity through implication and metaphor. The son's total reliance on his mother for everything being the direct result of his complete lack of respect for her, and by extension women in general -- note how the MC looked like his mother when she was tying his shoe. The implication that the mother married her husband for the same reason the MC dated her son, to make use of their money at the cost of their own dignity. The MC and the mother starting off antagonistic because they both depend upon their relationship to the son to maintain their status in a patriarchal world only to slowly start empathizing with, and eventually loving, each other more. I feel like there's so much to say about this and I've only scratched the surface. Thanks so much for the translation!

Great analysis I think!

So...https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/uniform_and_parasol#17

Should I take that as our MC was flustered just thinking back on how she ate the peaches or were these "peaches" symbolism for something else?

now I wonder if she even took the elevator, or after that "ding" the "peaches" moment took place, for that matter, does saying she likes peaches is just literal for her and a metaphor for the reader, or was she also making an implication to her about what she "likes"

Here comes Ms. Steal yo mom!

Girl got that mythic rare pull

"Me and your mom have already made travel plans for next week" sounds like something I would say on xbox Live.
