Alright, I expected to hate this more than I did. It's absolutely outlandish, there's no doubt about that. Even if I am capable of suspending disbelief that Neil is the son of some crime lord, the fact that he has spent years running from that life only to then

put his trust into a teenager to somehow keep him alive while he's also in the public eye makes literally zero sense.

I assume that he's made up a new name, though I don't recall that being stated; it is kind of hard to keep track though, as things tend to move rather quickly and there are a lot of names being thrown around and it took a long time to really get them all into my head. Even with that being the case, it doesn't seem likely that somehow neither Kevin or Riko recognized him, unless he didn't really spend time with them and just kind of idolized them from afar? This also wasn't really explained well either.

I dunno, despite how ridiculous this is, I still am interested to keep reading. Lol. I've written fanfics that are about as ridiculous as this, so I can't exactly fault it for being so insane. And it feels like the slowest if slow burns, so that's also pretty cool. There's a lot of non-consensual shit happening in it, though, and I'm not into people being drugged against their will and others acting like it's just a hazing ritual for a super tight bro-ring.

Apprehensively continuing on, I suppose. The audiobook isn't too bad, though.
