Thats hidden masterpiece, it tells a story about how our real world drugs can be used to influence real people, to corrupt their mind, to kill someone or even as a medicine. It details how easy it to craft drugs and how people are vulnerable to their influence.

There's a lot of immoral stuff lets say the least, so its a heavy read. But it combines well with setting, a real world without clear black/white, and that world is full a politics and wars. That's why I love this story, it... more>> puts you out of comfort zone where you read all other novels. And by reading let you face a cruelty of out real world that everybody escapes.

There's romance aspect in that too, I cant call 100% it a subplot, it kinda drives story and at the same time not a main focus. Minor spoiler about love interest because its not really a harem

Spoiler

its just 2 of love interests for main story

This one easy in top 10 of my novels, and at least it have decent global tl or rather edited somewhere so you can read it 10/10 story 8/10 tl <<less
