Did... ChatGPT tell you that?
Donut and Carl are ride-or-die but there's no romance between them. Both have other occasional interests but are overall too busy with the not dying.

It kind of was! The author, Matt Dinniman, actually used to like... go to cat shows and draw cats for a living? I don't know how that works, but I'm assured it's true. No cat shows during lockdown so he had to do something else.
Donut is a tortoiseshell Persian because they're hardest to draw. 😂

You get a Bronze "First Hit Was Free" Benefactor Box. It may not be the same, but there are other options to chase that high...

Like... Even the crude stuff isn't handled salaciously the vast majority of the time. Like, here's this male stripper and his stripper name. He's critical to this heist.

Oooh, tempting. I own them, but only in physical media form... It was so difficult picking between Book of the Night with Moon or High Wizardry when I modded the tokens for A Place for All My Books

I have dropped series because of this. That said, Forever Fantasy Online felt like it was written by someone who knew MMOs.

I love your concept of the system. Is that how it looks in one of the illustrated versions or your own idea?

Not a big horror fan, but that title is hilarious.

What do you want to bet they never tried reading it?
It's the same energy as someone who hears the idea of kimchi and decides it's disgusting without eating it. It's fine if you don't want to try it, but if you don't, you have to accept that you *don't know* if it's good.

If by football you mean soccer, Player Manager is surprisingly fantastic

Nice! Honestly I feel like the start is the weakest part with that one, so if you like it already you're in for a treat.

Not all progression fantasy!
That said, maybe check out Nine Goblins by T. Kingfisher. Standard fantasy, but very weird. Features a lost group of goblins and an elf veterinarian who takes care of the non-photogenic animals.

Madoka is darker than most of those, but yeah, Princess Tutu was pretty dark.
Honestly a *degree* of darkness is core to the genre. Yeah, you get some brighter kid-focused stuff, but all the Inner Scouts die protecting Usagi at the end of the first arc of Sailor Moon.
(They get better.)

That totally works, and also explains Carl's suddenly-luxurious hair (which is what made me pause on your image to read the description).
