Bad Kids by Zijin Chen
3.75
dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The plot is convenient to the characters, not believable or relatable in any sense of the word, but it makes for a good story, and exploration of morality and ends justifying means.

One thing I struggle with is characters who are always predicting their opponents next move, and have already acted in response, - think Walter White in breaking bad or Light Yamgami of Death Note - so that was really a turn off for me as I was reading it.
