the first book i finish in months and its the fish danmei, what a life.
a little boring and frustrating at times, but the LI made it work, he carried the book on the parts the MC was being dense, all in all a nice, generic danmei to read at the beach or on vacation

can't find the entry for the whole book, so i will leave my review here.
BEST. DICK GRAYSON ROBIN. STORY. EVER.
wholeheartdly and with care emphazises the origins of the Robin mantle as a beacon of hope and the light to the Dark Knight and who dick grayson is, both as a person and as a hero.
it also shows and a realisting and non demonizing way what bruce and dick's relationship is, they love and care for each other but bruce has a hard time showing it in a healthy way.

the story is a mess, the plot is all over the place and the romance is ???, but its a charming little piece of bruce wayne before the batman, it slots in really well with comic lore and gives you the feels (harvey 🥹) i can totally see madeline coming back as catwoman-esque or talia-esque figure in batman lore, just wish they elabrorated in their relationship, the mystery and the plot, the pieced are there!

2/3 stories are superb, the first one honestly didn't made any sense.
