>It is giving some Beastars vibes to me, in a worldbuild perspective.
It's sort of located in that space. The precis is that Alex is a first generation university student from a poor family who is under a lot of pressure to succeed academically. But he's not that smart, and he's not passionate about academics, and would rather be a bodybuilder. Alex's father is an overbearing Asian stereotype who has crushed Alex's independence from a young age, and now that Alex is growing up he needs to "defeat" his father and assert himself and choose his own fate.

In terms of the worldbuilding, it's set in the real world in West Papua, if West Papua was a now-independent former British colony in the middle income bracket. Animals are distributed accurately according to geography, so Alex is an Asian tiger and the badger is a ferret-badger (real animals, and pretty cool). A big source of conflict in one of the subplots is the class conflict between ex-British colonial families - who are all foxes, dogs, lions etc. - and the Asian majority animals. There are also native Papuan animals, who are the original displaced inhabitants.

Most of the story takes place at the university. Alex joins the rugby team who are secretly being dosed with massive performance enhancing drugs that also dumb them down and make them more aggressive and cuntish (that's all fetish content). The effects of these drugs are what bring Alex's conflict with his father to a head.

Alex is angry because he just got into an argument with his younger brother at a wet market buying groceries for the family, because he was trying to bully the seller into giving him a lower price and the seller refused. Alex's younger brother is smarter and more academic, but can't go to university because the family could only afford to send one child there and Alex was the firstborn. Alex's younger brother isn't necessarily bitter about that, but Alex still feels guilty.

>The descriptions are simple and effective, and it has some "rawness" to it. It is really straightforward and complete. I liked it, although furry erotica is not my cup of tea.
Thanks anon, that means a lot to me. I've been labouring over this fucking scene (ha ha pun) for weeks now - nothing came out right, but I felt like I'd finally nailed it (at least as much as I've written) and it's a huge boost to my confidence to hear someone else likes it.

The rest of my writing for this story is nowhere near as good. It was originally just a dump project for writing without worrying about quality (I'm too much of a perfectionist and I want to crush that part of me a bit) so the earlier chapters are unadulterated garbage. Unfortunately it's turned into something I actually care about, so now I'm putting in way too much effort. Only a very small portion of the story is actually written so far, but let me know if you want a link to the earlier chapters. Be warned - they're shit.

Thanks for reading my blog.

>How is he wrong, /lit/?
He's not.

What he wants you to do is think "oh, because I would save the child in the pond I must save the children in Africa."

I did the opposite. I wouldn't save the children in Africa, so I no longer think I have to save the child in the pond either.

'those of us believe art should produce some type of emotional effect.'

lol you are so profound bro

I'm about 3/4 of the way through, I really don't want to finish it because then I won't be able to read it any more.

Ho, lit. I'm about to head into town to buy a sci-fi book, but i want sci-fi with feels. I understand stranger in a strange land (heinlein) and Flow my tears the policeman said (Dick) are good examples. Any other suggestions?
