My comfort series of 2026
(copying and pasting from what i wrote elsewhere! this review is focused on the main character being so autistic-aly coded)
im realising more and more that mc may be the best representation of my experience being autistic that ive ever seen -
like that means SO much to me
i could go on and on of all the traits, thought processes and mannerisms that i understand completely -
so many things that even when a character is announced autistic - they dont show these traits
but he feels like an actual autistic person - not just a neurotypical giving them some moments - but genuinely his being!!
and the most healing parts are how his traits are not made fun of or the butt of a joke - but everyone not only accepts his traits - but loves them!!
i also just love how everyoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee loves mc, even with that horrid misunderstanding at the start - she still was casual with him
hes just genuinely such a great character
and i love everything around him too, i love the dynamic of his relationship
AND i love how since they never turn off his autistic traits - the romantical moments arent a sudden switch in personality (cause many writers cant fathom someone could take an autistic person seriously or want to be with someone low-to-mid masking)
sorry for the rant - just so in love with this comfort series
