#main thing on my mind is melon and hybrids in general could use some more development#and also more couldve been done in the direction of “desire to eat vs desire to protect”#also melon is basically maybe the joker? good for him i guess#i do really like the closing note from the author that all interactions with other people are interspecies interactions#i think that helped kinda ease that “man this better not be an allegory” feeling#and viewing it more through a lense of trying to figure out social interactions and desires and relationships makes it make more sense#i do quite like the world though its very interesting#i feel like more could be done with it both in terms of cleaning things up a bit and expanding#bc it only rly touched on herbivores and carnivores#what about class? or social structures within a species? both are kind of touched upon with kyuu and haru respectively#(kyuu being in poverty and haru being bullied by other rabbits + having a large tight knit family)#but past that those arent rly expanded on#idk! it was a fun read; i read it pretty quickly and i think it was worth it#but it does feel like it had way more potential than it delivered on#also surprised its not huge on this website given it has furries and love and cannibalism#i guess the fact it cant escape being read as a really messy allegory kind of kneecapped it#so itll forever be known as “edgy zootopia”#beastars liveblogging
