interesting bind where i can definitely go 'if you like belaf then i recommend mithrun dunmesh and/or michel fatamoru' but can't much further specify why in either case without spoilers and also to be honest it can't really work the other way(s) around (as much as i wish otherwise)

#it can't work the other way around because mia as a narrative has much less to offer of Bdog than dm and ftmr offer of the others #(especially the latter who is a full fledged central character)#with many fans sorta overlooking him as a plot device and the creator seeming honestly not that interested in him and his companions #(which is amazing considering how much you can read into him..tsuk you care about Be at least a little don't you....)#but he's on record as saying #basically #that that arc was something he didn't enjoy making because of the focus on adult characters #so it's about the opposite experience of 'wow im so happy to find a character and story more of what i like'#and beyond that lots of the overlap i am referring to requires one to chew on the character a lot #and either provide some of their own analysis and/or engage with the fandom/fanon to find said analysis #to reach the conclusions his fans tend to reach about his relationship to trauma et cetera
