The drugged up murderer gets a redemption arc. Poor girl gets a new contrived way to be shoehorned into rich people society. Hacker boy is trying to get into his dream college but that storyline doesn't really go anywhere. Really, the five main characters thing is now Leda, Avery, and other people watching Leda and Avery exist.
Avery and Atlus aren't blood related but they both apparently exude a pheromone that makes everyone they meet helplessly attracted to them. Maybe there's something in the water way up on the top floor. Anime must not exist in this world, because A and A keep obsessing over how “forbidden” their not-incestuous relationship is.
The new con-artist girl is fun, until she gets too close to the 1k floor pheromones and gets boring.
I'm actually pissed at myself for not reading this series earlier. More thoughts to come later but I HAVE to start book #3 right now.
