### Summary
In the post-apocalyptic, flooded world of "Leviathan," the primary mission follows siblings Bota and Lita Ma in their desperate search for a cure for Lita's accelerating, leviathan-induced mutation. Their quest began after their legendary harpooner father, Teon Ma, was killed, leaving them in the care of their guardian, Kana, who raised and trained Bota for years. The mission has become a frantic race against time after a recent battle with a leviathan Queen left Kana gravely injured and Lita’s condition critical. Reader speculation suggests Lita’s transformation is escalating to a terrifying degree, with fears she may become a monstrous “final boss.” However, this urgent survival plot has been controversially sidetracked by an abrupt romantic development between Bota and Kana. The recent depiction of a kiss between the two has generated overwhelming backlash from fans, who are disturbed by their established quasi-familial bond, the significant age gap, and Kana's long-standing role as a maternal figure. This divisive subplot has completely overshadowed the core mission to save Lita, leaving the narrative's future mired in controversy.
