This series is good but it lacks…. depth, maybe. Everything felt one-dimensional. There was like 10 pages dedicated to building the villains. For a 1,000+ page series, I’d like more plot development. I might’ve enjoyed this more with better character development of the side characters (Jesimina, Mische, Vale). They were important to the plot but not important enough for the author to give them a personality. It made it a bland.
