It’s more of a really long comic than a story. It’s not bad, but there’s not really anything that could be added to the description. Intriguing premise but little to actually obtain by reading.

cute enough. suffered from an insane lack of world building and character development imo, it made everything feel incredibly flat

The art is beautiful but unfortunately the story felt unfinished and there was a bunch of random jumps in the story that made it feel not cohesive. Also the romance was thrown in at the very end. Because the story was so fast I couldn’t even ship the romance.

I had to read this book twice before I could properly appreciate it and what was going on.

This was such a cute romance between a human woman and an AI robot. It was a super cute and endearing rivals to lovers between photographers. Both characters felt well rounded and like they really belonged in their world and were impacted by it. I also really like the themes it was poking at and trying to explore in such a short story.

I think that’s the weakness though, that it’s so short. I feel like I was missing a lot of info and context while reading, which was due to the quick pacing and how short the book is. I wish we had been given more context for the world and what was going on. That specifically was WHY I had to read it a second time, because I needed the ending context to really understand what was happening.

Outside of that, the artwork is BEAUTIFUL. It has so many little details and really suits the story. Some of the artistic choices to convey feelings and tone and help tell the reader what’s going on were so good.

Overall a cute read, I enjoyed it, it just needed to take a little bit more time with the story.
