To sum it up: a special snowflake blonde girl leaves behind the disgusting world of humans to live in a world of perfect blonde blue-eyed "elves" in a confusing mash up of science, magic and mythology. Special snowflake girl breaks every Guiness World record in Blonde Elf World yet refuses to accept that she is a special snowflake, even though she obviously is one and all the boys in the school have a massive crush on her. Don't even get me started on the weird communist-but-with-social-hierarchies society or the rampant girl-on-girl hate or the fact that every single character of note was white and described as being perfect and the epitome of virtue, because then this will turn into a very long rant.
