Pretty damn fun. I liked the relationship between El and Orion, there was a nice push and pull to it between snark and genuine kindness. I enjoyed El finally figuring out how to make friends, I kinda struggled to get a good idea of the mals within the school, the names and descriptions all blend together. Overall, it kinda gave me magical Survivor vibes, like the TV series, where everyone is playing this meta social game, which is a neat idea.
