- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
I vaguely remember reading this as a webtoon, and how frustrating it was to have to wait to read each next section - I never did end up finishing it...
I am eager to finally get to read the whole thing in one go, and will continue on. That said, it is really confusing and unfocused with how each scene is just the smallest snippet to advance the story forward, and how the characters and various plotlines are randomly introduced. I feel like maybe this is going to be quite the chore to get through... It's also quite YA-obvious-tropes heavy and I feel a bit childish to be reading it
But if I'm able to put aside my hopes for a narrative through line and just surrender to the vibes, I think it'll be an enjoyable time
