I really liked it, but wasn't sure I was going to up through the first half. Fits very firmly within its genre, with some interesting innovations. I enjoy the focus on Chinese culture and how that flavors a lot of the decisions made. 

The ending
is definitely a fun shock in-universe but isn't super surprising if youre genre savvy.


Also
I find it a little too bury your gays, but I have hope that arc gets redeemed. </spoilers>
