I enjoyed this book. I have some complaints about how much time is just spent moving back and forth or like how hopeless so much of this book feels but this is also the first book where so much is just set up. But! The main characters are great and I do adore them. The twists felt good and interesting I stayed with this book and read this book pretty quickly because I wanted to know what would happen throughout. So generally I liked this a lot and want to know what will happen next.

100/5 stars. Holy crap this is so good I want more of this right now. If you like angels and demons and queer stuff read this. It's 90 pages of great world building, really fucked up angels doing messed up stuff, and a super fun take on sin and how you can do it without even knowing and what you do when you find out you have! Also being Trans doesn't always look the same or is not binary! This is a great take on that! Ugh I love this omg

I love these books so much. Kell and Lila live with me all the time and they are such wild strong characters. I also love Lila being such a fun gender vibe all the time and you never knowing what she will do next. Also the tournament in this book is so fun!! I'm hyped to read the next one!

I am obsessed with this series. Immediately one of my favs. I love this gender icon and our diva in this. Both of our girls are so sweet and we are really getting to know them both as they get closer in this volume. I cannot wait to get more of this this series is a fav. I love their sapphic sweet energy.

Love this series. One of my fav romance Mangas and one of the few I try to keep up with. The two mL are so sweet and the premise of just trying to be a good dad and falling in love is so beyond cute!

This is a very sweet omegaverse with a very good entry level intro on how the system works generally and also in this universe. A great starter manga on it. The romance is also very sweet and the main couple gets together very quickly idk what more volumes are/would be about and idk if I will get them. I might get one more and see if I care to continue. I do like the characters a lot.
