I did not like the transition into their relationship.

They simply jump from bullying her into being in love with her because of some bond

There was no resolution. I find the premise of the prophecy intriguing and will be looking forward to seeing how it fleshes out in the future.

The evolution of both the relationship and characters was amazing. Although I enjoyed it, I wanted more chapters from Kenji's POV to get more in-depth about his struggles. One piece of criticism is that the male POV's were often centred around the FMC even though there were so many things going around in their lives that I wanted to know how it impacted them or what they thought about it.
