Cute and funny.

Nothing too crazy, but had a good time. The artstyle was cute too. 

Didnt enjoyed the MML in this, but wanna see how the series goes.

Brilliant read.

Its absolutely absurd, chaotic journey. 

There moments, where the humor misses its mark - i assume its due to translation. 

But most of the time I have was laughing out loud, having a blast.

(Also Bo is hilarious.)

Easy 5 star.

This books is phenomenal. It's terrifying, yet amazing.

It's very heavy read, but it's so well written, that it sucks me right into the story. It makes me think! About the irl world, about the history, about people..

It's raw book. It doesnt shy from anything.
The good, the bad and the ugly of humanity - it's all in here, sprinkled with fantasy and legends.

Immensly enjoyed every single page.
This book terrifies me.. in the best way possible.

Truly a masterpiece, imho.

(I do need to lay down due the ending tho *screams*)

Really cool intro to the story. 
Love the unreliable narrator vibe I get from WWX. 

-1* due to the copious amount of "telling, not showing" to the point it seems like info dumping. If I wouldnt already know the world/story/characters from the drama/manwha, I would be bit bored or lost at the times.

Also the translation feels bit wonky, compare to the drama/manwha.

But overall, I enjoyed it. It was fun, albeit dark at time. The mystery element is so well portrayed imho.
