God, this is boring! The enemies to lovers is going to be cringe, I just know it. She was angrily shouting at hin and jabbed him and thought "ohhhh solid chest". Because he has a rib cage, women! Jesus Christ who is allowing all these weird books to be published.

I didn't know this had two separate stories and was thrown off so bad when the second one started. Also, there's meaning lost in translation and some stuff didn't come across properly and made me think it probably sounded more profound in Japanese.

Super fun! I'm so glad I gave this author another try.
Consent is sexy! Especially when that consent is asked for before even touching/holding hands with someone. I loved how the characters were so aware of their each other's boundaries and never crossed it.
My favourite was the cat π part π No spoilers but it was hilarious and cute!

Okay this was a very cool sci-fi concept. I loved the plot they introduced halfway through. And the characters all went from hating each other to slowly understanding each other was nice. Yiso was such a good character.
