adventurous emotional medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Ended up liking it a bit more than I thought! I thought this was going to be one of those "Turn back time" or "Reincarnated into my younger self" type of stories, but it's very much not! The plot pacing it a little rough at points, but it appears like it's trying to do the entire series set-up in a single volume. The magic system for this story is actually pretty interesting! I don't think I've seen a magic system like it before, which instantly makes me want to read more about it. The art is gorgeous, I love how pretty everything is.
