I have no idea if it was intentional or not but it has a great trans narrative, the emotions of discovering yourself and what your comfortable as re really well written, over all the story structure can be a little all over the place but the character interactions are fun, I highly recommend this to others.

Status: chapter 347 – burial

Dec 30, 2020

This story is very much a slow burn. At this point (Chapter 347), we’re at about 580k words, making it longer than Infinite Jest and rapidly catching up on War and Peace. &Nbsp;In normal book terms, you’re looking at a trilogy.

That said, it’s not to its disadvantage. I was intimidated by its length 150 chapters ago and delayed picking it up for that reason, but once I started and got past the slowish start, I quickly caught up with the author (who has been putting out a chapter every couple of days!) and I always look forward to seeing more. &Nbsp;This is, of all the stories I’m reading on here, the one I’m looking forward to seeing updates to the most.

If you’re here for yuri or gender-bender, it takes a good while to get around to those parts. I think it speaks to the confidence of the author that they didn’t go straight for those elements in the early chapters, and that they’ve built such a big world and woven it in so well. This isn’t a by-the-numbers girls-meet-then-kiss-the-end kinda tale, but rather one where you spend enough time with the characters that it doesn’t feel forced: a whole and complete story in its own right.

I don't understand the high rating this story received, at least at this moment, having read only 16 chapters. However, in just these 16 chapters, I already encountered many flaws and illogical elements already.

While the grammar is good overall (by the standards of webnovel), there are inevitable typos, but they never impactfully disrupt the reading flow.

There are also problems with the pacing and characterisation.

Some plot progressions have no set up. Meanwhile, some set ups are not followed through and skipped, ignored by the author. One example of this was in chapter 14,

when the Akira taught Earth magic to Yuki. She prefaced it that her teaching method was different from Aether's method. Yet, in the next chapter, the Author time-skipped, and never showed the Aether's method. It happened offscreen, so how Akira's method differed from Aether's method was never explained

As for characterisation problem, you can see it after reading a few chapters. The protagonist motivation and actions seem inconsistent.

Believing in the high rating given by other readers, I will continue reading for now. The author might have improved after much writing, and later chapters are better.

Love this story.

It's pretty unique and doesn't shy away from uncomfortable things like gore and cannibalism, I've just always been the type of person to enjoy a dark fantasy here and there.

Oh and, don't know why people keep getting confused about this, but the MC is a boy who looks like a girl, not a boy who turned into a girl, as of the chapter that I am reading, so I guess he would fit right in with Astolfo from Fate- another plus to the story as Astolfo is always a win!

Spoiler

A comment told me that he does actually become a girl later in the story, so that Gender Bender tag is definitely warranted

Was enjoing it till chapter 160ish, then I started to get sick of it, the story is good but I think It should have been mado to advance much faster, the romance parte is especially slow, im taking a pause from this one to read something more lighthearted.

Edit: for some reason the site registered my 4 star reviw as a 0 star rewiev wich I dont think should be possible, anyway I put 4 stars thoug to me its more like 3/3.5
