so uhmm being plural we really enjoyed the lynx girls, first plural rep we see (that we are aware of at least) that doesn't make them be deranged serial killers or whatever, it's quite refreshing, also had fun with how you subverted some harem tropes and in general it was a very fun read -Terracota

Yeah, okay, this is real good. It's honestly hard as hell to find good series on this site, so I'm writing this review in the hopes that somebody might read this and be swayed into reading.

It really feels like a real anime (or LN) style romcom that we're entering into mid-series, right as that comfortably formulaic series is turned on its head. And mad props for that. The way things are introduced to us is great as well - like they're old concepts for the "series", but still done in such a way that we can gain an understanding of what's going on.

The characters are, for the most part, great. They feel both like understandable archetypes from the type of series this draws inspiration from as well as fully realized characters of their own. Every person in love is given a believable reason for being in love, and nothing really feels forced or unbelievable.

Any complaints I have are minor and not worth bringing up here.

If you're a curious passerby, just, please read this. Thank you.

This story is a mad dash from beginning to end, and I for one, absolutely loved it. The character interactions were fantastic, and the comedy was absolutely superb. If you are reading this review, you should read it. It’s a cute story, and even the more dramatic stuff is handled with incredible tact and maturity. For what the story is trying to accomplish, it’s phenomenal. I love this story, and if you’ll love it too.

A friend linked this story back when it was just two entries long.  I've been following it ravenously ever since, and the story is a delight.  Svetlana's journey of self-discovery and growth has been great, and while I've never encountered a harem comedy with quite as crazy a premise as this - aliens, vampires, European royals, and the childhood friend?  Usually that's like three separate stories! - It gives you freedom to lampshade, mock, and also lovingly rib tropes from across the entire range of such stories.I'm writing this as of the end of Chapter 11, and I'm loving that four of the five girls so far have come around on Svetlana - while Augusta has definitely been the most self-centered and nastiest of the girls in regards to Svetlana's transition, I do genuinely hope the framing, both here and elsewhere, that she's redeemable comes true.  In part because she does seem to enjoy Svetlana's company on some level - if she didn't like her she wouldn't have stuck around so much - but mostly because I want a light fluffy story like this to have a solidly happy ending of "Svetlana gets to have all her girlfriends in a polycule all together". Anyways, congrats on the story so far, eagerly awaiting the next installment, and I'm unsure if O'tmyil or Thisbe is my favorite.

Awesome story full of love-filled chaos and chaos-filled love!

Contrived but somehow comforting, I might say?We don't read harem anime, and I suspect there are genre conventions in such stories about how relationships work between the protagonist and girls in the protagonist's orbit - particularly, how quickly people fall for the protagonist and how quickly those who hurt the protagonist are forgiven - that a more experienced reader in the genre wouldn't be bothered by, but... I mean, it's fine? It's ridiculous, but as the story tumbles along the trail of that ridiculousness and the more-comfortable-for-us action-scene ridiculousness, there's LGBTQ+ self-discovery, cuteness in friendship and romance, affirmations of queer and plural identities, deadpan comedy, banter... it's nice.

I loved the story. At this moment I am preparing to read the others.

What I liked the most is that, even though it was a comedy, the moments of action and the different adventures of the protagonists were so well combined that the plot absorbed me. This is not a simple comedy, it is a masterpiece.

Absolutely adored this story.

There is something to taking that specific genre that is the wacky harem comedy, specifically the variant that enjoys throwing in every sort of speculative fiction tool and the kitchen sink too into the narrative blender, and reinventing it with a very queer sensibility.

I can see the connecting tissue between this and some of your other work, but just within this story the worldbuilding you put into place is excellent, balancing well on the narrow ledge between fleshed out details and not getting bogged down in them.

The central cast are certainly a delight, each evocative of their archetype but singular in the details. As much as I started to read this for the central character's gender journey, I honestly found myself even more appreciative of the plural depiction with Mynx, since finding good representation there is hard and I wasn't even expecting it here.

Giving the polycule a strong sense of an arc both in how they each respond to the protagonist's coming out and in the ways their own relationships change and evolve is also a move I truly adored. The former especially, with the new girlfriends who has the hardest time coming to terms with things, went on long enough to feel narratively satisfying in their conclusions, while also not overstaying their welcome.

Last note, and truly it's a small thing, but Ot'myl (possibly misspelled, writing this on my phone before a job interview) is such a great character, and the way you wrote her in this truly just made my android-loving lesbian ass more interested in playing with similar ideas in the future.

Love this story, truly excellent work.

I really enjoyed reading this story. Strong trans characters, strong other characters, lesbians, more lesbians. Heck, this is the first story I've seen direct plural representation in as well! I enjoyed the characters, and the sort of one-at-a-time approach really allowed me to connect to each of them well. Also, chaotic antics reminiscent of, well, a lot of harem animes, except portrayed in a way which is actually understanding of the ways in which they work and don't work. It was a good read, and I'm glad I found it!

In terms of the trans storylines, this story excelled. Two strong trans characters for entirely different reasons, with different personalities, non-binary characters directly stated, worldbuilding which made sense but didn't needlessly restrict things based on gender, et cetera. Heck yeah!
