Sure some of it is entertaining but the writing comes off very juvenile. I know Gen Z is young and whatnot but they do not express themselves with such cringe. Sometimes I wondered if I was listening to someone's secret fanfiction(dot)net. I felt it was esspecially obvious on the adult bits (which happens to be most of the 'story'). The manner in which someacts were described came off as written by someone who has no understanding of sex. Even rough sex has to be done right, speaking of which to me it all felt like a big tease and not the good kind. Despite all the supposedly 'kinky' sex the main characters were having,it felt dull and boring, like watching someone inexpeienced trying to teach a lesson on the subject.Like being with someone who can't really find the clit despite teasing all the right places around it, leaving you craving some release but knowing it will never happen.
It does a good job at keeping you curious enough to push through the finish line. Writing does a wonderful job at exploring the philosophical topics of 'what is a human being?', 'right and wrong' within the 'in world' boundaries/laws the author established. Looking forward to understanding magic and the supernatural in this reality. The adult scenes, though dragged on and unncessary in some places; were something I enjoyed them immensely. The author has a talent for creating vivid detailed images. I will admit, there were moments that made me wondered if it was truly the series for me but ultimately the writing proved to be interesting enough to make me add the next two on my TBL list.
