"Well-deserving of a 5-star rating! This academy novel truly stands out among the rest. Initially, it lulls you with a familiar premise, making you believe it's just another ordinary tale. However, by chapter 30, the narrative takes a gripping psychological turn, revealing the harrowing dangers lurking in the world of the story.
The characters are masterfully crafted. Scarlet, the protagonist, is a relatable office worker trapped in a female body. Initially, her situation may seem humorous, but as you progress, you empathize with her struggles for survival, making her a compelling main character.
Sylvia, the original female lead, starts off as a complex character – initially frustrating, but as her motivations become clear, you develop a nuanced understanding and appreciation for her growth throughout the story.
Lastly, Si Woo, the original main character, initially comes across as annoying due to some questionable decisions. But his character development is nothing short of remarkable; he undergoes significant transformation, becoming one of my favorite characters by the end. And yes, there's a romantic subplot involving him – go, Si Woo!
Overall, this novel offers a captivating blend of genres, making it a must-read for fans of academy stories and compelling character journeys."
