The narrative was exceptional, with a captivating plot that kept me engaged. The characters were complex and well-developed, displaying depth through their flaws and personal struggles. The story delved into a dark romance, where each character's past traumas and dilemmas significantly influenced their actions. It combined elements of mature drama, action, romance, and sensuality, making for a compelling read.
However, my main issue lay with the translation. Despite the translator's efforts, the quality left much to be desired. The translated text disrupted the flow of the story, diminished the emotional intensity, and occasionally caused confusion due to inconsistent gender references. For instance, with Yuri (ML's right-hand), I found it hard to distinguish between male and female due to the translation errors. Similarly, Hayan/White's gender presentation was inconsistent across chapters, which was quite confusing.
Reading the story became a challenge at times, as I struggled with unclear dialogue and scenes that didn't seem to make sense, possibly due to poor translation. Although the ending provided a satisfactory conclusion, I wished for a deeper, emotionally resonant, and more satisfying finale.
Nonetheless, I would still recommend giving this story a chance. The storyline itself is strong, and the characters are intriguing. I do hope another translation, perhaps by NoveltyRead, will provide a better reading experience. Fingers crossed for that!
