This is, by far, one of the most captivating novels I've come across in a concise number of chapters. The translation is seamless, and the author's skill in presenting characters and establishing the world's dynamics is impressive. Although the character introductions initially seem a bit convoluted, the author gradually unravels the confusion through their dialogues, piquing readers' interest in the intricate world-building. The main characters remain shrouded in intrigue, as their curiosity drives their interactions without delving too deeply into each other's secrets, respecting personal boundaries. I particularly appreciate stories that leave room for speculation, encouraging readers to actively engage with the plot as they piece together the mysteries.
