Miri put both, her MCs and readers, through the wringer with this book, and I guess I'm a masochist because I enjoyed every minute of it. I swear to god, these two have a Murphy's law thing going on, because everything keeps going wrong, but when they finally get to be together, it is just beautiful
Updating after reading to Chapter 167:
The translation quality has significantly improved since my initial review and is now quite readable. There are still some grammatical errors, primarily related to sentence structure, which can make the prose feel a bit stilted and awkward. However, the text remains clearly understandable despite the occasional poorly constructed sentence.
The less common errors that can make the text hard to follow tend to occur in dialogue, particularly in translating Miyagi's curt way of speaking. Even when the words don't always make perfect sense, the overall meaning and feeling of what is being said are still conveyed effectively.
The story itself continues to get better. It's a fantastic slow-burn romance that steadily intensifies, keeping you engaged with every chapter. I was so hooked that I ended up buying all the yet-to-be-released chapters.

Himi-cat's review captures my thoughts on this work, though I might have been a bit harsher in my criticism:
- The translation quality is not just "pretty iffy—machine translation with limited editing." It's essentially machine translation with minimal or no editing by a native English speaker. I even considered offering my services as an editor, as a native English speaker could easily correct many of the grammar mistakes while reading each chapter. The most glaring issues are the male pronouns appearing in a YURI work where 99% of the pronouns should be female. Despite the poor translation, it is still readable (if you mentally edit as you go), and the characters' emotions and thoughts are still conveyed effectively.
- As Himi-cat mentioned, the story is almost entirely character-driven, focusing on the yuri relationship between the two main characters, with very little in terms of external plot or additional characters.
It is a very slow-burn yuri romance, but it works well because the characters are deeply introspective about their growing feelings and intimate moments. Their internal struggles and hesitations to deepen their relationship are believable, and the underlying emotions that drive them to get closer despite their fears make every small interaction compelling.
While there are occasional minor issues, I find the pacing of the novel quite appealing when compared to similar Chinese works in its genre. The overall setting is well-established, and尽管它借鉴了常见的中世纪奇幻元素，如教会、魔法和非人类角色，但作者并未生硬地植入或过分直白处理，保持了一定的自然度。
In terms of technology, although the details are not extensively explored, there's a sense of realism that keeps the story engaging without becoming a tedious information overload. I could elaborate further, but for now, this summarizes my thoughts.
This isn't an unique fanfic as there were some others with same plot. But the thing is that it has the best execution so far and to be honest, even if it has irregular updates, it's the only one still not dropped. I hope the the author can continue through the ups and downs. ?
Some people have this long fingers so it's not weird or out of reality.
The premise is interesting but the writing quality, I'm sorry to say, is bad. There's too much exposition about things we don't care about, so much foreshadowing, the comparisons really hurt to read and more.
Is this novel dropped ? I don't feel that chapter 763 is how this was supposed to end. If it does end after 763 then what a waste
