[Fearsparrow · Rating 2 out of 5]

Alot of sexual scenes in bad taste, and final fight was really unsatisfying

[Lindsay · Rating 2 out of 5]

This had a great premise & interesting characters. Unfortunately, the writing was terrible. IDK if it was the author or the translator at fault, but this needed a good editor. Plus there was a lot of gratuitous & unnecessary rape/attempted rape. It's one thing when it's used in dark fantasy to show the gravity of the world, but this was definitely more fan-service. Gross.

Overall edgy, but decent. Sad that it's supposedly been canceled

Stopped at 2%, upon reading the words “thrust out her well-developed chest”. 🙄
