The tone and pace is so much more together and fun than in the short-compilation volume 17 :- D
However, every story from the previous volume is referenced and woven into the main thread in a significant manner :>
This is a fun prelude to the Great War between the angels and the devils (天魔大戦).
There are some pretty good twists and some head-scratching frustrations (culminating in a sort of artificial cliff-hanger, which is a standard technique :- p).
Well, here's to waiting until September for the next volume 🥂🍻
