This was but a taste of the author's writing and I liked it. Liked the vibe. Could imagine a longer heist-like story with the characters.
This was only my second read with a trans MC, set in 1970, when I think gender reassignment surgeries were not that common. So this was definitely eye-opening for me. ':)

Regarding the price: for a 30 pages long story it is high, but considering the artwork at the end (some of it nsfw art), I find the price reasonable. Though I would have liked if the art pieces were not miniature, but each of them displayed on a full page.
I will at some point read the next in the series.
