      The opening chapters felt sorta tedious as being already familiar with the world system of this series is no wonder, but it certainly caught my interest the more I read

    • Quick Final Review (spoiler-free)

      Characters like Lefiya and Luluna were tiring me out, their presences and other irrelevant matters render this rather boring. But regardless of that, I actually care for this, mostly for characters like Aiz, Asfi (not much, but still) or Finn
      At this point, development (in general) doesn’t concern me much ’cause I’m already somewhat familiar with it…as a matter of fact, I’m pretty much frantic to advance faster

      I just can’t bring myself to like a character like Lafiya [yet]… But anyway, I thought this vol. was a pretty nice bump over the previous ones; the pivotal moments made me like it as such

    • Final Thoughts (spoiler-free)

      I skimmed through it all ngl, I was interested in Tione and Tiona’s plot, but I was already familiar with them from the manga I read a while ago
      Besides that, most
      if not all of the β€œhappenings” seemed pretty damn pointless/useless to me…
      Incidentally, the villains have been lame asf so far.

    • Final Review

      A pretty enjoyable read, I got so from this. Despite going into it with low expectations, one could say it exceeded them; I loved the scenes, characters and this prelude of a story as a whole
      I was so glad that Astrea Familia’s…demise wasn’t at this point in time. I would’ve felt it, for real. But this let me gasp the impact it will take later on
      Alfia's ending did felt a little…little, though… At the time, that isβ€”I felt so no more after reading on. Underwhelming, even. Dunno, I just expected more from her character at the time. But I loved them allβ€”Erebus, Zald, and Alfia
