  • Quick Final Review (spoiler-free)

    Characters like Lefiya and Luluna always tire me out. Their presences, and some other irrelevant matters, caused this to be rather boring for me. Regardless of that, I actually cared for this---for characters like Aiz, Asfi (not much, but still), or Finn
    At this point in time, general developments don’t concern me too much because I’m already somewhat acquainted with the overall impact they will have on Orario… Matter of fact, I’m pretty frantic to move on faster

    I really just can’t get myseld to like a character like Lafiya, if not limited to her. At least not yet… Anyway, I reckon this volume was a pretty nice bump over the previous ones, specially due to its weighty scenes

  • Final Thoughts (spoiler-free)

    I skimmed through it all. I was only a bit interested in Tione & Tiona’s plot. Besides, most if not all of what happens in this volume seemed pretty damn pointless and useless, generally…
    Incidentally, the antagonists have been quite meh so far in the entire title

    I liked this one, though once again it was the shaking scenes that entertained me the most. Little else, is the issue. The general developments now feels more revitalizing though

  • Final Review

    Pretty enjoyable read despite low expectations, which it exceeded by a mile. I specially enjoyed the premise’s development, but also the characters in general---this prelude of a story as a whole
    I was relieved that Astrea Familia’s demise had not yet happened at the point in time… I would have felt it. Would’ve been too much. It also allowed me to grasp the impact it will take later on in-universe
    Alfia’s ending did felt a little…little. Maybe it was underwhelming. Not sure if I just expected more from her character. At the time, that is. I didn’t feel that way much longer. Anyway, I loved it, all in all. Erebus, Zald, and Alfia were so lovely, and my favorite patt of this story
