I can't believe i'm saying this, but the anime is so much better. I'm not sure i will even continue reading the series

like the story and the love interest but the MC is super annoying

i really didn't like the way their relationship started. it felt manipulative. and i truly think seiichi took advantage of nao in the beginning. but i guess the end was wholesome enough so i let it go

i wanted more for the first story. some kind of happy conclusion would have been nice

this is just too cliche

this is too cute. it has no right to be this cute

i should've dnf-ed it. man, i really should have. all the japan related talk was so bad. and i'm also into that culture and media but man, this is atrocious. just no
the fact that this was so mild is on me, i should've read the description more properly and not picked it up at all but i can't deny i was disappointed nothing happened. and all the painting kink was really not my thing, i kept rolling my eyes on it.
the whole rich boy issues... sigh. ouran host club did it better if we're going there. and honestly it's an insult to that wonderful series that i'm even comparing. but in all honesty, this was just extremely cliche and not in a fun way.
tbh the only reason it's not a one star is cause nothing made me outright angry. like yeah it was bad, not not so bad that i was actively rage reading it. i was just reading it cause i needed smth on the background and i guess it was /fine/ enough for that. i didn't want to stop and try to choose smth else.

also! i don't recommend the audiobook

this is stupid but cute xD

this is kind of stupid but in the best way. i haven't enjoyed myself so much while reading a book in a long time. i loved everything about it, even the predictable bits. and the fact that it actually went there only adds to my enjoyment of it even if i feel sorry for what happened.

i really enjoyed this art style. i think i prefer it to the one of the film

We need more Chuuya (yes, I know about the next arc)

the end of my favourite arc and the start of... a drag that i wish wasn't a thing. ~sigh~ here we go

teacher/student but not really focused on this aspect. felt more like “emotionally unavailable” seme conflict than anything else. even age difference didn't really come up. i don't think we even know how old the teacher guy is tbh.
still cute but can barely be put in the teacher/student category, which is unfortunate

how is this book so fun? i enjoyed it so much! i predicted some of the twists but it didn't sour my enjoyment in the least.

i actually liked november, the main character, which is rare for me. usually i find female main character, especially the ones like her, to be just so annoying. but her i liked. i had a pretty good idea of who we could or couldn't trust and i was right, because the role distribution is pretty typical tbh, but i liked that as well. i liked aarya, another type of character who would usually annoy me. i like layla. i liked ash. and i like the whole concept of secret houses and the school and the lessons they are taught in it. honestly the only one that would have made this a 6 out of 5 book for me, aka unnecessary but i'd love it, is if this was supernatural.

but as it stands, just can't wait to pick up the next book!

this is the best one yet. i enjoyed it so much!

this is 1.5 at the most

at first i was neutral, waiting for the plot of actually get interesting.
then i was bored because if they are already together, what is the point of the book again?
then i was cringing because i like cheese, but this was so cheesy. and not done right, at least not to my taste.
and then i gradually moved from annoyed to pissed off.
this so didn't work for me, it's honestly astounding.

the series is only getting better and i'm so here for it. can't wait to start the next volume

one of my favourite volumes

first 2/3 are more of agency filler, that i don't care about but then! finally! the start of my favourite arc.

still wish we had more chuuya

a bit of a filler volume

this is so good and cute omg. my new favourite thing. can't wait for the anime to come out in january

goddammit

this was cute. very insta love but who cares. theo nly two things that i was a bit meh about is the moment when one of the main characters leaves and then coms back. i feel like it should have had more of an impact. and i don't even mean in a sense that the other one accepted him back way too quickly [which is absolutely, he did] but emotionally, for the amount of the consequences that happened, i feel like the character who left should have felt more guilty about it and in general was more remorseful. second is the whole demon plot. it was resolved way too quickly. and i wish there were more interactions between the demon ans the necromancer character. there was such a cool implication that the demon might want him for himself. and i was half hoping some kind of kidnapping would happen and the paladin character would have to bring the necromancer character back from there rather than from some shadow magic. honestly, i think for me THAT would have been the perfect resolution to that arc. like when the paladin was coming after him, feeling smth bad, and he got there to him all in shadows if before he even has the chance to try the demon appears and swoops the necromancer away. so now he needs to find him and bring him back to humanity not inly from the shadows but from the demon as well. and he thinks it doesn't work and is about to get killed by the demon and this is when the whole arrow thing happens and he realises it did work and the necromancer did the whole sacrifice his freedom there. as it stands now, i felt the ending was a bit underwhelming for me

Omegaverse is probably my least favourite yaoi trope. ... I guess there IS always an exception

That was smth. Smth I enjoyed. I actually find this world idea much funner for me than omegaverse
