Codie Catamarie
Love, love, love this book!
It came at the perfect time when I was wanting a corporate novel.
The characters are alive (ha) and the prose is engaging and gripping. Not a scene is wasted. Everything looped back to each other and built into a complex web. The reader is able to track each thought process of the characters as it builds towards their patterns, choices, and beliefs.
As said in the acknowledgements, I'm glad the author went further and deeper. I've never been more happy to read social commentary. It felt so fantastical yet so grounded. Just, yes.
The comedy was electric. The banter was fun and I felt I was in the room with them--happy to watch them jump at each other.
I'm extremely excited to see what this author does in the future. A fantastic novel and an even more fantastic debut.

This is a light novel I would recommend to read.
I was personally disappointed because I thought it was setting up a 'fall from grace' storyline. But it did not deliver on that. Shanti is also not that important to the story.
It's a good read but didn't deliver what it promised which is why the rating is so low. However, I still recommend reading it despite it not focusing on the title of the book--as long as you know that before beginning.
It's super cool to the Vocaloid fandom expand into a light novel. Kaito has my heart.

First book that I got sucked into and couldn't fully analyse as I was reading. I'm excited to dive further into the gerne of Danmei.

Dropped at 13% (Chapter 8). Really enjoyed the start and the writing style but then the plot became stagnate. The love interest in boring, lacking depth or interest. The world building was intriguing but finding out the answers would require me to keep reading.
I do not wish to see the rest of the book play out.
