[Two female leads, Western fantasy, ensemble cast, both devoted to one another, 1v1, a frank cat and a magic user full of secrets]
Yu Sumu is the most gifted magic user around. She mastered in three years at the Academy of Magic what takes others more than a decade to learn.
But even the most brilliant talents can be struck down by fate. The moment she graduated, she learned she didn’t have long to live.
With only a century to her name, how could she fit in among a human race of immortals?
The headmaster recognized her talent and wanted her to stay on as a teacher.
Yu Sumu: Please, she only has a hundred years left. Don’t even call me about a job. The answer’s no.
“I want to find the meaning of life,” she said.
Not really. It was just an excuse to avoid staying at the Academy.
But everyone believed her, so she had no choice but to set off on a journey.
Only, why did a black cat latch onto her the moment she left the Academy and refuse to go?
And what was that about liking the way she smelled!?
She’d been conned into taking it along!!!
Well, she couldn’t beat the black cat, so she had to give in.
And this cat was so adorable it ought to be illegal!
The journey was long, and Yu Sumu met all kinds of people along the way.
A highly gifted potion-maker with a wildly unpredictable temper.
A chuuni boy who kept shouting that he wanted to slay a dragon.
A tsundere elf who was awkward but took her promises seriously.
An elegant, refined pureblood elf who looked down on everyone equally.
A half-blooded saint protected by tree spirits.
[The author has their own worldbuilding. Yu Sumu is already powerful from the start (the author doesn’t want to put the poor girl through hardship), and the kitty is the most precious, pampered cat in the world!!!]
I like it very much, but it's a pity that when I read this article, it was already in discontinued mode.
It took a long time, but I only remembered the author's scraps when I was in a book shortage () Rating: 5 I'm on the fence, but I think it should be okay. ——To be honest, I really didn't expect that after such a long time, he would actually have a completed book (such a big cub, Vision), I can't help it ( ◑ⅴ◐ )
It's a setting I like, so I jumped right in 😄 I'll give it 4 stars first and wait to see if I can write about it later.
The plot is good and the writing is very special. The only drawback is that the emotional line feels a little slow 😘
