   Super good! ❤️ The council has such a high level of sophistication!! The characters with pseudonyms are all so fleshed out, like real people! The real characters aren't really invisible either. The writing style is natural and smooth, the fight scenes are clean and crisp. The low rating is because it's newly released, and the author has been quick to update more chapters!
