    Reader note

    The author's notes include illustrations. It's very immersive, especially the final chapters, which are full of twists and turns. It's newly completed, so no need to wait for it to finish... It gets better as you read on. There are no clichéd plot points like a villainous female supporting character or someone taking the fall for you. It's not mindless!! You'll want to stay up all night to finish it; the later chapters are even more exciting and immersive! It's not formulaic, and there are no disappointing endings.
