    I absolutely love these three gods! It's so hard to choose. The competition between the gods is just so captivating! And the female lead, as a human, isn't the kind of character you cautiously try to win over; instead, she's very self-respecting, independent, and dignified. She's truly a beautiful, cunning, and sweet girl. The author's writing style is excellent; it's not the typical weak, dependent romance novel.
