This novel is just so good.It's got a great blend of humor, mystery, action, drama along with a good dose of healthy affectionate love between the MC and ML... along with exploring complex family/sibling dynamics! Spoiler
Sibling reconciliation and redemption arcs are my guilty pleasure... so this was definitely right up my alley
[collapse]The MC and ML are capable and intelligent and so so good to each other. It's actually amazing and really romantic. There are sooo many instances of great teamwork and communication between them, I could gush on and on. Spoilerromantic moments include: MC accompanying and actively assisting with ML's rehab re medical injuries; ML secretly making plans to actively help MC for their future; meticulously planning dates; GENUINELY COMMUNICATING to resolve misunderstandings...
[collapse] Simply put, they really complement each other.The arcs get fairly intense. While initially I was a bit hesitant due to the strange premise (felt like I had to suspend my disbelief at the very beginning re the criminal organisation and background of the world), I soon was drawn into the world and the story kept getting more and more engrossing. The revenge plot and the way everything unfolds is dark but very satisfying, with funny and light moments in between.Can't wait for more chapters!
