On a fleeting whim I decided to try out the novel and was entranced. Love, love, loved it! You can really see how much planning the author MXTX put into it and I love me some complex characters. I love having visuals (and so many things are amazing unsaid), but novels just have so much room to put in other details! This novel has so many things I love about stories so it's definitely going on my shelf, although I can't understand the original text it literally scratches all my itches. The line between angst and edge is tricky and it pretty much nailed it for me! I can definitely see my tastes now aha.
I do so hope that it gets an official English release one day! In the mean time I already went and snapped up some official merchandise. The worst thing about missing a fandom in its heyday is missing out on the convention artist alley opportunities to get merch haha... especially since the copyright control on this series is so tight. I'm definitely looking to get art though! I have already scoured for the audio dramas and donghua/live drama soundtracks as well haha!
