Too bad it's not completed yet! It has such a unique premise but as usual I'm gonna nitpick!
First off, I love the story and the art, the characters have complexity and depth to them. But I find the world building lacking and the pacing around chapter 30s onwards dragging, since the focus is almost always on Adi and Jules. Yes we did get snippets on Adi's father and other characters but it's not enough. Adi is pretty complex but at times she feels flat, underdeveloped, and dumb? (I can't place my finger on it but its a combination of those). On the other hand, I find the romance between Adi and Jules forced in a sense that, yes they are exploring ways to undo the curse and fall in love, but both did not put in the effort to get to really know each other, go on dates, spar? basically, do things that will allow them to fall in love. There's handful of scenes where they opened up to each other, but on most occasions they just kept on kissing each other which I find disgusting because IRL it's hard to kiss someone you don't have feelings for especially in front of so many people.
Among the characters I love Joel and Bert!
Also, I find it bizarre how Jules was able to unknowingly put two and two together when it comes to Adrina? How he wished it was Adrina who's alive not Adrian. And how he cried for her, its just too sudden for me.
I mentioned earlier that I find the world building extremely lacking, thats because I need explanations. Like, why did everyone in the estate hated Adrina after Adrian's death? How come they didn't showmore characters with curses? Why did Adrina didn't bother to know more about her curse? What caused Adrian's death? Why is Adrina hated by Lev? What's Adrina's curse and how to undo it? I have so many questions after reading this but I forgot since I'm busy..
Despite these, I like the story and I hope that the author/artist will not butcher it. I have high expectations as it has so much potential. I hope that the author will give other characters more screen time and clarity on questions Ive mentioned above. And I hope that there will be revenge arc.
*my writing is all over the place because I haven't slept yet. I have so much readings to finish and papers to write (⊙…⊙ ). I just need to get this off my chest or else I'll forget.
