The dialogue is flowery, they communicate through a magical mirror (with no explanation as to why it even exists or how it works), Shaal's country felt like some vague exotic country in another world entirely--Heck, they had some foreign country gift him spices or something and said they had a beautiful princess?? It was weird to see him in a plane, like Japan isn't far from his place. There's a loooot of things that are strange in this story. Best not to think about the trivial details because it'll ruin the magic. It's a beautiful story despite its flaws. I enjoyed it. V:
It was cute until they jumped into stupid conclusions when a "wait what do you mean?" would solve it ugghhhhh
And how could they even communicate? Is this a parallel universe where everyone speaks the same language?
