etherealism

Just binge-read the whole novel in 2 days, the story is addictive if this is your cup of tea (read a bunch of reviews complaining that this is a cliche story, doesn't apply to me because I loved it).

Story: I really liked the pacing of the whole novel, not too rushed, not too draggy. There's also a decent number of side story chapters and I really liked them. I was overall satisfied with the ending as it wasn't an absurd "let's go with the ending that caters to fans", but something that fit with the whole flow of the novel. I cried quite a bit here and there because I'm an emotional wreck that feels for fictional characters/emotional scenes :P

Characters: I gave it a rating of 6 for a reason, whch I will not go into details as I do not want to include too many spoilers. I'm kinda sad that some characters did not have much character development. What I really liked was FL not being a typical soft-hearted woman, but one that keeps her experiences engraved in her mind. In a story filled with emotional abuse, there were quite a few heartwarming scenes with the other characters.

Art: The only art I've seen are those of the FL and MLs and I felt that they were beautiful - a 10/10, but as this is a novel and not a manhwa, I've excluded it from the ratings.
