there are people who will love this. as for me, it all just read boring, and the anachronisms were really weird rather than funny. also whatever good abt the story i could've possibly found became nil after dealing with yet another boring, sexist trope when one of the meagre three female characters (including the fmc) was written as a jealous, conniving jilted lover of the mmc who's got it out for the fmc. i am not a fan of #notlikeothergirls writing, it's not 2014. i just can't find the romance, or eroticism in positioning these female characters in opposition and making the mmc choose between them nor could i really find it similarly in his own existence in opposition to regular men or demons 'who wouldn't center the fmc's pleasure'. lucca is a flat character tbh, and yes it is a novella with limited space for proper characterization, but ik more about the fmc and her father than i do him. again, someone will love this story, but it is not me 🙏🏽
