What's better than getting yourself a nice old lil book and THEN right after that, you find yourself in that book? Just a reminder, that book contains a protagonist that breezes through your logically difficult starter tutorials or whatnot, then absolutely avoids everyone so she can survive, or picks up the people who are useful then dumps them completely, and lastly is one of the most insufferable person to tame and will not be moved with small things. Then the villains! First off, they are difficult. One of them will give you headaches with his words, the other will be obsessive with keys, I have no idea how, and the last one was kind of chill. But she's a villain, so she has to have a important role. Why is a Seon Creature telling you this? And since Seon Creature have such good memory, can't recall all of the villains? Well, I didn't completely read the whole book. Kind of cool if you ask someone else who has a taste for unique books, death threatening if you ask the main character-- ahem. If you ask me. I'm not a foreteller or whatever those descendants of Zame Flower-Moon the Crown Tounge speaks about, but if you're in a situation like me, that's wild. No, it's wild.
