Throughout the novel it has been a great read, really. I honestly didn't expect it to be that good, it felt like I was reading the novel written by a professionalist. The depth behind characters and dynamics between them were simply amazing, even side cast was pretty darn good in how they pushed and made the story more dynamic. I also liked the world building of the school and its environment. It really felt that Kagami wasn't the center of the world which is a good thing. Tbh, I initially expected the story to focus waaay more on philosophical aspect, however the amount of psychological depth behind Serena and Kagami was simply magnificent. In the end it turned out to be veeery well balanced, making it a great read even for people who don't appreciate philosophy itself. I also prefer psychological stories yet I liked the implemented philosophy as well. It is also crucial to talk about the developement behind the two main protagonists which was brilliant. They went under tremendous growth and their writing still stayed consistent. Considering the sheer complexity of their psyche, I found it really impressive.
Also, I do really hope you'll work on the sequel. I still think it has crazy potential, especially in the aspects such as themes portrayal, expanding even further their dynamics and development, and obviously the conclusion which I hold high expectations for. The build up for their display of their first ever performance together with high stakes involved made me really excited for the next volume.🙏
