Wow, I’m taken aback for words.  This series has given me everything I could ask for: transformations, reveals, a hero’s villain origin story, villains just for the sake of evil, slow burn romance, a good mixture of smut and fluff, great plot and story and characters, it’s all there. It does get a bit confusing if you’re not familiar with how naming goes in this book, but once you catch on it gets easier.  This was such a great read.  Thank you, Alicia, for holding me hostage and keeping me from watching its show equivalent until I finished this.

Absolutely gorgeous book. I haven't cried in months, and this had me in tears several times. Not only is the story incredible, the translation is also done so well (much better than the official translation, that's for sure). Overall, this just has so much heart and soul in it, and it genuinely restored my faith in humanity. Go read it (only after checking the content warnings, tho, it can be very intense).

Lots of subtle homophobia and misogyny. There's some dubious consent towards the very end, and the extras have some pretty risque nsfw scenes.

Sure the book focus on the flaws of WWX in order to "fix every bad thing he did" in his previous life, but, forme, the real plot swings between bro-bro relationship and complicated parents-sons relationship. Both WWX and antagonists had to choose between do the right thing or survive/archieve something.

I loved it, like this os one of my personality traits now, but, there are some problems, the stereotypes of gay people, the lack of diversity in the females characters and some major plot holes thar were left unexplained. I love this story with my whole heart, but still has things that would be nice if changed.

Though it's never treated in text as unwanted or nonconsentual, the sex life of the main characters isn't great consent-wise. The first time they sleep together, one appears drunk (his characterization lead to fans speculating that he'd sobered up, but as far as I know there's no canonical consensus), and the next time the other voices protests that go largely ignored, though he never truly dislikes it. Nothing awful, but proceed with caution.

 This book... how i can describe this book without saying I loved the characters so much (not all the characters tho) but the majority of them warmed my heart through all the lecture... 

 Was indeed such a ride, so many emotions and some many thoughts, but some many injustices too, some many people would say that there were no bad people in the characters but i dont think so. 

 Following my ideas, i think that this is a book about Injustices, miscommunication and misunderstandings... this book really show us how the History is written by the winners and how people in power will do whatever they want just because they can and how people will do WHATEVER THINGS just to get that power. 

 Of course this is a book about love (and sacrifice) the main couple is just something else, sometimes i was screaming of love and another time i was calling them idiots (they were) but they loved each other since the beginning ... i just get along with the pretty well i really like them so much. The last phrases of the novel (the main novel and the extras) were so pretty, like look at this last phrase of the extras... isn't it cute? 

 Tens of thousands of words were left unspoken, in exchange for endless laughter and hugs.

They loved each other so much

This book really ended in my Top 10 of books 

a relecture in the future? OF COURSE YES i have the feeling that this novel (and TGCF too) is better after a very good relectures. 

Notes: i have my opinions about some fetishisms showed especially in the extras but i feel like that topic doesnt ruin the novel and is a fetishism after all (i didnt like it but every couple with their things i guess)
