No plot, no characterization, no cool worldbuilding, no romance even??? Like, this is only fun if you want to see two girls be bullied nonstop, violently and dangerously? I do guess there is the "whisked away to magic land from sucky life" and "here are categories the reader can sort themself into" elements, but they're also not very good? 

Everyone is constantly horny, but even if you're in it for the smut, there's only one smut scene in the book? So I just really don't get it.
