It was just okay. Reading this, you can definitely tell it was pretty much ripped straight from a webtoon comic. Great for fans of the webtoon who want a physical copy— not so great for newcomers expecting a graphic novel experience. It has the self published unedited feeling of a webtoon. The art was mostly boring.

I found myself wishing for more exposition and hand-holding, which felt weird. But so many concepts weren't elaborated on that I felt it hard to care about this fantasy world and it's people. What does it really mean for someone to order an emotion as a flavor? What does the Council do other than nebulously take care of... stuff? Why do I feel like I never have a clear understanding of Ray's personality or inner conflict, even when I'm reading her inner monologue?

I had more questions than answers, and not in the fun and interesting way. It was a light read, but not a super easy one. Felt like a slog.
