I don't like the narration style of an interview about stuff that already happened.
Surprise genderplague backstory from 400 years earlier! Not a fun surprise, I'm out, especially when the kingdom(?) in the present is "proud of its perfectly even gender demographics".

Opens with a visceral description of birth.

It starts with a character whose limb difference is medically corrected in the first paragraph, this made me uneasy, because it allows for a bunch of ableist situations without actually having the character be physically different. I gave it a bit longer but never recovered my good will, I don't like this.

Fatphobia in the very first paragraph.
Content Warnings
Minor: Fatphobia
Very description- and action-heavy, even the calm moments are packed with descriptions of where everyone is and exactly what they're doing. Not what I'm looking for.

The beginning felt off, it just didn't work for me.
Couldn’t handle it.

I missed that this was a rom-com. If I had I would have passed on this one altogether since that's a genre I almost never like. If you want a queer romcom about getting magical revenge on a cheater, you might like this. It's just not my thing.
