THEEEEE most annoying MC I have ever had the displeasure of reading. This book was a train wreck you can’t look away from and made me both happy and annoyed to be part of this community. This is definitely more for people who want an all-vibe book with a loose plot. I hated the MC but glad I continued to watch this mess
