This was so lovely!! The descriptions are so well written it really helps paint such a detailed world full of different senses. I’m happy that Aseroe managed to maybe start breaking down some of those self-imposed walls, so cute T^T. Nettle is such a great character, what a great way to ramp up the conflict!! The updates to the character designs, the style of writing and the presentation in general are all so good! I like the way you’ve expanded the worldbuilding too, getting to learn more about the reapers and the void, it feels like this series could end up really epic in scale (or it could just be an epic backdrop to something more cozy and intimate). I don’t want to say much in case of spoilers but… smells, and tentacles yay! Lol I’m excited to see more!
