hi! I don't often leave comments for these kinds of things, but I really wanted to share my thoughts.
I used to be a huge bookworm when I was younger, but I found that a lot of novels couldn't really keep me engaged as I got older and almost entirely dropped reading as a hobby. Then I stumbled onto this, was skeptical at first but it only took a few pages and I was hooked. I ended up finishing it in one straight session!
I'm really impressed by the balance between the writing feeling refined while staying engaging and fun. I love the worldbuilding and setting too (seriously Italian renaissance/steampunk is awesome) can't wait to read more through the story <3
also has yuri so 10/10
