i just finished this today... i have so many thoughts

this was SO GOOD! but it wasn't *so fucking good* and there's a few reasons as to why:

**note i am only talking about the main story. not the side stories and extras.

1. i feel like the story was a little difficult to follow as the drama rose. very wordy panels which can be fine, and maybe this is user/reader error but i was a little confused as chapters progressed.
2. in my opinion, the world in which we were thrown into had so many factors. angels, demons, humans, the use of doors, absorption. several characters, each with intense feelings and emotions, side couples to the max...All of which is GREAT! However, it made the story bounce back and forth and it was hard to keep up at times. i really just wanted some stability.
3. introducing new characters 70-90 chapters in is BOLD. I like bold authors, but it was hard for me to feel connections to some of the new characters simply bc there wasn't even enough time to.
4. omg, the confusing villains. Who is the real villain? At first we thought satan, obvi! but then it was sid, and then a fucking angel metatron, megatron, mega-whoever tf. and the whole time chaos is ensuing in heaven, earth, and hell i'm like WHERE TF IS GOD?!? hahahaha. i liked being thrown in for a loop tho! so i wouldn't say this is a minus. just a thought.
5. I will die on the hill that this story should've started w Cain, Satan, the story of the angels and demons, the war that was breaking out and ended with Cain getting that shard stuck in his chest. THEN switch to Joon. i felt like we were being thrown with hella background story that took like 3 chapters to finally understand why i'm looking at a new character...i feel like if hell, heaven, and the pre-Joon and Cain drama wouldve been fleshed out...it would be less confusing...maybe??
6. Joon's best friend... i felt so bad for him at first. but after Sid fucked with his memories and he forgot he was in love w Joon, i was kinda happy. bc he was able to finally fall in love someone who felt the same. I was PISSED when his memories returned and he left Aaron. Aaron is hella old and probably understood why he left. Joon's best friend needed to see him happy with Cain. but if his memories returned he should've already known Joon was taken?? He heard them fuck like 3 days before...
7. Joon's r*pe was UN-FUCKING-NECESSARY. Satan literally couldve just beat tf outta Cain and ran away with Joon. lazy writing imho.
8. chapter 129-130 almost made me throw my entire pc lmaoooo. but it redeemed itself.

4/5 stars for me. i think this couldve been like 2-3x longer for better pacing....but who tf has time for that?? this is pretty good story! i'll miss this couple.
