So...I could practically feel the stress piling up on the heroine. I could practically feel a numb tingling in my brain as the heroine worked tough several stages of escalating madness and escapism once failure proved to be inevitable. And finally become something...MAGNIFICENT!
Oh. And the timing is awesome.
I think her psychological portrait was done very well. She is both functional and deranged.
Asterion...Hmm. I'm a BL lover myself.So saying anything would mean betraying many BL troupes I love. So can't say much there. He is a cute white lotus bud, cute boy, but I feel he has a hidden side. Maybe, he'll be the plot twist late on. Otherwise, his character felt more like a plot device. No. I guess he is in fact a plot device.
The character I like the best is surely Human Excel, the fiance who doesn't seem like he'll be able to use his strength at night ^_^. That's just my preference, because I love sensitive, non-macho, non-feminine guys.
The story itself reminds me of these extremely
dramatic comedy thrillers. Where everything is exaggerated for the sake of being exaggerated. A Fellinisque Bollywood with a noble family backdrop.
I'm both feel bad for her and can't stop chuckling at her misfortune and hope someone up there doesn't stick me with a heavenly thunder for that.
Boromir Napolitan (the dragon boss name) - I had really mixed feelings when I read the name. Like, I felt like it's should be grand and cool sounding. Unfortunately, in my country Boromir is a brand of cheap wine widely sold in supermarkets. And napolitana is my given language equivalent of a wafer. So I was seeing a big dragon reminding me of the wine soaked bread given at church.
Appealing to both cat and dog lovers.
