After Eliezer mentioned that it passed 'the IQ test' for readable fiction I was interested in investigating.
I read the first 3 episodes (of 12) at 3am on the 4th of August. I didn't like the characters, found the whole thing extremely cringey, and considered it true to the generally detestable treatment of female characters in manga and anime.
