Consuming multiple chapters of a webtoon? Sign me up! Now this is my first time reading a manga that’s been collected into a book, so I was anticipating being able to read the whole story. My mistake, I know. So aside from the let down of not getting to read the full story, I think this first book was a good start for the world building and introducing the main couple. But the world building was about 90% of the book, we barely got anything about the MCs love interest. He was introduced…around for maybe the equivalent of 2-3 chapters and then cliffhanger. Not cool. Makes me want to go on strike, like I would for a webtoon, come back in a year and see how much further the stories gotten. If experience is any indication, the story won’t have progressed much further 😂 but there will be peak romantic tension. So maybe this will be peak webtoon greatness in 2 years.
Sunny’s backstory was interesting. Another reason I would’ve liked to have him in more of the story, to find out more about him. Why he’s being pursued by demons, why he’s hiding at a school and just more of his personality.
What we learned about Ezra was more about his crisis of faith, his job and attending school. He seems like he’s the sunshine of the Grumpy/Sunshine pairing that is being set up. So I would recommend this series to manga fans…who have a bit more patience than I do.
✅ Spinoff novella nomination:
I’m guessing that Sister Samson will be part of the second couple…maybe with someone from the Great Church. Possibly Adina? She has some sort of mystery going on – and they hated each other from the start, so why not 🥰
