4.5

This isn't anything crazy or unique or never done before, but whatever it sets out to do, it does exceedingly well. And for that, I think it deserves appreciation.

Be it the art, the characters, or the plot, each element was doing its best and providing necessary drama and mystery to the story to keep the audience invested. I don't think there can be any chapters in this webcomic, that will bore the reader. The main characters were imperfect and awkward but did well enough that you rooted for them. The villains were unhinged and crazy; it made you understand how awful a person can be. The...extra villain (who I won't name right now because it'll be a slight spoiler) was a complicated case and made you wonder just how far a person can go and still be redeemable. And of course, our superior and powerful dragon was adorable~

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

(The only reason this is not rated 5 stars is because it is a story you'd love while you're reading it and you might even recommend it to others, but it is not something your mind will linger on months after you've read it. Books I read months or years ago but still think about deserve 5 stars, in my opinion.)
