Words cannot express how much I appreciate the pacing on this. I would not have the discipline, patience or raw spine required to write a character who feels so trapped for so long. So many transfem characters start the story on the cusp of realization and then get magic girl powers under 5% into the story. This... it's like the miracle candle that burns for 7 nights when the only light you've ever known is fireworks. A more subtle light, but all the more beautiful for it's patience
This was a really lovely story. It felt very honest; a bit sad and but definitely hopeful. I don't know if there's any intention for this, but I hope we'll maybe get to see these characters again someday. Really wonderful work; 10/10.
Hey, I just want to check and make sure -- is this story intended to begin with the chapter titled "Episode 12", and there are no Episodes One through Eleven for one to be missing? Or are they meant to be here, but are missing, or were they available somewhere outside of this book? (It's fine if it's the first case, I just want to make certain I'm not starting partway through the story.)
not the author and you asked this almost a month ago, but yeah that was on purpose and you aren't missing any story by starting there. the conceit of it is that it starts partway through a magical girl show, and the first eleven episodes of the show have already happened. part of what i like about the book is that i get to figure out what happened there as the story goes on, as well as what's going on in the main plot of some of the episodes c isn't really a major part of
