What to Expect

This is a personal interpretation.
Everyone's experience and perception toward a story is bound to be different
so do check the novel out yourself ☆

A fine mix of science fiction and surreal fantasy filled with many symbolism and a touch of philosophy. A rather simple, straightforward plot (since it's only 60 chapters) but its simplicity enables more room for character exploration instead. And really, it's beautiful. Side characters that represent many stages of life. They are all very humane with various relatable problems and different ways on how they try to overcome it. Chaotic CP with interesting relationship dynamics, you'll LOVE their flirtings and banters. Both are shameless clowns who surprisingly have much more similarities with each other than what meets the eye. Priest's hilarious comedy. It's funny, healing, makes you happy and giddy but there's also underlying sadness beneath since, hey, it's Priest. Interesting worldbuilding system in which Priest utilized advanced algebra to a whole new level. Also, imagine having your mental state and thoughts being materialized into an actual space that you can touch. Yes. Chaos ensues :D
