I actually quite enjoyed the first part of it. It felt like dark academia or the very least an academic setting. But, I started to not love it once the love interest became more prominent.

“good girl” and other unpopular opinions 🫢
For this one, I'm going to say Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. I've read some of the manga. I've read the manga for what is currently coming out with season 2.
Similar to The Everlasting, it is surprising to me that I ended up enjoying this book as much as I did when I didn't really like anyone in the book. And that would be Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I was entertained by them.
I loved the writing in that book. I thought that it was exquisite. And there is a love story in the book. And I didn't care about the love interests the same way I do with other love stories.
