- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
And I dont even like the mMCs because of their sexual harassment at the beginning and the amount of misogyny
Also this book contains the bully trope times ten...
BUT.
The fMC!!! I adore this woman and her inner dialogue is hilarious as everything is from her POV the stark contrast between the terrible things that are happening and then her thoughts are making even her flat jokes funnier.
Her POV is also really fitting her character and seems incredibly authentic. Which of course means it is at some times a little redundant and unperfect, maybe over the top but that's what makes it seem realistic and the character seem approachable.
She was absolutely the reason why I finished this book and will be reading the next one.
(please take a look at the TWs as in not only the summary that only mentions a few)

I do like Aran, and the plot is decent. World-building is great. I just found the MMCs to be unbearable.
