Just finished rereading "The Villainess Will Live a Good Life" and there's a reason why this book never left my library after I first discovered it 2 years ago. The world-building, plot, character personas and pacing were just so well constructed. The storytelling especially made the the settings feel alive and the characters easy to connect to. I also liked how it introduced a variety of animal species, and so spot on with their habits too. What do u mean geckos, kangaroos and flamingos? You don't see that everyday. (Speaking of kangaroos, I just have this unhealthy attachment to Troy help)
I can tell that a lot of effort and thought were poured into this book and I want to convey my appreciation for it. It's really one of those instances that you went looking for copper but then found gold. Tbh, I couldn't get over how good this story is that I went to your account to read all your works, even checked your reading lists and the people you follow on this app. I told myself that an author this good would also have great taste in novels, and I was right.
Thank you for this masterpiece Rei. You're much more capable than u think.
