I kind of have a love/hate relationship with these authors and I wanted to try something outside of the Zodiac Academy world. This prequel was so good. It was hard to put down and I cannot wait to see how they are even going to get back together after all of this. Plus, I really need to spend more time with the MMCs. Altogether we have 4 main male characters and I'm so curious about their personalities and overall connections plus how the whole harem is even going to work here. But it was a pretty solid start to this new world/story.
