Fate Makes No Mistakes · review
I hate starting ongoing series, it's like gambling, if it's bad you can just drop it, but if it's good you'll be left waiting week after week for the next chapter. The problem is, you'd never know until you read at least the first ten chapters. The first ten chapters of this work immediately drew me into the story. Supernatural creatures? Grim reapers? Existential crisis themes and an MC that is mentally unstable? Sign me right up. I binged this, slowed down, binged it, slowed down, binged this until until I stopped at the end of S2 and decided to wait until it was complete. Fromthe world building, to the characters (Love the side characters!) the green flag ML and the yellow flag MC, the pace of the plot too, everything just adds up so well.
Note though, if you're not a fan of mythology and supernatural elements, you'd consider this to be slow, because about 80% of the plot was focused on this rather than the romance. Overtime the percentage balanced itself out but I think that's what made the romance even more worth it. Not exactly a slow burn, but more like 'you're too focused on watching them trying not to die that you're not so concerned about the fact that they're not madly in love yet.'
The art style isn't bright and flashy. It's a little bit dark and solid, I think to fit with the setting of the story, and I wouldn't call this horror but the appearance of some monsters would freak you the fuck out.
Also, 704, would always hold my heart 🤧
