Abide in the Wind

First of all, it doesn't list how many chapters, but after searching and then reading, I can confirm there are 180 lengthy, fully colored chapters. Like another review said, it is a little slow going at the start, you're not sure who to trust (due to multiple characters pov) and it's really a lot of important information. You really get an outline of the lore in those first 20 chapters- but don't worry, bc towards chapter 165~175 the lore is still very relevant. The FL is admittedly a little annoying, but around the midpoint her character does a total 180. In fact, there were several momentsthe last 30-60 chapters where it's hard to believe she is the same, naïve girl that she used to be. The ML is ofc stoic, but based upon the lore it checks out and his stoicism is quite adorable as the entire story he only has eyes for her. The most enjoyable thing about this story, is just when you feel like you know what's gunna happen next, something else occurs. Nothing outrageous, I never once was annoyed by it, instead it definitely pushed me to read as much as possible, as fast as possible (I read this in under 24 hours, albiet on only a few hours of sleep, it was just so binge worthy imho). My biggest complaint would also be, because you never know what's gunna happen next, the ending may be a little confusing or even seem rushed, my initial reaction was disbelief ngl- but it does end in the mc's getting together and character's you have grown to love get what they deserve. The only thing I'd really advise readers of is the ML is in a child's body until the last 30 chapters (it's explained why in the first 20 chapters). But he doesn't look like a child while she looks like an adult. The artist/author did a very good job of making the mcs look youthful vs adults at appropriate times. Otherwise it was a great story, so much so, it's been days and I cannot find something that compares. 100% recommend
