  • Entertainment: If you like romcoms, this one is really fun. Sure, it has the usual tropes with no real surprises, but if you like this kind of thing then it is well done here. Personally, I enjoyed the story and characters a lot, and the pacing and writing style was spot-on for me. I am looking forward to eventually reading more volumes.

  • Language Learning: After previously reading 20 books rated 30 or lower, this was my first book currently rated above 30. I have to say that I struggled a bit through the first half. While there are no uncommon grammar points, the author uses many words of rather low frequency, so I had more lookups than usual. Also, in order to create suspense, sentences are sometimes on purpose vague or incomplete, and you have to keep reading to understand their meaning. After getting used to it though, the second half got gradually easier for me. On the bright side, the story is easy to follow, so even if you miss a few sentences, you will never be lost. I'll file this one under "difficult, but good learning experience". I would not recommend this to complete beginners.
