Everything is just top-notch from writing quality to character descriptions to the feels and emotions.
When reading a shifter story the audience needs to have this emotional connection which the story is providing in abundance.
Also, I dislike abusive toxic MLs and Ranon is far from that, loving what a green flag he is. That's the truth definition of being strong, to take care of the weak and not abuse.
This story has all the elements of becoming top-tier, keep writing dear author and good luck for the competition. I am rooting for you.
