Review Detail of VonnieDoll in [Deleted2891]

Definitely recommended ❤! I've read this on its previous site, so I am well ahead of what is posted here, and it's without a doubt a story worth following. I was starting to worry that it was discontinued, but I thankfully stumbled upon it here 😅. The setting and plot have a lot of originality - there are a few tropes but they are presented with a unique twist. The magic system is best described as a hybrid between runes and summoning, and generally well explained. The writing flows very naturally and I like that the author does not explicitly spell everything out (I am talking about mostly the feelings and intentions of the characters). Most characters are well fleshed out and not everything revolves solely around the main cast and their issues (although they are very much involved, I'd say they are not the main targets of what's going on). As for the main leads, they are both quite relatable. Both of them have a tragic backstory, which does a lot for their personalities. Perhaps thanks to that, they have a great power balance in their relationship, although it initially doesn't seem so. It also means that they both have a bit of a mean streak at times (but even then, their actions are not completely unreasonable). Although Lucius can sometimes come off as a rather typical cold and detached strong ML, he has his reasons and he visibly cares about many people other than the FL (although he'd rather not admit to that). Aurora also lets go of her 'transmigrated FL' ideas of leaving Lucius once their contract is fulfilled early enough not to be annoying. I dare say Aurora is the more independent of the two, but I'd attribute it more to the difference in their personalities and experiences, because her affection for Lucius does not seem any weaker to me.
