Pretty good but way too many holes too early in the story. In the beginning she said there was no way she could penetrate the Jaguar’s skin barehanded then chapters later she suddenly have claws that can slice through her own skin after she upgraded her stats which at that moment was above the level of the Jaguar (note that her strength was still the same as it was when she fought the Jaguar). Then there’s the fact that the fact that the fact that she can just change her body randomly af but it was never once a part of her status so it just feels like an excuse for her being able to integrate into human society. It’s all just feel like there’s no plan when it came to the storyline.
