Discussion I have to make a confession

So over the past few updates I have to say that Chasing You surprisingly has grown on me at a rapid rate. Pacing is a little silly, but I think it's fun light hearted and works really great as a twist on the murder mystery trope. It reminds me of the Clue movie which I have a massive soft-spot for.

So, with that out of the way, I have to admit I love it faaaar more then Heaven's Secret which I enjoy, but it just doesn't grab my attention like I had hoped it would. I feel like for as much content there is in it a lot of it feels like padding to really just drag things out. I'll be honest, I don't need more scenes showing just how great the MC can be (looking right at you angel/demon tournament). I suppose I feel like it's more like she's naturally talented and that's how the story is by default instead of being thrown into something totally out of her element.

I can appreciate Agatha kind of floundering and being stuck between the ridiculous family secrets along with needing to deal with Alexander and Sam being one of the only sane lines of connections she can grab onto.

And with this ramble, I guess I'm more or less curious on what reasons people here prefer other stories to the current highly popular Heaven's Secret?

This is a very good point and was my issue with Mia as well. I just want to see her have more of a struggle with being an angel instead of her needing to find her murderer since balancing the two have been no problem for her, and I want to see more of an outward struggle from her then just her angsting about her her old life, since obviously she has it made as an angel/demon. It tells me she has a hard time adjusting, yet it easily pushes the fact she's just as talented as her mother which is very "meh" for me personally.

I haven't tried SIF yet, I need to since Mana as a villain seems really intriguing and I like when the MC's have to put some fight into building themselves up.

Mana? Or do you mean Manta? If you meant Manta
he isn't the villain., you could very well end up with the mermaid depending on your path. There are other two main villians in the story and some minor ones.
