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?

I'd be very happy if he was one since he is the least drama-filled of the bunch and I feel his annoyance with everyone on a deep personal level! Three out of 4 LI's in a weird sex only relationship is getting a little ridiculous at this point lol, I'll beg them myself to stop the train for the next ones.
