With an aloof demeanor, intimidating appearance, and tremendous power, Zagan the mage is seen as an evil sorcerer and feared by all around him. As he goes about his daily routine of studying magic and punishing any ruffians he comes across, he accepts an invitation to a mysterious auction featuring various items of a late Archdemon.

There, he is surprised to find Nephelia, a white-haired elf slave, as the main prize of the auction. Mesmerized by her beauty, he instantly falls in love and spends a fortune purchasing her without a second thought. However, due to his awkward manners and social ineptitude, he finds it difficult to express his feelings for her.

As the eccentric duo embark on a new journey together, Zagan and Nephelia learn to be more earnest with each other, forming a relationship that gradually grows to be more romantic.

I read this a while ago and I remember really liking it and thinking wow so cool!!

This is a cute romance but I failed to write my review fast enough so I forgot everything

Welcome to the Menagerie.

Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.


What is M?

I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
