first of all the description is just a flat out lie, the character mentioned dies about one paragraph into the book. thats true for most characters actually; learn about them, their past, their hope, and then watch them be horribly murdered a paragraph later.
the main character, a mimic, is an amoral monster who just wants to eat and grow stronger to eat more. the book seems to be 40% looking at menus, 40% people being ripped apart and eaten and 20% character development from people about to be ripped apart and eaten.
the people calling this “lighthearted” honestly worry me.
