The succubus, Lilin, who’s name makes it dearly obvious what she is from the moment it’s said, doesn’t appear for long, is written, speaks and acts like a stereotypical succubus. There’s no story about her, though a comment or two offers what might have been a story, or longer series arc, but that didn’t happen.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div> </div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">The ending is abrupt, a bit silly, and considering how the story flows isn’t surprising.
