Reactions and Reviews

Incredible world-building, definitely a new favourite[1]

i!!! LOVE!! THIS!!! FIC!!! im screaming this fic is so good im crying i love the characterization and the writing style and just everything. i hope this gets more parts or a sequel and i love this so much[2]

if you like magic you gotta read this, every single chapter had me on the edge of my seat in suspense the plot is so intricate and every character just leaps out of the page[3]

In all honesty, this is one of my favorite fics of all time, by one of my favorite authors. I love the magic universe that was created, the setting is amazing, and the way the characters developed and interacted was so artfully done. It’s super smutty as well. The first and second arcs of the story almost seem like they should be separate fics, but it’s a good read regardless.[4]

omg this is probably my FAVORITE story i’ve probably ever read ive read a bunch of really good fics but this one hit because it’s so raw in it’s element and the storyline is so well written with it’s details! theres literally not an end to the amount of compliments i can give it; i constantly go back and reread it definitely take your time to read this one uGh[5]

I think the holy grail of vminkook is Swamp Magic by ginforink on ao3.[6]

Loo’s note: I usually don’t read magic centric fics but dude this is great the world is nicely developed and not completely irrational! So please give it a chance! It also makes you soft af![7]

It's probably the best BTS fanfiction I've ever read. The author created a whole magical universe, complete and realistic. You get caught into the plot, which is fucking amazing. You can't tell from the summary but God, the story so complex and the characters are so elaborate ! Jungkook is confused all the goddamn time, but relatable, cute but also a little aloof. The author captured their essence, I think. Taehyung is soft but also a mess of raw power and emotion. Jimin is irresistible but also demanding and strong in all the ways possible. Honeslty, I was a little sceptical about the Vminkook. I had never read such a such a thing and i feared the Jimin component of the story would gross me out. But god. How wrong I was. Jimin is a perfect, obvious fit for them, every second of this story just sounds right.[8]
