That's the main problem in my opinion and thus the rating. It was hard to give it a try because the writing style, grammar, composition and formatting are just unnatural or wrong. The switching between thoughts, dialogues, monologues and narrator is very rough and confusing. Additinally, we are thrown right into action, are given the world's idioms and other magical vocabulary gibberish, and all of it without any explanations or context.
Whatever I write next is just what I got from the first 17 chapters, to give a bit more description about the story.
The MC a psycho trans girl with a dark past. Her love interest is not fairing better. The description does not lie - it is dark and gory. The plot goal/direction that is promised, apparently, is about helping each other heal whatever wounds they have. Sounds wholesome but honestly I did not feel that way because of horny/pervy/psycho/unexplained stuff on the way.
Can't judge the "romance" subplot between psychos - they live in their own psycho world that operates under its own laws. And as a note, this is GL but not a scissors party.
Can't tell anything about world building because not much was given, and I don't expect more as it looks like it is not the focus of the story.
