don't remember where i heard about it first exactly (current guess is from a mlp webcomic), tried to read it in like 2019 (on mobile :p), got to act 5, and then gave up, then in like 2022 after being into ut/dr for a while and having a few friends who talked about it, decided to give it another try since it was back in my circle and it clicked immediately, ive been a fan of it ever since
