gotta admit that the premise really hooked me but my interest really waned over the volumes.

Most of it is because of Agni's character development which is just really, really absurd. I mean I will admit that it's unique and that I didn't really see the direction his character was going in but just because its unique doesn't automatically make it good.

As a whole, I would, in fact, rate it a C or B- if I'm being unusually generous. It's just not good enough, without delving into spoilers there are so many small things that should have been different and it could have been a whole different beast.

That and later down the line I feel like the author lost the fire (haha) he originally had because the direction he went in. There was little indication that(some of) the plot twists were planned at all and was just thrown out like so and so happened just because.

and on a final spoiler note spoiler[I really don't understand why the author needed to go the incest route. I mean I understand why it was a 'thing' at the beginning since these are 2 kids possibly going through puberty with no(proper or moral) adult supervision but to devolve back into it in the later volumes feels like the author just wanted to satisfy a fetish and wasn't the direction the characters should have gone in.]
