This 10.1 is different than the Square Peg that cannot qualify for any other task. You can claim combos when claiming 10.1, but because everyone's "enjoyed" is different you can't claim 10.1 for a combo with other tasks.
This title has a combo for 20.9.

From the description, this appears to be a novel written from a male POV and J.A. Huss is a woman, so that it qualifies for 20.3. Let us know if that is not the case.

It's told in alternating chapters switching POV between the male and the female main characters about half and half. I don't know if that's enough to count for 20.3?
