I felt i should leave a small review here, as when I read the other reviews before picking it up, I noticed a lot of people praising it for the philippino references, which made me believe this I might mainly cater to that audience.
However, after giving it a go, I noticed that not only are the references well explained, they're quite witty and interesting, and as someone from Scandinavia, I had no trouble enjoying it.
The overall story so far is well written, with no consistent spelling mistakes to my recollection, and with good character development.
As far as world building goes, there's not much to build on our present reality, but the settings are well described and easily gives you a good immersion into the surroundings.
I started off with a healthy dose of scepticism, but this is now the novel I'm looking most forward to every day!
