The writing quality and stability of updates is very good, I also like the character design and story development, but so far it has only been the story of how a kid is having the worst time of his life. I mean seriously, what did Jonah ever do to you.
But as advice from another author, I'd like to tell you that the readers here don't really like to read too much heavy stuff. I understand how good it would feel, when the story actually gets to the point where Jonah gets a moment of peace, but it's a difficulty to get to that point, is what i'm trying to say. Add some hope and humor in it if you can. But, in the end it's your novel and I am curious of the outcome.
