story has potential, but the writing makes it muddy and slow. it has a good start, before you start to realize the author loves to explain everything.
it's good and bad, a lot of world building is done, but it's mainly bad because the MC is reiterating context to almost anything.
status windows? let me explain.
manuals? let me explain.
demons? let me explain.
the main characters of my novel? let me explain.
the issue is, it gets repetitive, constantly being told about this and that. the info dumps are in almost every chapter, and the author tends to overexplain instead of making it brief. for example, in chapter 26, the author uses two examples to explain the same thing. they don't build off of each other, but are both there anyway when it doesn't make sense to have both.
this is my only issue with the story. the infodumps are too abundant and tedious, which only bog down the novel. otherwise, looking forward to more.
