Wheeeeeereeeeee issss the authorrrrrrr?!?!? Make him comeeeee baaaaackkkk!! Do not let your work be left in the daaaaaaarrrrrkkk!! Dudeeee keeep writiiiiiinnnggggn!!! 😭😭😭

Six chapters in, this story is off to an excellent start. The premise is both original and intriguing, which is something you rarely see in webnovels - or fantasy novels in general, for that matter. Right from the start, the protagonist is placed in a situation that leaves you eager to find out how it came to be, and what it holds for his future. The prose is evocative and lively, with plenty of carefully crafted detail that helps bring to life both the characters and the world. And speaking of the world, it's an interesting one. Mixing steampunk elements with elves, dwarves, and magic, it certainly isn't the typical cookie cutter fantasy setting. As the story continues, it'll be interesting to learn more about the background of the world. Also worth noting is that the writing lacks most of the spelling and grammar errors that appear with disappointing regularity in most webnovels. Instead, it's clear that the author has taken the time to ensure that his prose, grammar, and spelling are all up to par. Overall, this seems like the start to a novel that's definitely worth following.

I've only read the available five chapters thus far, but that's enough to form a firm opinion. The author is a highly experienced hand at writing, anyone could tell that much. Aside from the few minor errors that could easily be fixed by proofreading, the sentences are nearly damn perfect. A reader should have no trouble taking in what's being conveyed in the way that the author intended them to be understood. Not sure about the stability of updates. If it's not erratic, it should deserve a five, right? I only gave story development a four because the story's still in the very early stages. World background, ditto. This is still subject to change once we get more chapters, but I really don't have any complaints about what we have so far. Character design, a solid five after I read that chapter of interactions between side characters. Had me cracking nonstop. I'd have to say some of these characters seem *ehem* very familiar for readers of high fantasy. That makes them a bit cliche somewhat, but fockit, I don't care. Keep 'em coming, dude/tte :)
