Must not have ever met an introverted religious person

Plenty of people like power sharing. Would rather everyone around you suffer due to selfishly clinging to everything you can get your hands or share a bit to give allies a safety net?

The lie usually causes more damage than the truth, and revealing a lie will make people distrust everything.

Why always orphans tho?

It gets more jarring every time. Really ruining the reading experience. These aren't cliffs, they're walls.

I'm not sure the best way to put it, but the way this is written feels... almost childish? Like, not trying to be mean, but everything from prose to dialogue gives an impression of ungrounded naivety. While not bad, perse, there is a noticeable greenhouse feel to the MC and cardboard cutout feel to every other character. Also needs a little more spice in the background and setting departments. If those things can balance out and improve, this could potentially turn into a fairly decent story.

Thought he had sensory abilities though

This line was so good I had to read it twice

I read this story elsewhere, but felt I should leave a review anyway. The story started mildly slow, but once it picked up, it was a very good read for a while. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what happened, but all kinds of build up got tossed out or condensed into one of the most rushed conclusions I've ever had the displeasure of reading. I legitimately would have preferred a hiatus cut off in the middle of an arc over that sloppy ending. To summarize, the first 40 chapters were slow but interesting to read, 40ish-130ish were very good, 130ish to 150ish were decent albeit with a tonal shift, and the last couple dozen chapters slap you across the face like a deadbeat dad.
