Thanks for the cultural context and comparisons between eastern and western literary taste! this is a new genre for me and part of the appeal is the difference from what I am familiar with.

The main character was well developed and interesting and the main supporting characters were also compelling and likable. This was my first Omegaverse novel so the concepts were new and interesting to me. The story kept my interest well enough to buy the book, in spite of the fact that the writing was hampered by many errors in English conventions of grammar and punctuation. It was often difficult to tell which character was speaking, the use of plurals was often grammatically incorrect, personal pronouns were sometimes mixed up and the vocabulary was often awkward. The story is compelling, interesting and often very moving. It deserves the attention of a skilled editor and I hope that he author will be able to attain this.

What is NPC?

"...courting death and eating lunch..." Love it that these activities are grouped together! Pretty auspicious beginning!
