Review Detail of StenDuring in The Universe is Innately Just

Despite being labelled as an eastern fantasy, even using a cultivation system, this very much feels like a gritty science fiction. Think Bladerunner with psychic powers added to it. This review is part of a review swap and valid as of chapter 18. The story is written in third person point of view past (usually) tense. If you like your worlds dirty and gritty this is your place. Especially if you like the type of tale that follows someone from rags to... well... we don't know yet. Power in one way or another, but eighteen chapters we've just left the introduction behind us. If the story develops in the direction I believe it will, then the main character has just finished the deed that forces him to enter the wider world. If you took note of me referring to this story as science fiction rather than fantasy it's because the cultivation system is explicitly explained in sci-fi terms and very much not as magic. So for the stars: Writing: Three stars. Shaky English paired with undisciplined handling of PoV and tenses detract from the reading experience. A pity because this promises to be a really good story. Updates: 18 chapters. No complaints. Five stars. Story: As I wrote earlier, a really good story. Five stars. Character: It's hard to have a really good story about a single main character unless that character is well fleshed out. He is. Five stars. World: Well, I did compare it to Bladerunner. While the setting this far has been physically rather small, not once did I feel crammed in as a reader. Good work and five stars. This goes into my library in the hopes that the writing gets better.
