First of all, lemme get with the storytelling. The style reminds me of those eerie Brothers Grimm stories I used to read back in High School back when I found out that classic tales actually have a darker original. They give off a similar vibe and I'm really liking it. Though the story progress is a tad bit slow compared to the other stories found on this site, I DO LOVE THE SLOW BURN. In fact, this pace doesn't actually feel all that slow to me. It's actually pretty neat that we get to know more about our MC from their every interaction with other characters. Think of it like a teabag. You don't rush to drink it, you have to let it soak for a bit. MC's thought processes are well planned out and how he gives a peek of the psycho in everyone. I also love the back and forth arguments he has with the original Agnes. You could see that they're learning a bit from each other with every small fight or discussion they have. Though I doubt they'll get to trusting each other fully *wink* AH! Almost forgot, I also appreciate the unique magic system! The whole philosophy thing is genius, not only do you get to play around with a new system (a breath of fresh air from the norm of this site) you also take a shot at building the world while you're at it. Every kingdom/ruler's philosophy tells a bit about the world and it paints a sort of "backdrop" where this story can grow onto. I could talk about it more but it's like 12am and my brain's shutting off from the medication I'm taking so I'll cut it short. The book is just really really swell and I'm thankful for author Hyo's hardwork and efforts to bring this lovely and twisted story to us readers.
