Honestly speaking it's super confusing for me....I mean dead man as a main character in your initial arc, who does that?? Dwelling so much in the past stories will pretty much spoil the storyline. If you are going for the tradegy then it's a pretty good start but if you are thinking of comedy then the story won't end well. Anyway the general plot is quite unique so some Marks for that thinking and hope the author writes the story with readers viewpoint.

LIKEI totally get where you are coming from and understand why you think this way... But, the idea came to me and I fell in love with it. I feel like the story is more because of this. Not all stories are linear, so straightforward. Just like peoples lives are not linear. I still think the story is enjoyable and I hope you give it a chance.
Maybe I will wait and see how you end up your novel which seems pretty challenging(from my viewpoint). Well you are doing a pretty nice job and I don't ever want to criticize another's work but reading a summary I had a great expectation, it's a totally new concept and I knew I have to read this novel but as I went along I smell tradegy as the storyline progress and that was totally out of expectation. But I am looking forward to it and best wishes to you author and hopes you end your novel well.👍👍
