Review Detail of SnowPenguin in Immortals: The Curse of Samsara

The story has a large, colourful cast of characters, with universal themes at play, all set in an interesting world. There's little fluff which lets you jump straight into the story. It's also well written. If I'm being critical, there are dry exposition dumps that could be integrated more organically into the story through dialogue and descriptions. There was no need to give a date and tell us about the state of the moon as if it were a fact. A character could check a calendar or the time. A bunch of characters could simply be staring outside and have said outside described. My point is that there are better ways to communicate ideas that aren't straight up exposition dumps.

Thanks for your review! In regards to the exposition, I think it feels like that due to my writing style. I wanted to make a mix of a light novel and a YA novel: not too descriptive like most novels, but not complete bare bones like light novels which seems to follow script writing. Rather, somewhere in the middle. The part you're taking about, the interlude, is a voice over narration (by Alina) hence it's in the auxiliary volume: that volume contains detailed explanation and expansions, through side chapters and other author notes. It was never meant to be an info dump, and wasn't part of the introduction
