Review Detail of West_Facing_Hermit in The Slime Farmer

Wonderfully complex characters living in an equally complex, mysterious set of connected worlds. The first few chapters had me hooked, especially the intense emotions of a rocky start. And then the writing kept me hooked, especially the self-deprecating humor and dry wit of the main protagonist. It was refreshing too, to read a story where there is a powerful and heartwarming support system (I mean people, a place, and logic; not a cheat system) for the MC. I think the character interactions, the pacing- well interspersed pieces of action in a generally slice-of-life setting, and the depth of the world building are the highlights of the story. A point for the future- I would be relieved if the writing style remains consistent. Right now, it’s wordy, a bit prosaic, but quite engaging.
