The author is a very talented individual in the art of character design, able to generate long fluid conversations that seem to go on forever which many novels lack. In my opinion, however, that is a flaw. The conversations go on long enough that it starts to give me a headache. The author puts heavy emphasis into the conversations and does not balance it out with the world background. The author does not seem as good with the world background. For example, the prince's castle at the beginning is merely referred to as a "castle" with no additional details. I get a mental image when the term is mentioned, but I get a stale one which has no details. Another example is when the MC is escaping along with her friend, yet most of the writing is down on their conversations rather than their surroundings. In reality, I doubt two people would have the energy to converse when they are fleeing for their life. Other than that, the author does put in the details when it comes to fighting, so props to that. The writing quality is very good and the author does seem to have a direction he/she wants to go in. A personal complaint would be the time skip at the beginning not long after the MC arrives into this world. I feel like a lot of potential was wasted in what could have been invested into character growth. It is like saying the MC survived a life or death situation at point A and then somehow got over it and became stronger in the future at point B. This is merely my opinion however, so just take it as creative criticism. I have not even fully read the novel since I became overwhelmed by the long conversations which take up half of each chapter.

This is a very good review, thank you for that! It's true I'm not really that good with describing the world and background. I tend to forget that not everyone can see things the way I imagine it and forget to actually write it down. I also agree that conversations can be a little too long. I myself always preferred character over the story so I wanted to make these people feel as alive as possible. I see so many stories where the writer has a really good premise but the cast is just really bland and generic, so I guess I was afraid of falling into that same category. The time skip I'm kinda 50/50. The first two volumes were meant to work as a soft prologue to the actual story so I didn't want to keep people waiting for too long to actually get to it, but I do recognize that there were many wasted opportunities with doing that. I do see that there are things many I need to improve on. Once again, thanks for the feedback!
