This is a great novel, I'm absolutely fascinated by the Corrupted, it would be easier to call them zombies but they're clearly more than that and I can't wait to learn more about them, and what caused them to show up in the first place. Another great highlight in my opinion is the vivid writing, some of the descriptions of gore and decay are very visceral, and convey a real sense of dread, which is absolutely essential in a novel like this. There's a very moody quality to the narrative that sets the perfect tone for this bleak world, somehow even during more light scenes I can still feel sense of despair and unease. Shu is a great protagonist, he's very action driven and doesn't spend a lot of time wringing his hands in fear, he's quick to make decisions and very pragmatic. He has an acidic sense of humour that I find very appealing, but he also has a soft side that shines through in his interactions with the twins. The ML Glenn is great too, and I love how Shu doesn't really buy his suave noir vibe and is suspicious of him from the start, their banter is great and I'm looking forward to see how the relationship progresses. I think this is a great novel that everyone should check out especially if they'd like to read something darker and action-packed.

I'm really glad that you mentioned the juxtaposition between the moodiness of the narrative versus the lightheartedness! I've spent a lot of time crafting that particular quality, and this story is, at its core, based off that gap between despair and humor. I hope to make it as emotionally-inducing as possible. The MC and the ML are a true power couple whose relationship grows with each banter. If Shu is a prickly cat, then Glenn is the dog. Shu is quite lovable despite his aloofness and Glenn sees straight through it like the nuisance he is. The other characters, too, have their own off-tangent quirks and backgrounds that will be fun to explore later! Thank you for reading and reviewing!
