Super enjoyable read, if anyone stumbles across this novel and even has an inkling of intrigue, they should 100% give it a shot. Minor grammatical errors that don’t affect the reading quality much at all, but still noticeable sometimes. MC is enjoyable as he is navigating the world trying to achieve his goals, all the while constantly battling himself trying to balance ruthlessness and compassion. I especially appreciate that his progress isn’t linear, there’s plenty he is learning as he goes and information that was previously thought to be correct that is then proved wrong. The world building is fun, nothing too fleshed out detail wise, but also surprisingly consistent in terms of the details provided while the MC is in each location. It’s kind of a funny balance that works simply because (as previously stated) of the consistency so it feels like you’re given a small but intriguing picture to look at. The side characters are great, each one displays their own unique personality and emotions that stay remarkably consistent throughout the story while also not remaining stagnant. The ONLY true problem with this story in my eyes, is simply the update consistency, or rather, lack there of. I understand the authors plight as he has stated recently that life hasn’t been the most fortunate as of late. But, that doesn’t mean I’m going to artificially inflate the rating for updating stability. If the author can regain consistency in uploading then I’ll gladly change my review as I highly respect the time and dedication that has gone into this story and greatly appreciate the privilege of reading it. Overall in my personal opinion; Writing Quality; 5/5 (occasional minor errors shouldn’t weigh too heavily) Updating Stability 2/5 (not a 1 simply because it used to be pretty consistent) Story Development 5/5 (enjoyable amount of mini arcs and world navigation) Character Design 5/5 (Enjoyable MC and side characters, nobody is one dimensional) World Background 5/5 (If I went off of details of the main areas in the story it’d be lower but I’m factoring in the additional characteristics the author has included as well as the inclusion of cultural details and differences)
