I've now read 37 chapters and honestly I'm a bit lost, i wanted to like the story. the concept is pretty cool but it just never clicked. it's probably a combination of multiple factors, weird pacing, surprisingly little focus on the power system while getting stuck in the less important jazz of the citadels life that i wouldn't even call effective world building as it doesn't evoke any curiosity. The human interactions seemed strange (i know it's a stylistic attempt to create a structure that would inspire more immersion by creating something non standard but it falls flat imo) mc mostly seems like an empty vessel that doesn't get enough agency to feel like an actual person. ultimately, i felt apathetic pretty much the entire way, something that you never want to say about a book but alas it's true. I'm still a little curious about how his skill tree might grow but at this point i cant justify investing anymore time into this read. but make your own judgements. it may just not have been for me.
