While the chapter and the writing itself was great, I can't help but feel there's an element missing somewhere. Like, it shouldn't have been the White Tiger Icon to make Aqua a Sage. Or, it shouldn't have been the only one. Moreover, the fact that Aqua's ascension occurred in the Underworld, in such a manner, doesn't sit well for some reason. It might be that the author is setting Aqua up for failure, or that the pacing feels rushed in general.To clarify, I've given my opinion to encourage discussion, and not disparage the novel. Thoughts on it would be welcome.
