Review Detail of EmzByte13 in V.I.R.A.L

Right, I guess there would be some minor (?) spoilers in the World Background section of this review. I didn't put a spoiler tag because that normally deters people from reading the review. So, this is just a warning in case you haven't read the book yet. There's currently 53 chapters, and I just read all of them. The book's good, very good, and it's a shame that it doesn't have much of a following currently. Firstly, the writing quality is pretty good. The descriptions were eloquently put, and while the paragraphs were a bit long in the first few chapters, along with the spelling and punctuation mistakes as well as typos throughout the book, I really can't criticize it. Story development is good too. I dunno what to put in this area. The plot proceeded smoothly, and hints are given throughout the book as to what possible future developments may be. Right, into character design... I love the characters in this book. Every single character has their own personalities, thoughts and feelings and react in different ways to the situations that come up. Not to mention, there are no forced relationship developments, and even the antagonists have their reasons that could be considered justifiable when you look at everything that's happened from their perspective. You can also notice the changes in each character as they go through different situations, and how they reflect on things that happen in the past in a realistic way. Yeah, the characters were remarkably realistic and relatable, which is one of my favorite things about this book. The chapter's updating stability seems rather, well, stable. I can't exactly judge since it's still near the beginning of the book based on the developments that have happened so far, and most of the chapters seem to have been released en masse. Ok, onto world background. This is one aspect that wasn't as strong as the others. I'll still give it 4 stars, since things are still in the process of being introduced gradually, and the things we've learnt so far have been introduced in a natural way. Just that we don't really know that much about the setting of this world. To sum it up, some people have superpowers, an incident happened long ago, and superheroes were frowned upon after that so ability-wielders decided to make money from streaming their exploits instead. The 'city?' is surrounded by a wall that protects everything inside from whatever the fúck is going on outside. Seems to be an ice age? Of course, that's not everything, but in all honesty, I don't have a clear picture of this world. There are too many questions currently, and I understand that everything will be slowly uncovered in due time, but this is all I can put as of right now. To sum up, this book was great. I willingly gave up my time that I was supposed to be completing important work to read this, and it's now quarter to six in the morning. I have no regrets. I highly recommend it; while there are probably some slightly shiner diamonds in the rough, this is a rather unique and interesting one, and my personal opinion between both types of books will always favour the latter such as these.
