I think this is a book worth putting in library and following. First of all, the author is polite and replies well to feedback, and that already puts him above most. While I have mixed views on the book, here's a disambiguation of those: - The story development, character design, and world background are all good. I can see the needlework that the author put in order to add depth to the world and make his characters distinctive. While I don't enjoy very dark works a lot, I think this novel tackles dark themes decently, even sprinkling in bits of philosophy here and there that remind me somewhat of Berserk. - While the sum of the story is functional, I have issues with the writing. The author has a decent grasp of grammar but needs to work on punctuation and syntax, as some sentences have way too many punctuation marks while others have none. Other sentences are constructed awkwardly, losing their meaning in the process. My biggest advice to the author would be: write short sentences. You won't lose yourself in complex grammar, and the meaning will be clearer. Another issue with the writing is a more important one. You tell too much. There is work put into the exoskeleton of the novel, but it all loses its value if you throw it to us instead of gradually showing it. With that, I think the author will do a fine job in the future and wish them good luck. Give this book a read.
