Truly a really engaging story with very well developed charcters. This story has been a really enjoyable read that is really unique in how it has really focused on the emotional and character development side of the story rather than just on plot. I really appeciate that the author has not put a price on any of the chapters and it’s clear that they are writing this story because they are passionate about it. If you have a method of donation that takes less of a cut, I would totally be open to donate to you! (Unless you do actually want us to donate through gifts in WN) From all the web novels I have read so far, this story is one of my favourites in that I really enjoy how much personality all the characters have and I like that this story is willing on focusing on the emotional challenges and developments of all the characters. For example, many other novels gloss over how it might feel to actually kill someone or sentient being or only mention it for a few paragraphs but I like that this story actually shows James’ development for better or for worse in a manner that feels realistic and human like. Another aspect that I really enjoy about this novel is the very frequent perspective changes that occur. I think this really helps flesh out each of the characters and continue developing the background in addition to making it feel like every character is living out their own lives while the story continues progressing. Trickster’s Apostle really utilizes writing through different perspectives more than any other web novel I have read and I find it very enjoyable. To the author, thank you for also having artwork made which wasn’t something you needed to do but I appreciate that you put the effort to do so anyways. To potential readers, while it is not something I am expecting from the author, it should be noted that the release schedule of this novel is pretty loose and not very consistent. Of course there is no point in rushing an author to release anything, I think you should just keep that in mind. Now to discuss areas that could be further improved: While I feel that the characters are very well developed, the background does not. While areas are mentioned and I have a general understanding of how this world is set up, I feel that there is still more room to develop the actual world and how it is like. Outside of the school and some specific locations, many areas of the world have each only really been described in a few paragraphs. At the same time, unlike other novels I don’t feel like this lack of detail is particularly detrimental to the story because the plot/events we are focusing on aren’t very reliant on it? (Even I don’t fully understand why I don’t find this to be that big of an issue for this story in particular) In general, I think this story is really engaging and unique in its focus on the characters which I find really enjoyable. I look forward to following this story and I think I will edit this review with any feedback I would have as the story continues. This is one of my favourite web novels and I really want to see how it will develop!

Thank you for your review! About the donation thing; For me I appreciate comments, reviews and people actually reading my work much more than money. So for me, gifting something is more symbolic than anything. This is also the reason why I haven't made something like a Patreon. If there comes a time when I am in need of money, I might consider starting something, but I don't think that will happen. As always, to everyone reading this, thank you all for sticking with me and reading my work! Cheerios!

It doesn't feel detrimental because it's very character driven. However, I believe we are entering a phase in the story where not developing the background will become detrimental because the story has a serious, big overarching plot. Hopefully the author can incorporate his strength in character with the background in the future chapters. Also, nice review! I can see the passion behind it. Love the story as well! Bella ftw.
