Hmmmm I wont say its similar to those western and eastern fantasy where dragons and fling sword exist. If I have to say, its more of a supernatural thing? Not really saying about ghost and stuffs. Just try reading it and youll know. But tbh Im also a fantasy weeb and I find this novel not really a fantasy that we like to read about. Honestly, Im had fun continuing reading this because of the comedy and mystery rather than the system or fantasy stuff
How do you craft a review for an ongoing series? How do you evaluate a saga that the author himself has declared as his life's work—so much so that he seems determined to extend it throughout his entire lifetime, making a ten-year hiatus seem inconsequential?
Five Star Stories is more than just a creation by Mamoru Nagano; it’s a profound avenue of self-expression. Picture expanding your imagination to its limits, with timelines spanning tens of thousands of years and entities akin to gods, and you have the expansive canvas that is Five Star Stories. It encompasses themes of love, betrayal, tragedy, and even comedy. Sweeping landscapes and Mortar Headds with graceful designs and elegant movements grace its pages.
The Joker star cluster comprises four planetary systems, with a fifth orbiting and intersecting them every few years. Remnants of an ancient inter-galactic empire, the various nations now existing within this cluster utilize large biomechanical machines called Mortar Headds in warfare. These machines are only operable by headliners—individuals who inherit traces of the genes of the super-soldiers from the long-lost empire—and their Fatima partners, humanoid androids that serve as interfaces between the headliners and the Mortar Headds.
Each volume contains mini-stories about the inhabitants of the Joker Star Cluster, featuring wars, espionage, and rebellions. Five Star Stories essentially chronicles the tales of the headliners and their Fatima partners until the end of their era.
I can only rate this a 10, as there's no other option. At times, certain parts may feel inconsistent (the series has been running since the early '80s), and the vast array of settings might even confuse the author. However, this is not a plot-driven work. Instead, trust Nagano to unveil fragments of the legends surrounding the Fatimas and their masters.
