i think it should have a higher rating, maybe bout 3.5, even if some of you hate it, someone else might like it, it kinda slow at the start to get good, you need to read a few chapters and then read a few more then it starts to get good, what i dont like with the mc is he holds a deep grudge to somthing that didnt even happend to him and it ruins the story soo much for me.
What Im seeing is a cruel path of survival, I don't know if Im comfortable with this, but I approve and my heart kinda aches because he had to go in this path to survive....lets just continue reading and see what more exciting things in kingdom building the novel can offer.
Note: It should be noted that I have not read the included one-shot "Jikan wo Tometa Shounen-tachi", as I was unable to locate it anywhere. If I do manage to find it in the future, I will update the review accordingly.
This was an engaging tale centered around a kingdom besieged by sand and the challenges faced by its heir.
Story, 6: The plot moved at a brisk pace, but much of its resolution unfolded within just a few pages in the final chapter. This might be attributed to its brevity, yet it still felt somewhat hurried. Nonetheless, the world-building was well-executed and added depth to the narrative.
Art, 7: The artwork adheres to fairly typical shoujo aesthetics; fans of Yuki's style will enjoy some of the more fantastical components on display.
Characters, 6: While most characters were rather one-dimensional, they each possessed clear motivations and played their part in delivering a fulfilling conclusion.
Enjoyment, 6: I found the ending particularly appealing, and the story provided a gratifying experience overall.
Overall, 6: This was a swift and enjoyable read that I would recommend to enthusiasts of desert-themed narratives or those familiar with Yuki's other works (though this story diverges considerably from her usual settings, being set entirely in a fantastical realm).
