The characters' interactions are very good, and the book has a lot of potential, so try it out!

If you want to read a dark fantasy with a pretty grim setup from the start, where the MC had to undergo a lot of emotional trauma, downfall to downfall, then you may enjoy this novel.
The strongest point is the MC itself, the turns of his life and it let you wondering about how he would cope and do in the future, to escape both from himself and his very own nature.
The author has a strong voice throughout the story, and the protagonist definitely comes across as having a troubled past. Plot-wise, starting in the middle allowed for opening up to some pretty intense action, and sets up a nice and deep exploration of the main character. I think there's great potential for a character-driven exploration of the themes and politics that put the protagonist in such a terrible situation.
On the technical side, there are mostly some issues with tense-case and a few misspellings, but nothing a good round of editing won't fix. Some of the dialogue can get a little confusing without indicators of who is speaking, and the extra space could be used to add little actions, facial expressions, etc.
Overall I would say that the character interactions are great, but the dialogue can be a little anime-esque in terms of sudden dramatic increase.
A solid start, and I'm sure once Nekoman finds his feet, it'll be off to the races.
I'm the author of this book, sorry for the shameless review but if you have any questions, ask away in the paragraph or here, I'm happy to answer all of it!
