I like this quite a lot, the premise is fun, the protagonist doesn't have a quality I find too much of a stretch, and while the FML (so far) is a little off the rails, nearing the point where I finish the reveal as to why comes a bit more into focus and makes the finish of this arc I guess I would call it... sort of poignant. The protagonist gets a little too sentimental about parting, as I think he should have a bit more confidence in being able to build relationships especially given his powers, but those too sort of serve as this interesting way to build a new dynamic during each time he comes back.I think this has strong bones and could be a great novel down the road... too early to tell, but its not a bad start at all. There's a element where I think audience identity could be lost in the world building of the tower and how people react to it, so I think they need to be careful, but I think the risk could draw in more people's attention so its not like there is no pay off for doing it well.At the moment I give it 5 stars, but due to the length of the arc, I can't honestly tell if the quality stays on par for the course. I like a lot of it.
