Agree with the other reviewer for chapter 1 and 2, but it gets better at 3, 4 and then peaks at 5. Then it gets boring again. The first two chapters are a long unedited stream of conscience trying to be complicated, but failing to review anything he's written. Chapter 3+ seem better, possibly because I've started to understand wtf is going on. There's a mountain of unique and complicated terminology and objects in the novel that needs to be explained, but never are. There's long sections of forum discussion on complicated topics that the reader has no hope of following.Two chapters in, I still have no clue about who the protagonist is. What's his backstory? Why is he in the tower? What his position is?There was one sentence in the second chapter that called the protagonist an apprentice, which was immediately followed by one calling him the administrator.So chapter 5 was good, then it gets boring. The plot showed signs of advancing in chapter 5, but I'm on chapter 9 now and they still aren't advancing at all. After chapter 5, they immediately went into a boring side story rather than finishing the plot advance.... And it's frustrating because I don't care about the s*upid side story at all...
