The dialogue is... horrible. So bad in fact, I'm more inclined to believe that the author spent a longer time in the Twilight than the MC did.
Not sure if it's too early in the story currently, but I also can't help but feel like the novel has been incorrectly tagged. The protagonist is by no means, "Cold". After being left out to die, the MC is rather eager to communicate with people — holding no distrust to anyone (despite having been bullied and betrayed). The story has also been tagged with "Calm Protagonist, " ignoring the fact that the protagonist cries after a duel, flusters during a conversation, and stutters during speech.
Overall, the design of the main character is terribly inconsistent (Or consistently bad, depends on you) ; The flow and pacing of the novel are all out of place; and again, the dialogue is terribly written. Fight scenes are also glossed over and underwhelming. Where the author spends more time explaining the skills the MC uses over how the MC actually uses it.
Cool world setting though I guess. Kinda like AoT...
[collapse]EDIT:Guess I was in a bad mood while reading this, and I've noticed the tags being edited... The novel - coming back to it now months after - is not actually all that bad (I'll still leave my previous review up as the points there are still valid). But in comparison to other novels similar to this, it's a much more interesting read. The other characters in this novel are pretty decent and seemingly multi-dimensional (they 'exist' more than just what is seen on the surface), and I've taken more of a liking towards the MC as his character has developed - though if I were to criticize one thing, I feel like the change happened too quickly. Otherwise, not that bad and I've changed the stars accordingly (around 3.8-4.1)
