Incredibly intriguing plot line! 271 chapters in, many revelations have already been delicately made by this point in the novel, whilst many mysteries remain unsolved and I'm absolutely gripped as a reader. Fantastic translation too. Warning neither the FL nor ML start out as respectable characters, he was insensitive and cruel, she was a pushover and of the "that's just my fate, it's right to suffer because of my crimes even though it wasn't me" type. This does get better and by chapter 271 we have respectable characters, trying to solve the mysteries of the world and prevent unknown calamities. It's more Game of Thrones than Harry Potter, in terms of feel, though less politics and world building as is consistent with genre. With this novel your vested interest here reside with only the FL focal point and the major villain as focal points initially, although Spoiler
By chapter 271 you already see FL's family becoming another area of interest, along with the wanderers, ie all 3 branches of the original magic tribes
[collapse], this focal point does grow into other areas over time.Bonus: NO Pesky villain/ villainess! The villain and sub villains are crucial to the plot and are respectable / have nice character backdrops! Compelling read!
