I'm very surprised! When I first saw the few low rated reviews, I wasn't sure if I should read it. Turns out that the comments aren't entirely representative of this novel. I'm glad I decided to read it anyway. Initially during the first few chapters, I was still unsure. But I really got into it the further I read, so much so that I'm surprised at how I first made assumptions of the novel based on what the low raters stated. Well, now I'm all caught up to the current updated chapters and very eager for more! This novel turned out to be much better than I could have expected. I'd love to add more to this review and will edit as soon as I get the chance, that way I can provide more thorough information for potential readers who are deciding whether or not they should read this, especially with it's few, somewhat scathing reviews. I think this is the kind of novel you'll either like or dislike and it depends on your preferences for characterization, comedy, tropes, storytelling, etc. I'm quite pleased with the characters and the direction the plot is moving, and there a few things I don't like as much but do not mind Spoiler
(i.e. I have specific preferences for how POV shifts are done, and the few I don't like here so far are when they provide brief snippets of what the antagonists are doing in that moment of time. I prefer more seamless POV changes within the context of the scene and characters present. That's all.).
[collapse] I'd like to share the elements of this novel that would make this a recommendation from me to you, but sadly this will have to do for now until I can edit to update during a free moment.Thank you translator, and please don't be discouraged by the reviews. You are doing a splendid job. I super appreciate it! Thank you!!!Lastly, not sure if it's because of the translator's skill, but I find this novel to be a little bit better written out of the author's two works, both from 2022.
