I don't get what the fuck these naysayers on this page are on about?
Chapter 14 at the time of the writting and holy shit.
Great pacing on the first chapter. Made me care about the characters right then and there.
Next part, lots of proper build up, strong climax, building up a bit on the reality our protagonist lives in.
The one after that, further twist on his reality, and is the one currently unfolding.
But all in all? It's fucking terrific. I appreciate having a clearly dark fantasy with a protagonist who's actually a good person striving to do his best, and not excusing himself on "This world is terrible and I need to do what I must"
No, no. The world sucks, people can be shitty, and hell, fates decided that the underlining fabric of reality seem to HATE our protagonist and his surrogate daughter. And despite all that? "I'm here because people tried to protect me, I'm here because I was given love. And I have someone to protect, and who needs to be loved. And that's why I must strive to do good"
And this ain't shonen power of friendship and that bullshit. No. This is about the indomitable human spirit, and how kindness is inherent to it.
Anyone upset or who finds that "bad writting" can get the asses and their edgelord bingo card fucking checked.
I can only hope this is sucessfull and that the author can expand on all the glorious details full on, because the little tid bits of world building he's dropping here and there are promissing, and I want the full banquet.
