This is definitely not bad. Probably a 6 or 7/10. We get real harsh stakes throughout, and a cool mystery in regards to the system. In fact it's pretty refreshing that the system is being questioned so heavily throughout the story with clues to be gathered as well. The biggest thing holding this story back, and I don't see this changing at all is the human antagonists so far have been one-note and dull. No motives outside of the tropey reasons you'd expect. No character building for them.

World-building is done quite well with a drip feed that keeps the story memorable. The author is not afraid of killing of characters suddenly. I was actually caught off guard by one death and was sad to see the character go like they did. The character work for the main cast is fairly decently done. They all come off as relatable to a degree. The flaws come in with the side-characters being just tools for driving forward the plot without many traits that make them feel alive with motives that make them feel human.

I like this enough to keep reading it as I definitely want to see what the author's end game is here. Overall a fun read I don't have a problem recommending to someone that likes dark weak-to-strong power fantasies with mystery elements.

Definitely interesting, I read through 35 chapters this morning, one of my main complaints is that the proofreading is bad on like every chapter, so many small issues and more than I would like that starts to get fairly bad.

I've come to not even notice/care about the proofreading unless we get a translation that's completely unreadable good catch on that though. This was one of those instances I didn't even notice it. My focus tends to be on storytelling when I feel the urge to type up some sort of review.

I notice it all the time, I end up having to autocorrect it in my head, kind annoying as it breaks the flow. I don't expect 100% perfection, but when there is consistent amounts of it that really annoys me. I really wish scanlation could evolve to be a bit more collaborative on fixing grammar/spelling issues. I would not mind submitting changes if it were quick and easy while I was reading.
