>Didn't advance into the plot.

I'm replying to a seven-eight month comment and, like, 3 pages away but I'd just like to put down my two cents on plot advancement.

You're reading slice of life. A plot is rarity in this genre, let alone, advancement. If you expect a western style storytelling where Freytag's Pyramid is God, you're gonna have a bad time.

Eastern/Japanese writing on the other hand is produced more on "Kishotenketsu." It's not a bad style, just different, where the story is driven by the characters instead of the plot.

There's actually a lot more differences between Western and Eastern story telling. There's a video on YouTube by Literature Devil, who I personally found to explain quite well.

That is the most accurate explanation of combay survivor's guilt ever.
Except most military people never ever put it into words, and just suffer for years.

Huh, I wasn't expecting such writing in this. Good portrayal of survivor and commander's guilt, while also not going with the easy route of using the walking nuclear warhead that is Ruti to solve all the problems, and instead going with a country unifying event.
