Sadly no chapters uploaded yet.... but I was really interested, so I decided to purchase the original novel it was based on. I quite like the writing so far. I hope to see the manga translated one day... I'm pretty curious about how they translated the story to a visual format!

Dropped chapter 27 with a rating of four out of ten.
Terrible writing considering when to explain who the mastermind is and why they did it.
Shifting the blame (showing the mastermind) on one of the characters that had zero development makes me feel that you just picked one of them and made them take the fall, then oh, you had to craft them a backstory to explain your choice, even if it feels crafted just for the moment and not in line with the story...
What you should have done was craft a backstory (or at least give that character some personality,) and then it would make sense at the reveal by going back to who the mastermind is, not create a backstory just because you need to show a culprit (you don't even necessarily need to)...
I can't care about the outcome because you didn't try to make me care about the characters' story; it was litteraly inexistent. Then the explanation looks so fake, and you really had to make it last so long after that, after you made me lose interest... Obviously I'm not going to continue reading.
It's good entertainment for 20+ chapters (the 11/10 art plays a huge part in this,) but it's not worth any interest after that. I would say it's not worth the interest anyway; only keep a lookout for the artist's next projects.
Before the reveal, I'd rate this manga a seven because the art is great at bringing in the tension or the calm when needed. It's a 6/10 otherwise, because the intrigue is average at best, but there is still some tension here and there, so it's not that bad.
