I don't know about this one. Too few pages for such a long wait. I mean it's not even detailed art or anything, it's pretty average effort and yet it has less than 20 pages a chapter.
The first chapter is not that good. I too feel cringey. But that guard's attitude want me to look it a bit further. It's still uncertain whether the story is good or not. Wait for a bit
