I loved it, but the end was too quick. |

mwa, i don't really like it that much. When compared to hotel (check the discussion page2 there and you know why i compare them :P) the artwork was worse. And i disliked the dialogue too.      |

i love this one-shot. but i really want is to become a full serialization of it.. "Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it."  chiquit |

This was average, the art was good and the story was interesting...until the ending. At then end the first think i thought was: "...so in 400 no one tried to fish something in the ocean?" Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the General Forum Guidelines! |

I liked this one shot, but I found that the characters in it turned their mind too quickly. For example that kid was easily shocked by the view of the outside and seeing him giving up his dreams right after (without second thoughts) disappointed me. Of course that was probably due the shock of the moment and he probably didn't give them up definitely. But apparently only showing that view was enough to break everyone else motivations and I don't find believable. And the villagers were easily convinced by Mar's short speech. Again I didn't like it at all. This is probably because of the one shot format, but the characters were influenced by easy shocks. Anyway I liked the theme, this was well place, the drawings were really nice, and the universe was well introduced. I enjoyed it so it gets a 7/10 from me. |

The plot was interesting and stuff but kinda weird how everyone needs so little convincing to do something (well I guess that's why it's a one shot). Huge twist at the end but somehow she figures it out ...?! Uh ... sure, I'll suspend my disbelief I suppose ... Read it right after Hotel, it's good but not great. Enjoyable though, so I guess I'll give it 8/10 TSC badge / Jmac fanpin / MCCol badge request / TCO badge / ASC badge / YC badge / WS badge / MCA badge / AMCW badge / CO badge / SoLC badge / ABC badge / FWC star card |

It felt like it could have and should have been so much better. |

Author didn't even bother to tell us why the girl could read books =| Yeah, it felt too coincidental. Even though no one else could have taught her, since her mother never displayed the ability to read. Oh well, it's a restriction of being a one-shot. Nice concept, but it felt a little confused at the end. The pacing seemed a little off and the resolution in the story didn't feel in keeping with the beginning. |
