- The best part about this novel is that the author writing is amazing! It has very smooth flow to it, which makes it so addicting to read.
- It's core concept is unique, creative even and this will continue with the rest of the vols, ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ต...
๐พ๐ค๐ฃ๐จ:
- The execution of the core concept is okayish at best.
- Most of the twists/reveals are badly done, very rushed, not given inof time to feel them (these type of twists/reveals need a lot of time to be felt and get invested in them) .

The story picks up around 30% of the vol ig, and then it kind of goes well but then the twists and reveals were totally rushed, ruining the scenes. Taking another 50-100 pages to do right the twists and reveals and make the pacing a little better would have been great. As the writing is great so another few pages wouldn't have been a issue.
I was really curious about the next vols when I was in the middle of the first vol but now I don't think I will continue with the series as the conclusions for the plot points were rushed and lacked any feel.
Characters: Okayish... Not given inof time. Could have been better if more time was given to them. Some characters just come and go. Even main characters were not that deep. For first vol.. They're fine ig.
Story: Nearly 2-3 or even more plot points were running at the same time even though you might not know until the end (sounds great I know but isn't executed well, sadly) but they almost never felt fast but rather rushed.
U should give this a try and see if it's ur cup of tea, u might even like it a lot! And writing is great which is a plus๐.
Btw, each vol refers a certain novel (classics mostly) but it's not mandatory to read them to get the whole experience I believe (though luckily awhile back I read the book which was referenced in the first vol).
