Sign inGenuinely one of the better paced entries in this genre right now. No filler arcs so far.
Anyone else notice the author keeps setting up payoffs four arcs early? Went back and reread and it's all there.
You're going to love chapter 40 then.
Agreed, though I'd argue the middle section is doing setup work you only appreciate later.
This is the rare one where the protagonist being competent doesn't kill the tension. The obstacles just scale.
Been saying this for weeks and getting downvoted for it, so vindication feels good.
This is the comment that convinced me to start it, so thank you.
Best thing I've read on this site all year. The premise sounds gimmicky and then the execution is anything but.
The translation quality here is genuinely a cut above. Footnotes where they're needed and nowhere else.
Disagree slightly — I think it's meant to stay ambiguous until the arc closes.
Same read. The phrasing in the second half makes it pretty unambiguous once you catch it.
