Was the story too fast paced, or too centralized around the main character?

I like the way Kperm explained it. If the plot drives the characters, it might seem that the book does not flow properly and the story is forced around the intended plan of the storyline.kperm wrote: ↑02 Sep 2021, 12:43I agree that the story felt forced. The characters were driven by the plot, and the author did not pay attention to developing the supportive characters. The book would be much more interesting if the supportive characters had more depth.Sushan wrote: ↑01 Sep 2021, 00:29 It felt like the story jump from one point to another too quickly without giving any time to develop the supporting characters. At most occasions all the changes, actions, or the decisions of other characters occurred just to support the needs of the main protagonist. Sometimes they felt like forced and done with no real motivation of their own.
Did you feel this lack of character build up and the story being 'too-centralized' around Rion? Or was it simply because of the first person narrative?
