Yeah it was quite a quick pace. But, I believe the author wanted to cater many plots. This did not affect my read though.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?
Was the story too fast paced, or too centralized around the main character?

I think you may be onto something. I think after Rion gets captured by Psyiirin would be a good point to stop and restart a new book. That would allow for more character development, more backstory.Medhansh Bhardwaj wrote: ↑02 Sep 2021, 08:55 This is not the only book as there is a series coming after. So the author could have simply stopped in an appropriate place and go to the next book if the book was getting too lengthy with the character development. It is good to introduce many characters at the beginning of the series. But the development of the characters is important too as there won't be appropriate moments to do that in later sequels of the series.
