I can tell that this story is written by someone who knows shit abt jinns or middle east. I cldnt finish it cause I hate when Americans (I just know it's written by a goodamn European or American most likely American) write abt the middle east.
First whether u believe things abt Jinns or not, we dnt know if they dnt have a civilization. They are just like human stuck up creatures who think of themselves the smartest pieces of shit out there 😒. Two no one controls or cn imprison a jinn there was one man on earth who cld do that and that was prophet Solaman. Mind he is a prophet in THREE Abrahamic religions. Four oh noo my religion is against medicine and direction said the american/ European. Here is a tip go read a bit of history the entirety of civilisations from China to Persian to Othomans to Arabs were advancing in science and medicine. They disected they knew the importance of being clean. Just cause Europeans at the time lived in piss dsnt mean the rest were. Ur modern medicine is heavily inspired by these civilisations. And guess what all these civilisations were attached to their religion so gt the fuck out of here with "science" vs. Religion crap 💩. Fifth in Islam resurrection is done with the GODDAMN SOULS not body WTF. Finally, my last straw was abt the angels. If there is any creatures who know fr certainty angels exist they are the jinns considering they SEE THEM and cn converse with THEM! THE JINNS are from fire humans are from mud and ANGELS ARE FROM LIGHT. They are completely diff creatures so the thought the jinn didn't know abt angels is baffling to me.
Atleast if u gonna write abt somebody else's culture detach urself with all the stupid stereotype shit that goes arround. Read a bit of history otherwise stay the fuck away from ppl's folklores and cultures 😒
