I disliked quite a few things about this book. First of all it just gave me major Anime vibes from pretty the whole setting and I very much dislike Anime. I also thought that this story took itself a little too seriously. Like I was promised some humor but there wasn't really much there (aside from the "bloopers" at the end of the book which were quite funny tbf). Also the (small) part of the world where this book takes place felt pretty generic and boring to me. 

It certainly helps though that it is a quick and very fast paced read and I think I like where it is going. The larger scale worldbuilding I found to be quite intriguing and I absolutely want to more about it. I also think that Lindon makes for an interesting, compelling protagonist and I'm curious where he and Yerin are going from this point forward. 

I also want to know more about how the progression part of this series is gonna unfold. This book mainly felt like a lot of setup for all that and the whole system is usually something that people rave about when talking about this series. 

I will read at least one more book in the series and hope that it will click a little more.
