I'm so in love with this book

I like how the title actually stay true to the architecture part, as I'm someone who's kinda familiar with architecture myself, this book exceed my expectations

During the few early chapters, I saw some comments about people not liking the ML, so as to not affecting my reading experience and opinions, I decided to not delved too far into comment section, and it's indeed the right thing to do

The story is slowly progressed but it didn't makes me feel bored, the relationship are slowly building in the perfect rhythm

I can see how MC slowly progressing to improve his character, he was really relatable person, being clueless fresh graduate, not really sure of what he need to truly pursue, confused about his own goals, feeling frustrated at his own shortcomings until he finally find his own goals and personal purpose, I am also glad that ML is someone that can lead MC into the great path, while some people might think he is kinda controlling at how he act around MC during early chapters it's all turn out for MC good sake. And I do feel like if you really want to achieve something great, polishing your foundation and stay focus and consistent is the key. Not many people can do this. Not many people can pursue their passion because of the lack of privilege, but while you can, it's good to pursue it even you have to sacrifice other things. You only live a short life anyway, while making money is good, if your only goals is only money then it would probably still feel like you lack sense of peesonal achievement, can't say this for all of people tho. Some people goals are always different than us

The side characters are also carefully written. You can see that everyone here has their own problems and shortcomings, and yet the author letting us to know that each character has their own goals and achievement.
