Author here! My review score accurately reflects my feeling on my story. If you like deep world building, strong character designs, clear character growth, and a completely flushed out plot you have come to the right story.The proof I can give you is the first two chapters are the ending point for volume 1. With a clear end point in place all that there is to do is fill in the blanks. I will also be frank. My grammar and spelling can be rough. I hope you will look past it and try to just enjoy the story.The book may start out slow but it will pick up in pace later on. There is a lot of background to build and a lot of moving pieces to generate and tie together.The story will continue forward to get to the tournament as I release chapters. However, there will also be plenty of flashbacks / cut scenes to flush out the story arcs dealing with James's parents, the lab, and the organization known as Black Death. I am a fan of video games and mysteries and I want to tie the two genres together in one place. Please be patient and enjoy my story. The chapter word count I am targeting is between 1,500 at the lowest to 3,500 at the highest. Ideally it will be closer to 2,000 words per chapter. The only reasons why a chapter's length would be around the 1,500 count is if I have to split a super long chapter in half or I get too busy on the weekend.I look forward to your input and comments!
