. . .Alright! So usually, I wouldn't even read such novels, but this time, I thought why not give it a try? And I wasn't disappointed! Rei is a really good mc, and his potential...definitely has a lot of potential. I enjoyed seeing his character grow, with his father's death. Ah yeah, that really hit hard. It's great that he didn't succumb to depression in the end. Slowly...slowly but steadily he'll get back to playing (I have high hopes).I give the plot a 4, but that's just a preference issue since I'm used to reading more "dramatic" novels. About the author's writing skills, it's a 4 from me, cos personally, I feel he can do better. The grammar certainly got better in the recent chaps. Character design, 4 here too because I think author-san can work a bit more on Sora and Meiko's characters. World background and updates, pretty much a 5. P.S: I really liked the bit where Rei met the boy who was alone in the park. It just showed how caring he could be, and how some minor incidents can bring forth a major change in our lives ^^. . .
