Started the novel with low expectations (expecting a typical op hunter story) but was pleasantly surprised.

I really enjoyed the story until now. Firstly, I adore the cast of characters. They are memorable and feel real, and I look forward to seeing them interact. (This applies to their abilities too - actually another highlight is the way the unique abilities are written)

Secondly, I like how the plot (until now) manages to keep the tension high, even with the op-ness of the protagonist. He gets into many situations where you actually... more>> wonder what's going to happen next. There is also consistency, meaning that events that happened matter and get referenced again throughout the story.

Lastly the protagonist himself is very interesting to read about - his background is fleshed out as well as his personality and motivation/morals. He is not static, and his character develops along the story.

My main criticism is that sometimes the face-slapping scenarios are kind of obvious, but that can be forgiven since the set-up makes sense and the payback is satisfying.

Another point is that sometimes the gender of one character gets messed up, but that can also be excused since it's rare and easily overlooked.

In summary this is a story that is not inventing something completely new. Yes it is a hunter-gate etc. Story. Yes the MC has special abilities. But what makes this story interesting is that the execution (of sometimes clichés) is done really well and fun to read. <<less
