English title: Treading the Path of Fire. I read Ainikki's fan-translation of this novel.
This story is a prologue to Traveler of the Blue Road, but was written afterwards. It has an ending epilogue that takes place after Blue Road, and a prologue to Balsa's story that takes place during Guardian of Heaven and Earth, but those are throwaway chapters that don't really spoil anything. I read it immediately after Guardian of the God and Traveler of the Void, before reading Traveler of the Blue Road for the first time.
Hugo is an intriguing character. He has many shades of Balsa in him. As a prologue written after the main book, it's limited in what it can do with character development. Hugo has to end this novel where he begins the next one in terms of character development. So as a standalone, it's not a great novel. However, reading it while thinking of it as a prologue, it works. I want to see Hugo return and I want to learn more about him.
Balsa's story, "My Fifteen Year Old Self", is entirely throwaway. We learn nothing about Balsa or Jiguro. Its only purpose is to drive home the similarities between Balsa and Hugo.
