A Decent Story, But...
5ouls isn't a bad story. It is nothing special, but it isn't terrible. Unfortunately, it is riddled with typos, grammatical errors, and odd sentence structure, among other things, all of which mark it as a product of vanity publishing. It is very obvious that a professional editor never looked at this text.
Additionally, while I enjoy shorter stories, this book had too much plot for the space it was provided, such that the pacing felt like a speed run. Characters made emotionally charged decisions so quickly that they occasionally came across as callous or sociopathic, emotionless or at least feigning emotion, just because of how quickly things happened due to the lack of text. The story needed to be either 30 pages shorter or about 70 pages longer, but as it stands, it exists in an awkward middle state.
Still, reading this beat doing nothing!
