A shoddily executed work by a moderately skilled author. Added a star to my rating because I think I like Liv as a person. It soon became a chore to read after the initial chapters. Things start happening again plot-wise in Chapter 57, and like Taint the work cuts out without a satisfactory conclusion, after Chapter 58. I've not detailed all the aspects I dislike and judge to be poorly executed about the work here; it would be exhausting, the work's not finished, and the author seems absent. Trials also might suffer in contrast to Taint. I have given a rating, because pessimistically, I don't think there're going to be any more Chapters for either work, after a six year hiatus.
Did I judge Taint too highly? I'm fairly ignorant of qigong practices, except through fiction, but overall I enjoyed it.
> "Alteran" primarily refers to an advanced ancient species in the Stargate science fiction franchise who originated in a distant galaxy and later split into the Ancients and the Ori, as well as an existing medical term referring to beat-to-beat alternations or fluctuations
Electrical Alternans: A classic sign of cardiac tamponade, electrical alternans involves small spikes in the heart's electrical pattern that alternate in shape from beat to beat.
T-Wave Alternans: A fluctuation in the area under the T wave on an electrocardiogram, T-wave alternans is associated with an increased risk of ventricular fibrillation and other lethal arrhythmias.
Pulsus Alternans: A term also related to alternans, pulsus alternans refers to a pattern of strong and weak heartbeats
mmm cardiac taponade muh fav
'Nova' has misunderstood the plot of 300, I think
> "Tekkou" refers to traditional Japanese protective wrist or forearm coverings, also known as hand-guards or gauntlets. While tekkou can be made from fabric for protection during work or travel, they are also available in iron for combat and are worn by ninjas, martial artists, and traditional workers like gardeners to protect against injury, conceal weapons, and provide comfort and warmth

There's more to verify than trust
imprecation - a spoken curse
late Middle English: from Latin imprecatio(n- ), from imprecari ‘invoke (evil)’, from in- ‘towards’ + precari ‘pray’
'Nova' has misunderstood Batman
Sirius also seems to have misunderstood Batman if he's going round shooting people in the head
Drakkar - dragon boat
