Status Updates From Vampire Hunter D Omnibus: B...

The style is an acquired taste. Still not sure I’m there yet, but the prose is considerably better. The opening scene is very atmospheric and cinematic

Volume one down. I could nitpick the writing all day, the man really could have used an empowered editor. But there’s something to be said for the unique lore and world building. There’s a latent talent for atmosphere that’s slowly carving itself out of the marble.

The prose is… well, the translator did their best I’m sure. In spite of the writing itself, the world and the lore has me pretty hooked so far. It’s a thick book, but not too dense. A pretty easy read.
