I am loving the story but the writing is throwing me a bit: American modernisms all over the place (and it takes a lot to have me notice it), descriptions of action or characters' emotions can get confusing (is that due to the writer favoring "vibes" over effective writing? Not sure yet but possible / also weird focus on romance-like feelings and romance-like writing of those at times)... All in all, a bit jarring

This is becoming a case of wasted potential. Great ideas with absolutely no foundational work. Characters also have stopped making sense by lack of grounding: they have the one defining past event/trait each we keep getting back to, but it's just not enough. It's a starting point, ok, but can't be the only thing grounding them through change. Because of that, all their character growth feels accidental, if not random
