really starting to drag. Hate the use of modern terms like "hyper-fixation" in the main characters internal dialouge, really dates the writing. The plot seems to be completely wrapped up now and I have no idea what we're going to do for the next 200 pages which is a bad thing. I'm actually starting to resent it a bit since the premise is good but the execution is so underwhelming.

A little bit dry, the characters feel a little bit flat and one note. I wish i knew more about them and liked them a little more. Also theres a bit of an issue with establishing stakes, nothing ever feels that serious? Also the dialouge is wayyyyy too modern, doesnt fit with the setting at all. The few action scenes are super hard to follow, i never know whats going on. not bad at all, just definitely a debut yk.

Kind of confused. Someone essentially nukes Magic Island, everyone there dies, since then no one is born able to use magic. since then people from the island on mainland are killed to "try and bring magic back"? why would that work, it went away bc everyone from Magic Island died. seems dumb. also explicitly stated there are other regions in the world that were completely unaffected, go see how they get their magic?
