I truly enjoyed your novel, and I commend you for crafting such a grim and pale undertone in your writing it significantly magnified the medieval settings. It’s rare to find an author who can evoke that kind of atmosphere so well. However, I had to drop the book a little before Chapter 100 due to a slight shift in the writing style.For example, the interaction between the Sphinx and the dragon felt somewhat off. I understand that you were likely adding some comic relief, but the choice of characters for this humor disrupted the tone for me. The dragon has been established as slow-witted, but the Sphinx, with its mysterious origins, felt out of place making playful jabs.Additionally, while the novel has a lot happening, it lacks a compelling force that keeps me craving more. There isn’t enough build-up in anticipation or suspense, and while the world is vast, the events so far barely make a dent in the grand geopolitical scale that has been shown.Power scaling also feels somewhat vague. A more structured approach, similar to well-written Eastern fantasy, could improve this—where no matter how strong the protagonist is, the reader always has a clear grasp of their standing in comparison to others. This would make battles more engaging, as it provides a sense of scale and progression.That being said, the novel is still an enjoyable experience. The only reason I dropped it is that I tend to chain-read the moment I dropped it i picked up a more appealing novel, and this story might be better appreciated at a more moderate, leisurely pace.P.S. If you haven’t uploaded your book on Chereads, you might want to check it out—someone else may have done so without permission.also I don't know if you changed it down the line but miaomiao saying miao after every sentence was off putting
