What a ride. I had no idea that this was the guy that wrote WoMW, and while I enjoyed this, it definitely has the subtle flavor of a compromised magnum opus. There's so much care put into the first two hundred chapters that it practically drips tone and ambiance, and then it slowly sheds that deep consideration for a faster paced action oriented focus. It's a shame because the people that loved the slower paced start probably aren't as enamored with the later sections, but the people that love the more standard action focus probably won't stick through the first couple hundred chapters.
I hope they keep writing, and ideally get the chance to write on their own terms, without needing to compromise on their vision. The concept was great, but things got a little messy and repetitive as time went on.
