Sorry author-sama I'm dropping this novel. I read up til chp 123 I believe, titled Red Dress. The concept of the story was what got me into reading it, but when he turns 10 it starts getting fast paced. After discovering the oil in the parched lands it was nothing but invention after inventions popping up real fast, wasn't even stretched out but more skimmed over, not what I wanted to read in a worldbuilding novel. Now its to the point in the story we see the female lead when he's 11 years old, and she's 10 (as I'm writing this, they have yet to meet). She's quite basically the same as him just not in the magical class but the warrior class. Which is ok for most stories but in this one it just feels forced, it doesn't seem natural (she's his arranged fiance by both parents). For me this was the last flag.Hope people still read this though these are just my preference and opions. The writing quality is good.Storytelling in the beginning is good; now not so much.Character description is good.World building is there....Overall the concept is good but, unfortunately for me it just hit and missed the mark.
