Whilst i wouldn't say it's a bland story. It's very cliche in it's opening execution. For anyone wondering, these first 5 chapters are about as cliche as you can make it, and unfortunately, the pacing of whats there and caricature of some of the characters does not lend it to being particularly...
@Keyfrayba I wouldn't be surprised if it was both. Considering Orst's status as a hero of significant caliber, if they keep the typical developed OP tropes, Chenda could be the spirit/predecessor from which all them derive their species name.
