Monsters look like ass. Combat is downright terrible. Art is baseline most of the time. The most this has going for it is clothing, hair, faces, and the developing skill in drawing hands. Like, you can actually see bits of progress as the chapters go on. Background? I... don't remember?
Story is meh. It has more and more words as it goes on.
Characters play their part, but aren't as special as ML and FL.
5, as I'm disappointed the drawings don't poke through the stiff panels pretty much after the first chapter. That had a nice impact, but it disappeared.
