The stories aren’t bad and the art is beautiful, but the pacing is awkward.
The scene/time would already have switched in between panels and yet you can’t tell until later. It feel like the story would really benefit from having more panels in between each of the current ones, so as to smooth out the pacing and make the transitions less confusing. In addition, the positioning of panels are occasionally confusing too.
Yes, the art is really beautiful and each of them are like an illustration, but comics is where storytelling is often more important than just having pretty pictures. It might be because it takes so long to make all of them pretty that we don’t have more panels, but I wish I can tell the artist that it’s ok to not have full-blown illustrations for all the panels.

Wow, this was absolutely gorgeous. The stories were also all quite intriguing, despite perhaps being slightly opaque. Still lovely though, leaving me wanting more!
