This part of your novel has the wonderful ability to draw the reader into a detailed and dazzling fantasy world. Starting with the detailed description of the fiery castle and the spirit world, where your skill is evident in presenting vivid, attention-grabbing scenes. The description of the castle, with its high walls, glowing windows, and fires that surround the ground, reflects your creativity in building imaginative worlds rich in detail. This makes the reader feel like they are living in this world on fire, which is a huge accomplishment.
Ifirit's character is brilliantly shown as a fiery king who suffers from boredom and restrictions, making him a character with multiple depth and details. Depicting him sitting on his throne in a state of boredom, while being able to watch everything that happens in his domain, adds a dramatic dimension and makes the reader sympathize with him.
Moving on to the story of Tay Mallor adds an interesting dimension to the story. The depiction of his battle with the mortals and his perseverance to survive, even in the face of great difficulties, highlights his endurance and determination. This enhances the appeal of the story and adds an element of suspense.
The text is also characterized by a distinct narrative style, where language is used skillfully to create an interesting and attractive atmosphere. Detailed descriptions of battles and magical developments add an element of excitement and keep the reader eager to know what will happen next.
In general, the part reflects a strong ability to create a rich and attractive fantasy world, with interesting characters and an exciting plot. There is good continuity between events and precise details that enhance the reading experience.

Overall, the plot has great potential, and the investment is clearly visible. However, I personally feel that the interpretation is a bit problematic here. I found the presentation to be quite lengthy and prone to "tell but rather show".
I probably don't need to mention the spelling errors, but if you ignore this and a little storytelling problem, I think everything is quite wonderful.
As for the character, I recently received advice that "Conflict is your engine; fuel it any chance you get."
I find this advice completely applicable and helps your story quite a lot because, up until the current chapter I'm reading, I felt a bit emotionally empty on both Fay and Ifirit's parts, since I'm not yet talking about supporting characters.
Personally, I never judge too harshly issues that the author can absolutely improve on, so I think this series seems a bit lacking but deserves to be better known. I hope you persevere with your brainchild!
