    There are parts of this I really do like. I enjoy that it pays attention to interpersonal relationships between characters. I find it is rather uncommon in this genre so that alone has my interest.
    The story has obvious effort put into writing it. However, there were many things that took me out of the story. The shifting of point of view was one thing but how the way narration was treated made it hard for me to focus on  the story.
    Grammar is by far one of the weakest links. The countless tense changes, as mentioned, pulled me out of the story and halted it for me.
    As another reviewer said, there is something off about the story. There is little to no consistent world building and there is too much terminology that doesn't suit their world being used by the natives. The story is very slice of life, which is fine, but it doesn't have the tag for that. There is no focus on events making them a non-issue or even pointless, when that would be the catalyst for the characters actions and reactions.
    I have mixed feelings about the characters. They are developed well but I have little to no connection to them. Admittingly, a large part of it is due to the inconsistent worldbuilding and natives using language and context they shouldn't know.
    It's not a bad story, though I can see how it would have trouble on Royal Road.
