The story started with a bang. I really liked how you described the father's feelings about the child abduction alert. You didn't just list what he felt, but skillfully portrayed it through gestures, which is always a sign of a skilled writer.
The interactions between the characters are beautifully crafted; I nearly got teary-eyed from the moment between Shin and his daughter. The dialogues were straightforward and felt realistic—nothing seemed forced. Also, "Steven Queen" made me laugh out loud.
The text flowed smoothly and didn’t stumble. Some scenes could have been slowed down, for example, when focusing on Shin's thoughts and the events happening around him.
There was a nice balance between the dialogue, the description of the environment, and the action. At times, the scenes were dialogue-heavy, but it wasn't a constant issue.
I would have liked more focus on Shin's blindness, perhaps some description or narration of his feelings and how the disability affects his life. At times, it seemed like Shin could still see, for example, during unnatural situations, so this could have been explained a bit more.
Overall, I think the plot is very interesting ad unique, and I'll likely continue following its development. I really enjoyed the story, and I can 100% confidently recommend it to others!
