As the title makes clear, this is a superpower story, specifically one where different characters develop different powers as they go. Some of the powers are what you might expect but the very first one is an odd, and the full set has yet to be revealed.
Characters were on a plane that crashes in the middle of nowhere. From the get go it’s clear this was no accident.
There is an oddball sense of humor that’s frequently jarring in a good way. I don’t think you’ll predict the course of this one, it is definitely not formulaic.
Author is an incredibly solid writer and editor; style is top notch and grammar is perfect (or modified for effect rather than off out of sloppiness).
Story is very intriguing, and the characters make for a very entertaining ensemble. The main weeb is so cringingly familiar to me that I almost want to give him a wedgie myself.
There's an "OVA" intermission that is a jarring break in tone (in a good way IMO) but really very fascinating. Pushes the whole enterprise into a whole other level in terms of literature. And there's fun ambiguity along the lines of "is this technology that's indistinguishable from magic or is it just magic"?
Author is updating frequently. I have many years of familiarity with his works and can candidly say it will be worth following this one (as well as his other, if you’re interested in something in a different genre from the same guy). Well worth a follow.
