    I really like the first chapter so far. I wrote this review to show my thanks to the author as I know that it takes a lot of efort to come up with original stories like these. The first chapter that's been released so far was very good. I would surely recommend this author as he maneges to write his stories in such a way that you get absorb in the plot. The details and emotions are crazy good as well. He makes his story so vivid that I read it twice. The author really knows how to write. Even though the story is sad you get the feeling that the mc is trying his best to reach his goals. I think the first chapter was a chapter to explain what happened before so I'm looking forward to see development in how he acts. Even though there are some small grammar mistakes this can happen to all of us so I'm not bothered by them. You can also see that the author switches how he approaches his way of writing to make things easier. I am loving it, so please keep making these kinds of stories so we can keep enjoying them.
