Description

Twelve years after monsters invaded the continent of Vulturia, the native human population is still struggling to adapt to their new normal. While most of the continent lives under the rule of these ferocious creatures, one civilization has managed to maintain some semblance of normal human rule.

Within the walled-off, poverty-stricken lands known as The Baening, where the earth is so barren that anything grown is considered a luxury, monsters and humans still wage an inter-species cold war out of necessity over the land's limited resources. However, things take a turn for the worse for humanity as a hidden natural predator has been making moves against their existence.

The Mimic's Mosaic is a multi-protagonist journey following an adventurer, a thief, a detective, a courtesan, a mime, a gladiator, a politician, and a serial killer, as their unique confrontations with humanity's greatest threat forces them to act for the sake of their future, and the future of their species' existence on the continent.

★★★★★ 4.5
While I didn’t read a large amount (only 10k words), I can see that this story will be spanning dozens of chapters if not more. It will be a large and immersive project when it’s all said and done.
Style: I really like how the story is written. The opening ‘letter’ has a lot of charm to it and each chapter has a quality that I don’t see very often. It does well to show the intentions of this being a collection of stories. There are a few instances where I feel like it’s a little TMI (regarding a paragraph in chapter 3 explaining where they do their bathroom business).
Story: So far, so good—albeit a little unclear. I can tell that there will be different challenges for all seven protagonists, but I’ve only been able to catch a glimpse of what the first one will need to face.
Grammar: I see no mistakes.
Character: I have a hard time getting a read on them. It feels like some—like Dee and Vi—are acting considerably flippant when you put their circumstances in mind, casually betting on the outcome of a fight that could determine whether they live or die. There’s not much to immediately make them distinct aside from their names and a little bit of personality.
