Loving this so far. Each character is well done in their own way. Hoping Jinshin and Ben work it out. Jacob's love for Blaire & wanting to protect her forcing him deeper into crime is a classic trope.


What I'm hoping to see later on will be how some of the clients act with the shrinkies. You can really get into some good stuff there without it affecting the main cast. 

I like how Deita and Jinshin ended up resolving things and will continue working together for now. Jinshin's going to have to decide between Ben and her master eventually.



Author's Response:

I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'm very excited to release the final chapter of volume I today, working on it right now :D

Yes with the set up of this world nearly complete, the next volume will be brimming with multiple bonus chapters to break from the main story and reveal the fates of Jacob's victims. I'll probably be releasing polls on the discord to see what interests people want to see written out, since I'm pretty open to anything.

Ben is definitely proving to be the outspoken nuisance Avaramix had warned Jinshin about, and yet she seems to allow it for whatever reasons she may have. Cannot wait to wrap up these little plots in the next volume.

Thanks for reading :D

Hello, It's me again with my little review. 

It is very interesting delving into the psyche of Jacobs mind. The horrors throughout his young life and the indignation he has for mankind. There are some deep ceded issues which could surface in the future, possibly harming those around him including Blaire.

The lies Jacob is telling Blaire will soon haunt him as you can never walk your way out of lies, they will soon find you no matter how far you move from the first lie. You seem to end up losing track of which lie you told, and they are soon discovered.

The banter between Deita and Jinshin is always enlightening. It seems Deita has been kept in the dark on some key intel. Not sure if she has picked up on Jinshin has more knowledge of what is going on in the organization than her. This may be something that has always been and nothing new, but I picked up on this right away.

This new organization O’Dias Karn is ominous and is interesting as who they are. Maybe it’s just me but I’m waiting for how Blaire’s family will intertwine into this underworld in the upcoming chapters. We may hear more from them in the second episode. The tease for the motivations of Jacob is intriguing, looking forward to learning more about those.

I guess I didn’t realize the facility would be that far away, makes since though. You wouldn’t want such a facility to be near anyone.

The shroud was lifted from Avaramix giving us a glimpse into is appearance. It also seems everyone so far in this story has a dark history of some sort. I would suppose this is the same in all life experiences. Our history will dictate who we become as an individual and how we live our lives and interact with those around us. Learning more about the motivations of Avaramix and the experiments that will be performed is haunting and could only be horrific for those test subjects.

The conversation between Avaramix and Jacob was enlightening. It seems the murder of Charles was unnecessary as the Blairs family were notified already we should have seen that coming. A very interesting turn with the proposal from Avaramix to Jacob. This is becoming a great cliff hanger for the next episode and how we move forward into this story. There seems to be a lot that will be written in the last chapter for this volume. You are great at leaving cliffhangers to keep the audience anticipating the next move. Great job on this chapter, I’m looking forward to where we go from here. There has been a lot written about and will have a lot to write in upcoming volumes in the future. You have created a great cast of characters that allow the audience to pick their favorite. So far mine is Jinshin and Ben, I am feeling sorry for Liz and hoping there could be a saving for her but understand if she will not follow us into the next volume outside of Deita’s body. You have created a dynamic between the major characters that leave a lot of room to explore.



Author's Response:

My ultimate goal with volume 1 was to leave a pile of loose ends that would allow me to flesh out resolutions come volume 2, and it seems I've accomplished that.

So many things going on an once. Ben wants to die for some reason, Liz may soon be finding herself inside her final resting place of Deitas belly, Blaire may soon be facing more harassment from her family, Jacob is faced with a proposal of which he didn't see coming, and Avaramix now mentions of a new covert task force that's causing him some grief.

The seeds are sowed, now I await the harvest.

The final chapter of volume 1 will be something neat.
